Abstract

The present invention discloses a multi-path shimming current source for magnetic resonance imaging and an operation method thereof, and relates to the magnetic resonance imaging field. The source comprises a constant-current source current module, a digital-to-analogue conversion module, a current sensor module and a controller module, a controller is connected with a digital-to-analogue converter through an SPI bus, the digital-to-analogue converter is connected with the constant-current source current module, the constant-current source current module is connected with the current sensor module, and the current sensor is connected with the controller through an I2C bus. A large-power Darlington tube is employed to extend the output capacity of operation and amplifier, different power sources are used by the output grades of the operation amplifier and the main power to allow the application of the system to be more flexible, and in the condition of facing the inductance load and being equivalent to very low series resistance value, the power-grade power supply voltage is properly reduced to substantially reduce the pressure of the Darlington tube. Each current source module is provided with a current sensor chip for current monitoring so as to perform feedback correction of current errors through PID control and reach the shimming purpose.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of magnetic resonance imaging, in particular to a multi-channel shimming current source for magnetic resonance imaging. Background technique [0002] Magnetic resonance shimming technology aims to eliminate the inhomogeneity of the magnetic field, which is of great significance to improve the imaging quality. Active shimming technology is to install shim coils in the working cavity of the magnet. The shim coils are composed of several copper coil arrays, which are regularly distributed on the surface of the cylindrical shim coil support. These coils have different sizes, shapes, and positions, and need to be powered by corresponding external constant current sources to generate the required correction magnetic field. The power supply mode of the shim coils in the prior art is that a single coil corresponds to a single power supply, so multiple shim coils need multiple independent current sources for power supply. ...
