AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Because this distance error can cause an increase in frequency shift and seriously affect the image quality of the resulting tomographic image, it must be precisely controlled
Although the distance between the shield and the transmit coil is typically 20 mm, a tolerance of about 1 mm can actually occur in the assembly process described above, and a 1 mm tolerance causes a frequency shift of about 100 kHz
[0007] For this reason, a tighter tolerance on the distance between the shield and the transmitting coil is preferable; however, between the shield and the coil, insertion / removal is necessary for replacement in a trial-and-error process for the correction field to adjust for the field produced by the main field. Multiple replaceable backing plates for the spatial uniformity of the main magnetic field generated by the magnets, tolerances in the thickness of the backing plates themselves affect the distance between the shield and the transmitting coil, thus making it difficult to reduce the current tolerance

Abstract

For the purpose of providing a magnetic resonance imaging coil structure in which the tolerance of the distance between a shield and a transmission coil can be reduced to reduce the amount of frequency shift, in a magnetic resonance imaging coil structure 10 comprising a main magnetic field generating magnet 11, a gradient magnetic field generating coil 12, a shield 13, a magnetic field correcting shim plate 14 (14a, 14b, 14c, . . . ), a transmission coil 16 and a cover 17 stacked, the shield 13 and the transmission coil 16 are integrally formed with a joint portion 15 made of FRP that maintains a constant distance between the shield 13 and transmission coil 16.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a magnetic resonance imaging coil structure and a magnetic resonance imaging device using the coil structure, in particular, it relates to a main magnetic field generating magnet, a gradient magnetic field generating coil, a shield, a magnetic field correction pad and a transmitting A magnetic resonance imaging coil structure of a coil and a magnetic resonance imaging device using the coil structure. Background technique [0002] In recent years, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus (MRI apparatus) has attracted attention because it can provide tomographic images of an object such as a human body. In the MRI apparatus, the magnetic properties of the hydrogen nuclei (protons) used in the object are required, and therefore it is necessary to form a strong uniform and stable magnetic field. [0003] Therefore, a conventional MRI apparatus uses a superconducting magnet to generate a main magnetic field; however, in the p...
