摘要:
A dielectric element is formed of a dielectric material exhibiting a magnetic resonance relaxation time, with a relaxation agent incorporated in the dielectric material that reduces the relaxation time of the dielectric material. The dielectric element is adapted for placement on a subject while magnetic resonance data are acquired from the subject, and locally influences the B1 field distribution in the subject during the acquisition of magnetic resonance data.
摘要:
A dielectric element for positioning on an examination subject for locally influencing the B1 field distribution during magnetic resonance data acquisition contains a relaxation agent bound to mutually separated particles. The relaxation agent incorporates a paramagnetic substance. In a corresponding method for acquiring magnetic resonance data from an examination subject, such a dielectric element is positioned on the examination subject for locally influencing the B1 field distribution, by homogenizing the B1 field of a magnetic resonance apparatus.

A local coil unit for a magnetic resonance apparatus, which radiates a radio-frequency field into an examination subject, has a housing and at least a part of the housing is formed of an insulating dielectric material that passively compensates for an inhomogeneity in the high-frequency field in the subject. The material has a relative dielectric value εr of greater than 50, preferably greater than 100, and a dielectric loss factor tan δ of less than 2.5×10−2, preferably less than 1×10−3. In the dielectric material displacement currents are generated which create an additional magnetic field that compensates for the minima in the B1 field as a result of the eddy currents arising in the patient due to the radio-frequency radiation.
摘要:
For generating of magnetic resonance exposures of an examination subject, a dielectric element with high dielectric constant is positioned on the examination subject to locally influence the B1 field distribution, the dielectric element being formed primarily of material whose magnetic resonance line(s) is/are shifted by at least a specific degree relative to the magnetic resonance line of water protons for a given magnetic field. In a measurement for generation of a magnetic resonance exposure a measurement sequence is used, such in the acquisition of the raw image data the dielectric material of the dielectric element supplies no signal contributions for the image generation and/or the signals caused by the dielectric material of the dielectric element can be separated from the signals caused by the examination subject.

In a method for manufacturing a gradient coil system for a magnetic resonance apparatus, the conductor arrangement of the gradient coil system is produced by successively applying respective layers of metal powder sinter material on a workpiece platform, and successively sintering the respective layers by the application of radiation, such as laser radiation, to the individual layers, and the conductor arrangement is assembled with other components to produce the gradient coil system. A gradient coil system manufactured in accordance with this method includes a number of assembled components, including an electrical conductor arrangement, with the electrical conductor arrangement having conductors formed by radiation-sintered metal powder material.

Magnetic resonance device (1) with an assembly (3) having a recess, in which a gradient coil unit (9) is attached with at least one attachment means (15, . . . 15D), the attachment means (15 ... 15D) having two members (21,23), between which an elastic element (25) is disposed, only one of the members (21,23) in each instance being in contact with either the gradient coil unit (9) or the assembly (3), with the attachment means (15, . . . 15D) acting as an attachment means (15, . . . 15D) having no elastic element (25) in a first attachment state, in which at least a minimum force (FMIN) presses the two members (21, 23) together, in that the two members (21, 23) have stop surfaces (31), which are in contact with each other due to the minimum force acting on the members (21, 23) [lacuna] compressed elastic element (25) and with the attachment means (15, . . . 15D) acting as a spring unit in a second fixing state, in that the elastic element (25) pushes the members (21, 23) apart in the event of forces smaller than the minimum force (FMIN) and causes the attachment means (15, . . . 15D) to be fixed in relation to the gradient coil unit (9) and the assembly (3). This has the advantage that there is no loosening of the attachment means in particular even in the event of thermal fluctuations.

In a shim board system with at least one shim board formed by an insulating substrate and at least one conductor trace on the substrate for generation of a shim magnetic field, in particular for homogenization of the basic magnetic field of a magnetic resonance apparatus, the insulating substrate is fashioned as a mesa in at least one segment similar to the conductor trace and following the curve of the conductor trace. Upon sealing, this allows a good saturation of the shim board system with sealing compound.
