Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of magnetic resonance technology, and in particular to a power supply noise reduction device for an ultra-low field mobile magnetic resonance system. Background Art

[0002] A mobile MRI system is a miniaturized, portable magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. It is used in underdeveloped areas to provide timely medical assistance to patients far from major cities and hospitals. It can even be used in scenarios such as field rescue.

[0003] The RF coil is a key component in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems, and a stable power supply is crucial for maintaining its proper operation. An unstable power supply can cause the electronic components within the coil to malfunction, generating additional noise and reducing the signal-to-noise ratio of the MRI. Electromagnetic interference in the power supply system can couple into the RF coil, disrupting the transmission and reception of RF signals. Furthermore, the RF coil's operation can also adversely affect the power supply system. The RF signal generated by the coil can be transmitted through the power line, interfering with other equipment and affecting the stability of the entire MRI system.

[0009] An offline power supply module, which is used to directly power the magnetic resonance system. The offline power supply module is composed of a plurality of single-type energy storage elements, and the energy storage elements are configured as supercapacitors or lithium batteries;

[0010] The power switching module is configured to cut off the electrical connection between the public power supply and the offline power supply module during scanning, so that the radio frequency coil can be powered by the offline power supply module.

[0011] Preferably, the power switching module is a dual-circuit relay or a solid-state switch, the switching delay time of which is less than 10ms, and the switching process satisfies the zero voltage difference condition.

[0012] Preferably, the public power supply access module includes an EMI filter with a common mode rejection ratio of ≥60dB, a differential mode rejection ratio of ≥40dB, and an operating frequency covering 10kHz to 1GHz.

[0013] Preferably, when the supercapacitor group is selected, its equivalent series resistance is ≤5 mΩ, and an active voltage balancing circuit is configured to maintain the voltage difference between each capacitor in the group ≤50 mV.

[0014] Preferably, when the lithium battery pack is selected: it uses lithium iron phosphate cells with an internal resistance of ≤10mΩ and is equipped with a multi-stage temperature monitoring module to start forced air cooling when the cell temperature exceeds 45°C.

[0015] Preferably, a π-type filter is provided between the offline power supply module and the radio frequency coil, and its parameters satisfy:

[0016] Cut-off frequency ≤ 500kHz;

[0017] Insertion loss at 3MHz is ≥30dB.

[0018] Preferably, the switching action of the power switching module is synchronized with the change of the magnetic resonance gradient magnetic field, and the switching time point is located in the zero phase interval of the gradient pulse.

[0019] Preferably, the trigger logic of the controller is: when the magnetic resonance spectrometer sends a scan preparation signal, the power switching is completed 5 to 20 ms in advance, and the output voltage fluctuation during the switching does not exceed ±0.5% of the nominal value.

[0020] Preferably, the offline power supply module housing comprises:

[0021] Outer layer: 1.2mm thick 1J85 Permalloy, annealed in magnetic field to μ≥100,000;

[0022] Middle layer: 0.5mm electrolytic copper foil, spliced ​​by solder with conductivity ≥98% IACS;

[0025] Preferably, an isolated charging circuit is provided between the public power access module and the offline power module, with a charging efficiency ≥ 90%, and an overvoltage protection function is configured, with a protection threshold of 105% to 110% of the nominal voltage.

[0026] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0027] 1. This ultra-low field mobile magnetic resonance system power supply noise reduction device is equipped with a controller, a power switching module and an offline power supply module. By real-time monitoring of the scanning trigger signal of the magnetic resonance spectrometer, the power supply circuit is seamlessly switched from the public power supply to an offline power supply composed of a supercapacitor group or a lithium battery group 5-20ms before the gradient field is started. It completely cuts off the broadband conducted interference (covering the 10kHz-1GHz frequency band) generated by the start-up and shutdown of industrial equipment and the switching action of power electronic devices in the public power grid, reducing the background noise of the radio frequency coil receiving signal to below 1.5μVrms, which is more than 12dB lower than the traditional public grid direct supply mode, thereby improving the image signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) ) is improved by 10%-15%. At the same time, the offline power supply module suppresses the high-frequency radiation noise of the power supply circuit to below 30dBμV / m through the multi-stage filtering setting of the double-layer electromagnetic shielding shell (outer layer Permalloy + inner layer copper mesh) and the π-type filter. The gradient synchronous switching technology is used to eliminate electromagnetic transient interference in the time domain, so that the mobile MRI system can still stably obtain diagnostic-level images under harsh working conditions such as field power grid fluctuations (voltage distortion rate ≥8%) and strong electromagnetic interference (field strength ≥3V / m). The continuous operation reliability of the system is improved from 89% of the traditional solution to 99.5%, which greatly expands the application scope of mobile medical equipment in scenarios such as emergency rescue and medical rounds in remote areas.

[0028] 2. This ultra-low-field mobile MRI system power supply noise reduction device incorporates a π-type filter between the offline power module and the RF coil. This filter utilizes a third-order Chebyshev response with a cutoff frequency strictly controlled below 500kHz. This filter effectively filters out gradient coil switching noise (typical interference frequency range 10kHz-200kHz) and RF amplifier switching noise (primarily distributed in the 1MHz-5MHz band). By ensuring an insertion loss of no less than 30dB at 3MHz, it suppresses image interference corresponding to the second harmonic of the 64MHz Larmor frequency (128MHz), to which the MRI system is sensitive, to below the noise floor. The filter utilizes a low-loss manganese-zinc ferrite core (initial permeability μi ≥ 8000) and an NP0 ceramic capacitor (temperature coefficient ±30ppm / °C) to form an LC network. Combined with transmission line impedance matching technology (characteristic impedance 50Ω ±5%), this filter maintains a passband ripple of ≤0.2dB while keeping the filter group delay fluctuation within ±5ns, thereby preventing phase distortion in gradient echo sequences.

[0032] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0034] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, the ultra-low field mobile magnetic resonance system power supply noise reduction device includes a public power access module, which is used to connect to the public power grid; a controller, which is in communication with the magnetic resonance spectrometer and is used to receive a scan trigger signal; an offline power supply module, which is used to directly power the magnetic resonance system, and the offline power supply module is composed of a plurality of single-type energy storage elements, and the energy storage elements are configured as supercapacitor groups or lithium battery groups; a power switching module, which is configured to cut off the electrical connection between the public power supply and the offline power supply module during scanning, so that the radio frequency coil can be powered by the offline power supply module, wherein the power switching module is a dual-channel relay or solid-state switch, whose switching delay time is less than 10ms, and the switching process meets the zero voltage difference condition, and the trigger logic of the controller is: when the magnetic resonance spectrometer sends a scan preparation signal, the power switching is completed 5 to 20ms in advance, and the output voltage fluctuation during the switching period does not exceed ±0.5% of the nominal value, an isolated charging circuit is provided between the public power access module and the offline power supply module, whose charging efficiency is ≥90%, and an overvoltage protection function is configured, and the protection threshold is 105% to 110% of the nominal voltage;

[0035] The system is connected to the public power grid through the public power access module to provide basic power input. At the same time, an offline power module is configured as the main power supply during the magnetic resonance scanning. The offline power module is composed of several single-type energy storage elements, specifically a supercapacitor group or a lithium battery group as the energy storage unit. The power switching module realizes seamless switching between the public power supply and the offline power supply under the action of the scan trigger signal. The power switching module preferably uses a dual-channel relay or a solid-state switch as the core executive device. The switching delay time is strictly controlled within 10 milliseconds, and the zero voltage difference control technology is used during the switching process to ensure the voltage stability of the RF coil power supply circuit. The trigger logic of the device analyzes the scan preparation signal emitted by the magnetic resonance spectrometer in real time, and uses a pre-judgment mechanism to complete the power switching operation 5 to 20 milliseconds before the start of the scan, and suppresses the output voltage fluctuation within the range of ±0.5% of the nominal value during the switching process. At the same time, a high-frequency isolated charging circuit is provided between the public power access module and the offline power module. The circuit adopts a resonant topology to achieve a charging efficiency of not less than 90%, and integrates a multi-stage overvoltage protection mechanism. When it is detected that the offline power supply voltage exceeds 105% of the nominal value, the first-level buffer current limiting is activated, and when it reaches 110%, hard power-off protection is executed, thereby avoiding overload damage to the energy storage element while ensuring the charging speed.

[0036] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the public power access module includes an EMI filter with a common mode rejection ratio of ≥60dB, a differential mode rejection ratio of ≥40dB, and an operating frequency range of 10kHz to 1GHz.

[0037] The EMI filter configured in the public power access module adopts a multi-stage composite filtering architecture. Its common-mode rejection ratio reaches more than 60dB, which can effectively filter out common-mode interference signals generated by the start-up and shutdown of medical equipment groups and the operation of industrial inverters in the power grid. The differential-mode rejection ratio is not less than 40dB, which specifically suppresses the differential-mode high-frequency noise introduced by switching power supplies, inverter circuits, etc. The wide-band design with an operating frequency covering 10kHz to 1GHz can simultaneously eliminate the fundamental frequency harmonics caused by the switching of the magnetic resonance system gradient coil (typical interference frequency band 10kHz-500kHz) and the leakage of the RF transmission unit. High-frequency interference (typical frequency band 500MHz-1GHz) is prevented by this filter. By optimizing the parameter matching of the X2Y capacitor array and the common-mode choke, the conducted interference amplitude at the system input end is reduced to below 50μV while maintaining the insertion loss ≤0.3dB, thereby significantly improving the electromagnetic compatibility of mobile MRI equipment in complex power grid environments. At the same time, by suppressing the high-frequency interference components coupled from the power lines, the signal-to-noise ratio of the RF coil is improved by about 15%-20%. In particular, under low field strength conditions below 0.5T, the filter can effectively eliminate the stripe artifacts in the image caused by power supply interference.

[0038] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown in the figure, when a supercapacitor group is selected: its equivalent series resistance is ≤5mΩ, and an active voltage balancing circuit is configured to keep the voltage difference between each capacitor in the group ≤50mV. When a lithium battery group is selected: it uses lithium iron phosphate cells with an internal resistance of ≤10mΩ and a multi-level temperature monitoring module. When the cell temperature exceeds 45°C, forced air cooling is activated.

[0039] In the high-frequency noise test of the selected energy storage components, the following data were measured:

[0040] Noise spectral density comparison (1MHz-10MHz):

[0041] Frequency Points Supercapacitor bank (dBμV / m) Lithium battery pack (dBμV / m) Suppression gain 1MHz 32.5±0.8 48.2±1.2 15.7dB 3MHz 28.1±0.6 51.7±1.5 23.6dB 5MHz 26.4±0.5 54.3±1.8 27.9dB 10MHz 24.9±0.4 57.6±2.1 32.7dB

[0042] Among them: Ambient temperature: 25±1℃; Power supply voltage: 24VDC±0.1%; Load characteristics: Pulse load (peak current 50A, duty cycle 30%, frequency 1kHz);

[0043] The conducted noise of the supercapacitor pack decays exponentially with increasing frequency (attenuation slope -3.2dB / octave), while the noise of the lithium battery pack increases significantly after 3MHz due to electrochemical relaxation effects (slope +1.5dB / octave).

[0044] The supercapacitor's low ESR (≤5mΩ) reduces its equivalent noise bandwidth at 10MHz to 1 / 6 of that of a lithium battery pack (measured values: 0.8MHz for a supercapacitor pack vs. 4.7MHz for a lithium battery pack).

[0045] When the load changes suddenly, the voltage fluctuation of the supercapacitor group (ΔV = ±0.05V) is reduced by 67% compared with the lithium battery group (ΔV = ±0.15V), verifying its ripple suppression capability.

[0046] Test data shows that supercapacitors offer significant noise suppression advantages over lithium-ion batteries in the 1-10MHz frequency band. In particular, at 3MHz (corresponding to harmonics of the 64MHz Lamor frequency) and 10MHz (RF amplifier switching frequency), frequencies sensitive to magnetic resonance systems, supercapacitors achieve noise attenuation of 23.6dB and 32.7dB, respectively.

[0047] Therefore, when selecting energy storage components, a supercapacitor array with an equivalent series resistance (ESR) as low as 5mΩ was chosen. Combined with an active voltage-sharing circuit based on a bidirectional DC / DC converter, the voltage difference between each capacitor in the array can be suppressed to less than 50mV within 10ms. This not only increases the energy utilization rate of the supercapacitor array to over 98%, but also reduces the ripple factor of the RF coil power supply circuit to ≤0.05% by reducing dynamic internal resistance fluctuations. This makes it particularly suitable for the extreme operating conditions of emergency MRI systems, where they are frequently started and stopped (≥50 charge and discharge cycles per day).

[0048] When selecting the lithium battery pack, stacked lithium iron phosphate cells are used, and their internal resistance is strictly controlled below 10mΩ. Combined with a three-level temperature monitoring architecture based on multi-sensor fusion (NTC thermistor + infrared thermal imaging + electrolyte pressure detection), when the temperature of a single cell exceeds 45°C, the dual-turbo air cooling system is activated (wind speed ≥ 5m / s), which can control the temperature difference between the cells to within ±2°C. At the same time, phase change heat storage material (paraffin / expanded graphite composite material) is embedded in the bottom of the cell to absorb the Joule heat generated by instantaneous high-current discharge, allowing the lithium battery pack to still maintain more than 85% of its effective capacity in an ambient temperature of -20°C to 55°C. This is particularly suitable for mobile medical vehicles working in remote areas with large temperature differences between day and night. The battery system safety level is improved to the UL9540A standard through an active thermal runaway warning mechanism (an alarm is triggered when the temperature change rate is ≥5°C / min).

[0049] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, a π-type filter is provided between the offline power supply module and the RF coil, and its parameters meet the following requirements:

[0050] Cut-off frequency ≤ 500kHz;

[0051] Insertion loss at 3MHz ≥30dB;

[0052] The π-type filter set between the offline power supply module and the RF coil adopts a third-order Chebyshev response design, and its cutoff frequency is strictly controlled below 500kHz. It can effectively filter out the gradient coil switching (typical interference frequency band 10kHz-200kHz) and the RF amplifier switching noise (mainly distributed in the 1MHz-5MHz frequency band). By setting an insertion loss of not less than 30dB at 3MHz, the image interference corresponding to the second harmonic (128MHz) of the 64MHz Larmor frequency to which the magnetic resonance system is sensitive can be suppressed to below the background noise level. The filter uses a low-loss manganese-zinc ferrite core (initial magnetic permeability μi ≥ 8000) and an NP0 ceramic capacitor (temperature coefficient ±30p pm / ℃) to form an LC network, combined with transmission line impedance matching technology (characteristic impedance 50Ω±5%), while ensuring ripple within the passband ≤0.2dB, the filter group delay fluctuation is controlled within the range of ±5ns, thus avoiding phase distortion of the gradient echo sequence. The equivalent noise temperature generated by the filter at 3MHz is measured to be ≤85K, which is approximately 40% lower than that of conventional RC filters. At the same time, by optimizing the damping coefficient ξ=0.707 (critical damping state), the resonance peak is suppressed (Q value is controlled between 3 and 5) while maintaining a steep roll-off characteristic (transition band slope of -60dB / decade), significantly improving the electromagnetic compatibility level of the mobile magnetic resonance system in complex electromagnetic environments.

[0053] The π-type filter integrates a Q-value dynamic adjustment mechanism based on load current feedback. By real-time monitoring of the instantaneous working current of the RF coil (sampling rate ≥ 1MS / s), a variable step gradient descent algorithm is used to dynamically adjust the resistance of the parallel damping resistor Rd. The specific implementation method is: when the load current change rate di / dt ≥ 106A / s is detected (corresponding to the rapid switching stage of the gradient field), a low-resistance damping resistor (Rd = 10Ω ± 1%, power margin 200%) is automatically connected to suppress the Q value to below 2.5 to eliminate the risk of resonance; during steady-state operation (di / dt ≤ 104A / s), it switches to a high-resistance state (Rd = 1kΩ) to restore the Q value. The strategy is implemented through a composite adjustment circuit consisting of a digital potentiometer (10-bit resolution) and a MOSFET. Its response time is ≤5μs, and the introduced additional noise is ≤3μVrms. Combined with a temperature compensation network (NTC thermistor + op amp compensation circuit), the damping coefficient can be kept stable (Δξ≤±0.05) within the range of -40°C to 85°C. EMC testing has verified that this adaptive adjustment mechanism reduces the peak resonant voltage of the filter under burst pulse interference by 72%, while compressing the passband ripple to ≤0.05dB. This improves the dynamic adaptability by at least an order of magnitude compared to a fixed-Q design.

[0054] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, the switching action of the power switching module is synchronized with the change of the magnetic resonance gradient magnetic field, and the switching time point is located in the zero phase interval of the gradient pulse;

[0055] The power switching module analyzes the current waveform output by the gradient amplifier in real time and uses fast Fourier transform (FFT) to extract the fundamental frequency phase information of the gradient pulse. When the instantaneous phase angle of the gradient current signal enters the zero phase window of -0.05π≤θ≤+0.05π, the switching action is triggered. This synchronization mechanism can effectively avoid transient electromagnetic interference caused by rapid switching of the gradient field (typical switching rate ≥100T / m / s). By strictly controlling the power switching time to the zero point of the second derivative of the gradient coil current (corresponding to the rate of change of magnetic flux d 2 Φ / dt 2 =0), the eddy current losses induced by magnetic field abrupt changes during switching can be reduced to less than 18% of those in conventional asynchronous switching modes, while also avoiding cross-coupling interference between the gradient coil and the radio frequency coil (the measured coupling coefficient is reduced from 0.15 to 0.02). This strategy reduces the geometric distortion rate of magnetic resonance images by approximately 75%. In particular, in diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequences, the angular resolution error of white matter fiber tracking is compressed from ±8° to within ±2°. Furthermore, phase-locked loop (PLL) technology is used to achieve a phase tracking accuracy of ≤0.5μrad. Combined with an adaptive window width adjustment algorithm (the window width is inversely proportional to the gradient switching frequency), the switching time error is ensured to be ≤1μs within the gradient frequency range of 1Hz to 5kHz, thus meeting the timing synchronization requirements of high-speed sequences such as cardiac cine imaging.

[0056] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the offline power module housing includes:

[0057] Outer layer: 1.2mm thick 1J85 Permalloy, annealed in magnetic field to μ≥100,000;

[0058] Middle layer: 0.5mm electrolytic copper foil, spliced ​​by solder with conductivity ≥98% IACS;

[0059] Inner layer: 0.3mm anodized aluminum heat dissipation layer;

[0060] The spacing between layers satisfies d = 5 × (ε_r) ^ 0.5 mm, where ε_r is the relative dielectric constant of the interlayer medium;

[0061] The composite shielding shell adopts the synergistic effect of three layers of heterogeneous materials and optimized interlayer spacing to achieve full-band electromagnetic interference suppression and efficient thermal management. The outer layer of 1.2mm thick 1J85 Permalloy is annealed in the axial magnetic field (treatment conditions: 800℃×2h+550℃×4h, magnetic field strength 1200A / m) to increase its magnetic permeability to ≥100,000. Combined with the (110) crystal plane preferential orientation technology, the hysteresis loss is reduced to 35% of the conventional annealing process. In a 0.5T static magnetic field environment, the shielding effectiveness against 20Hz-100kHz low-frequency magnetic interference reaches more than 68dB, especially eliminating the low-frequency eddy current artifacts caused by the residual magnetism of the gradient coil; the middle layer of 0.5mm thick electrolytic copper foil (purity ≥99.9 9%) is spliced ​​with high-conductivity solder (Sn96Ag3Cu1, conductivity ≥98% IACS) using a vacuum diffusion welding process (welding temperature 450°C, pressure 15MPa) to form a seamless continuous conductive layer. The shielding effectiveness against medium and high frequency electromagnetic interference of 100kHz-10MHz is ≥85dB. At the same time, the skin effect loss is reduced by 22% through the micron-level roughness treatment of the copper foil surface (Ra=1.2-1.8μm). The inner layer of 0.3mm anodized aluminum (hard anodized film thickness 25μm, hardness HV ≥400) has both electromagnetic shielding and heat dissipation functions. Its thermal conductivity ≥200W / (m·K) can reduce the temperature rise rate of the energy storage component by 40%, and the spacing between each layer strictly follows d=5√ε_r mm design (for example, when polyimide dielectric film is used between layers, ε_r = 3.5 corresponds to d ≈ 9.35mm). The interlayer parasitic capacitance is controlled within the range of 2-5pF through the impedance matching principle, effectively suppressing GHz-level high-frequency coupling noise while improving the overall mechanical strength to IP67 protection level. Field measurements have verified that the average shielding effectiveness of this structure in the 10MHz-1GHz frequency band reaches 92.3dB, which is 41dB higher than the traditional single-layer shielding solution, and the temperature gradient of the hot spot on the shell surface is ≤3℃ / cm 2 There is no thermal stress deformation under 48 hours of full-load operation, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the mobile magnetic resonance system under harsh working conditions such as outdoor bumps, sudden changes in temperature and humidity.
