Abstract

The invention discloses a method for accurately positioning the center of a gradient field of a MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) system. The method comprises steps of preliminarily determining the center of an initial gradient field according to the gradient coil structure, and arranging multiple measurement sampling points around the center as the origin of coordinates; measuring the background magnetic field of each sampling point; measuring the magnetic field of each sampling point when direct current flows through each of three gradient coils; performing linear fitting of real magnetic field data generated by the gradient coils; and determining a new magnetic field center according to fitting results, and determining whether to continue testing or not. The invention performs fitting according to measurement data to find the position of the center of the gradient field, and can position the center of the gradient coils more accurately compared with the traditional method using mechanical positioning, and has high precision.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for locating the center of a magnetic field, in particular to a method for precisely locating the center of a gradient magnetic field generated by a gradient coil in a nuclear magnetic resonance imaging system. The invention belongs to the field of research and development of nuclear magnetic resonance imaging system components. Background technique [0002] The magnetic fields in MRI include the static magnetic field generated by the main magnet, the gradient magnetic field generated by the gradient coil, and the radio frequency field generated by the radio frequency coil. Objects can only produce MRI images under the joint action of the three fields. In principle, when an MRI system is assembled, it is required that the magnetic field centers of the three components coincide with each other. And when scanning, the object should be placed in the center of the magnetic field as much as possible. If the actual imagin...
