Abstract

The invention provides an MR shimming auxiliary device and belongs to the field of medical auxiliary instruments. On the basis of chemical shift artifacts and magnetic susceptibility artifacts in imaging examination of brachial plexus with MR, the MR shimming auxiliary device is characterized in that a left shoulder supporting mechanism (4) and a right shoulder supporting mechanism (5) are correspondingly installed on the left and right sides of the upper end face of a lining plate mechanism (3), and arranged on the upper end face of the lining plate mechanism (3) in a left and right sliding manner; the lining plate mechanism (3) is provided with a headrest adjusting mechanism (2), and a headrest mechanism (1) is installed at the tail end of the headrest adjusting mechanism (2); two ends of a thermoplastic film (7) are correspondingly fixed at the upper ends of the left shoulder mechanism (4) and the right shoulder mechanism (5), a cavity is formed between the thermoplastic film (7) and the upper end faces of the left shoulder mechanism (4) and the right shoulder mechanism (5), and the inner wall of the thermoplastic film (7) is lined with a silica gel pad (6). The device can assist MR to obtain accurate contrast results.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an MR shimming auxiliary device. Background technique [0002] The brachial plexus is the most complex peripheral nerve in the human body. It has a long journey and a superficial position, which is prone to injury and acute neuroinflammatory tumor lesions. MR is an important imaging method for the brachial plexus. Currently, two-dimensional sequences such as fat Inhibit T2W sequence, STIR sequence, DWI sequence, etc. However, the shape of the head and neck region is irregular, the surface curvature changes greatly, the magnetic field distribution is uneven, and the magnetic susceptibility of the tissue gap is large, resulting in obvious chemical shift artifacts and magnetic susceptibility artifacts in brachial plexus imaging, and the fat suppression effect is also unstable. , thus causing a large error and increasing the uncertainty of clinical diagnosis. [0003] At present, there is no mature solution in the market. Individ...
