[0044] figure 1 It is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of the MRI apparatus 20A in the first embodiment. Such as figure 1 As shown, the MRI apparatus 20A has: a frame 21 , a viewing table 32 , and a top plate 34 . The top plate 34 is movably arranged on the examination table 32 so as to be supported by the examination table 32 . Furthermore, the MRI apparatus 20A includes, for example, a static field magnet 22 , a shim coil 24 , a gradient magnetic field coil 26 , and a transmission RF coil 28 in a cylindrically formed gantry 21 . The frame 21 corresponds to the part indicated by a thick line frame in the figure.

[0045] The subject P is placed on the top plate 34 . The static field magnet 22 and the shim coil 24 are, for example, cylindrical, and the shim coil 24 is arranged coaxially with the static field magnet 22 inside the static field magnet 22 .

[0279] Next, the MRI apparatus 20B of the second embodiment will be described. In addition, since the MRI apparatus 20B of the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment only in the recovery method of the backup MR signal data, only the difference will be described.

[0280] Figure 13 It is a schematic block diagram showing an example of the overall configuration of the MRI apparatus 20B of the second embodiment. The MRI apparatus 20B has a system control unit 52, an input device 62, a display device 64, a storage device 66, a system bus 54, an image reconstruction unit 56, an image database 58, an image processing unit 60, and the like in a control room. In addition, in Figure 13 For the sake of simplicity, the image database 58 and the image processing unit 60 are not shown (refer to figure 1 ).

[0281] In addition, the MRI apparatus 20B has, in the imaging room, a data-collecting type charging unit 620 , a frame 21 , an examination table 32 , a top plate 34 ...

Abstract

The MRI apparatus (20A) according to one embodiment comprises an RF coil device (100A), a first wireless communication unit (200A), second wireless communication units (300), an image reconstruction unit (56), and an assessment unit (412). The RF coil device detects and digitizes MR signals from the subject. The RF coil device comprises a data protection unit for storing the MR signals. The first wireless communication unit wirelessly transmits the MR signals digitized by the RF coil device. The second communication units receive said MR signals. The image reconstruction unit reconstructs the image data on the basis of the received MR signals. The assessment unit assesses whether or not there has been a transmission failure in the wireless communication between the first and second wireless communication units. When there has been a transmission failure, the first wireless communication unit wirelessly transmits the MR signals stored in the data protection unit to the second wireless communication units.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the invention relate to magnetic resonance imaging. Background technique [0002] MRI is an imaging method in which nuclear spins of a subject placed in a static magnetic field are magnetically excited by an RF pulse of a Larmor frequency, and an image is reconstructed from an MR signal accompanying the excitation. In addition, the above-mentioned MRI refers to magnetic resonance imaging (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), RF pulse refers to high-frequency pulse (radio frequency pulse), and MR signal refers to nuclear magnetic resonance signal (nuclear magnetic resonance signal). [0003] Here, an RF coil device (Radio Frequency Coil Device) is used, for example, to transmit an RF pulse to the spins of atomic nuclei in the subject and detect the generated MR signal by flowing an RF pulse current into the coil. The RF coil device may be built in the MRI apparatus, but may be recognized by the control unit of the MRI apparatus by being connecte...
