Embodiment 1

[0038] Example 1 A syringe with a diameter of about 20mm is filled with water as a model to simulate the load of a finger. Apply GE signa 1.5T HDxt MRI scanner, finger finger RF coil adopts figure 2 For the finger RF coil shown, the scan sequence is:

[0039]

[0040] Such as Figure 5 Coronal images for the water model along Figure 5 The two mutually perpendicular directions (RL) and front-to-back directions (IS) measure the SNR at intervals of 2mm, and the diameter of the ROI is 2mm. Such as Figure 6 is the left-right direction (RL), such as Figure 7 In the front-back direction (IS), it can be seen that the image signal is relatively uniform and the SNR is high.

Embodiment 2

[0041] Example 2 The right middle finger of the volunteer was scanned. The volunteer was in a prone position during scanning, with the hand raised above the head, and the palm was placed downward on the palm chassis of the finger RF coil. The scanning equipment and sequence were the same as in Example 1. Such as Figure 8 It is a coronal image, the joint structure is clear, and the plane resolution is 0.156×0.130mm 2 .

Embodiment 3

[0042] Example 3 The right index finger of an RA volunteer. During scanning, the volunteer is in a supine position, and the hands are placed on both sides of the body. The palm is placed downward on the palm base of the finger radio frequency coil. The scanning equipment and sequence are the same as in Example 1, and the application image 3 Arc curved finger RF coils such as Figure 9 It is a coronal image. It can be seen that the fingers have a certain bending deformation, and the synovial membrane of the joints is thickened. Plane resolution is 0.156×0.156mm 2 .

Abstract

The invention discloses a radio frequency coil device for finger magnetic resonance imaging. The device comprises a chassis for supporting a palm and fingers and a finger radio frequency coil with a coil resonance circuit, wherein the chassis and the finger radio frequency coil are detachably connected; and coils with corresponding appearances are selected for deformed fingers of different patients; the chassis has an arc profile corresponding to the palm and fingers of a human body; a strip-shaped notch is formed in the upper part of the finger radio frequency coil, and fingers of the patient overcoming fear can conveniently enter and exit; and the coil circuit is formed by two rectangular coil groups, the two coils share the same coil circuit, and an adjustable capacitor is connected in series on the coil circuit. The radio frequency coil device can be used for solving the problems of fixing difficulty and long scanning time during finger magnetic resonance examination, the image signal noise ratio is increased, and a magnetic resonance image with high finger resolution can be acquired.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in particular to a radio frequency coil device in magnetic resonance imaging, especially to a radio frequency coil device for high-resolution imaging of human fingers. Background technique [0002] Magnetic resonance imaging (Magnetic Resonace Imaging MRI) is the use of protons in the human body 1 H resonates in a magnetic field to generate a signal, which is a technique for reconstructing imaging. The excited protons gradually release the absorbed energy, and a radio frequency coil is used to detect the released energy, which is called Free Induction Decay (FID), and the excited atomic nuclei gradually release the absorbed energy, Its phase and energy level are restored to the state before excitation. To receive these released energy signals is to apply various radio frequency coils. This signal contains information about the body's protons and is used for ima...
