Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, if the MRI machine is reduced to a hand-held range, the polarizing coil and the gradient coil will inevitably be on the same side of the object to be detected, and the magnetic field generated by it is very different from the standard magnetic field, and the magnetic fields generated by each coil will overlap. , very irregular, making it impossible to use the existing ultra-low field MRI magnetic resonance imaging algorithm to reconstruct images, which is a difficult place to break through

Due to the limitations of the algorithm, it is impossible to package the polarization coil, gradient coil and magnetic flux detector together, and the layout cannot be compact, and the hand-held MRI system cannot be realized
