[0053] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0054] The magnetic resonance scanning method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to, for example, Figure 1The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device shown is an example of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device. This MRI device includes a processor and a memory connected via a system bus. The memory stores a computer program, and the processor executes the computer program to perform the steps described in the method embodiments below. Optionally, the MRI device may also include a network interface, a display screen, and an input device. The processor of the MRI device provides computing and control capabilities. The memory of the MRI device includes a non-volatile storage medium and internal memory. The non-volatile storage medium stores an operating system and a computer program. The internal memory provides an environment for the operation of the operating system and computer program in the non-volatile storage medium. The network interface of the MRI device is used for communication with external terminals via a network connection. This application does not limit the specific form of the MRI device.

[0055] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a magnetic resonance scanning method is provided, which can be applied to... Figure 1 Taking the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device as an example, the following steps are included:

[0056] S201, Obtain usage information for at least one coil and display the usage information on the coil basic information display interface.

[0057] It should be noted that when performing an MRI scan on a subject, it is necessary to consider all parts of the subject. However, the physiological morphology and structure of each part of the subject are different. To obtain the MRI signal more accurately, a suitable MRI coil can be selected based on the subject's location, ensuring the coil is as close as possible to the subject's location to accurately obtain the MRI signal. Specifically, the MRI device acquires usage information for at least one coil and displays this information on the coil's basic information display interface. Optionally, the MRI device can acquire the usage information for at least one coil from its own memory, or it can receive coil information input by the user and acquire the coil's usage information from the received coil information. Optionally, the aforementioned coils may include a head and neck syndesmotic coil, a carotid artery coil, a spinal coil, and a body coil, etc.

[0058] S202, receiving information about a target coil generated in response to a setting action performed at the user interface; wherein the information about the target coil is determined based on the usage information displayed on the coil basic information display interface and the scanning part of the scanning object.

[0059] Specifically, the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device may include a display screen with a user interface. The user can operate the user interface, for example, by using a mouse electrically connected to the display to perform pre-defined actions such as clicking, circling, defining areas, and inputting information. This generates target coil information corresponding to the user-inputted information. The target coil information is determined based on the coil usage information displayed on the coil basic information display screen and the scanning area of ​​the target object. In other words, after acquiring the coil usage information displayed on the coil basic information display screen, the MRI device determines the target coil information to be used for scanning that area of ​​the target object, based on the displayed coil usage information and the scanning area of ​​the target object. Optionally, the target coil information may be the name of the target coil or its model number, etc.

[0060] In one embodiment, the user can input information about the scanning location, such as text information, at the user interface. This text information can be automatically matched with information displayed on the coil's basic information screen, and the coil with the highest matching degree can be set as the target coil. Alternatively, the user can input protocol information about the scanning location at the user interface. The magnetic resonance imaging device also includes a database that stores protocol information and historically selected coils from previous scans. The corresponding target coil information can be obtained by using a lookup table method based on the protocol information of the scanning location.

[0061] In one embodiment, a positioning image of the scanned object can be displayed on the user interface. This positioning image can be linked to multiple coils, and the user can obtain information about the corresponding target coil by selecting the area corresponding to the scanned part with the mouse. Optionally, the positioning image can be obtained by taking a picture of the scanned object with an external camera, or by performing a positioning scan on the scanned object using an magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device.

[0062] S203 controls the target coil to perform magnetic resonance scanning on the object being scanned.

[0063] Specifically, the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device controls the aforementioned target coil to perform MRI scanning on the aforementioned object. Optionally, the MRI device can send a scanning command to the target coil, thereby controlling the target coil to perform MRI scanning on the object. Optionally, the scanning command sent by the MRI device to the target coil may also include the intensity of the emitted radio frequency (RF) pulse, used to control the target coil to perform MRI scanning on the object with RF pulses of that intensity. Optionally, the MRI device can control the target coil to emit RF pulses and receive echo RF pulses to perform MRI scanning on the object, or it can control other RF transmitting devices to emit RF pulses, with the target coil receiving the echo RF pulses to perform MRI scanning on the object.

[0064] In the aforementioned magnetic resonance scanning method, the magnetic resonance device acquires usage information of at least one coil and displays this information on a coil basic information display interface. This interface includes a coil list display area and a coil usage information display area. This allows the user to quickly determine the target coil's information based on the coil usage information displayed on the interface and the scanning location of the target object. This improves the efficiency of the magnetic resonance device in receiving target coil information generated in response to a set action performed at the user interface, thereby increasing the efficiency of the magnetic resonance device in controlling the target coil to perform magnetic resonance scanning on the target object. In other words, this process improves the efficiency of performing magnetic resonance scanning on the target object.

[0065] In the scenario described above where the usage information of at least one coil is displayed on the coil basic information display interface, in one embodiment, the coil basic information display interface includes a coil list display area and a coil usage information display area; the coil list display area includes multiple coil names, which are used to characterize the category to which the coil belongs; the coil usage information display area includes one or more combinations of the coil unit name, coil exclusivity information, coil usage information in conjunction with other coils, and the placement information of the scanning object corresponding to the coil.

[0066] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, Figure 3 and Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the coil list display area. The diagram shows the name of at least one coil and the category to which each coil name belongs, such as... Figure 3 The coils displayed include a head and neck syndesmosis coil, a carotid artery coil, a spine coil, and a body coil. The scanning area corresponding to the carotid artery coil is the carotid artery. Figure 3 The scanning area corresponding to the spinal coil in the image is the spine; optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the coil list display area also includes an edit sub-area for adding and / or deleting coil names, for example, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the magnetic resonance imaging device can be triggered Figure 4 The "+" control key adds the coil name, triggered by... Figure 4 Use the "-" control key to delete the coil name.

[0067] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, Figure 5 and Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the coil usage information display area. The coil usage information display area includes the coil's unit name, coil exclusivity information, coil's connection information with other coils, and the placement information of the scanning object corresponding to the coil. For example, Figure 5This illustration uses the head-neck coil as an example. Figure 5 The coil usage information display area shows the unit name of the head-neck combined coil, the exclusive information of the head-neck combined coil, and the information on the connection between the head-neck combined coil and other coils. Figure 6 Continuing with the example of the head-neck combined coil, the diagram shows the placement information of the scanning object corresponding to the head-neck combined coil.

[0068] In this embodiment, the coil basic information display interface includes a coil list display area and a coil usage information display area. The coil list display area includes multiple coil names, with each coil name representing the category to which the coil belongs. The coil usage information display area includes one or more combinations of the coil unit name, coil exclusivity information, coil usage information in conjunction with other coils, and the placement information of the scanning object corresponding to the coil. In this way, the basic information display interface can intuitively display the basic information of each coil, making it convenient for users to obtain the basic information of the coil in a timely manner, thereby improving the scanning efficiency of users using magnetic resonance imaging equipment for scanning.

[0069] Optionally, the coil may be connected to or integrated with a memory capable of storing coil (partial receiving coil) status data, which may include calibration scan data, pre-scan data, and coil quality assurance (QA) data. In one embodiment, the coil basic information display interface may display QA data, which may include the coil's functional status. The coil's functional status can assist the MRI technician in determining the MRI coil's status and taking appropriate actions. Optionally, a digital chip serving as a memory is provided in the coil, recording the coil's historical usage location, cumulative usage count, cumulative scan time, and other historical usage status. Further, the aforementioned historical usage status is compared with the MRI system's local coil standard data to obtain the coil's functional status. The coil's functional status may be that the coil can continue to be used for scanning, is in a critical working state, or is damaged. Optionally, the coil can also communicate with a remote control center via a remote connection, enabling the control center to remotely monitor the coil.

[0070] In some scenarios, multiple coils may need to be used in series to scan the scanning area of ​​the object. In such scenarios, it is also necessary to display the coil information used in series. Based on the above embodiments, in one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the above method also includes:

[0071] S701, obtain coil connection information.

[0072] Specifically, the MRI device acquires coil coupling information. Optionally, the coil coupling information may include custom coil coupling information and pre-set coupling coil priority information. For example, the following example illustrates the use of coupling coil priority information. Suppose the system simultaneously inserts body coil-12 and spinal coil-32, and these two coils have overlapping physical locations. Previously, the MRI device randomly selected coils at the same physical location during automatic coil selection, potentially choosing either body coil-12 or spinal coil-32, requiring the user to frequently switch between selected coils. However, by setting coupling coil priorities, the device can directly select the coupling coil with the highest priority by acquiring the coil coupling information, avoiding the need for the user to repeatedly switch between selected coils.

[0073] S702 displays the coil connection information on the coil connection setting interface.

[0074] Specifically, the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device displays the coil coupling information it acquires on the coil coupling settings interface. Optionally, such as... Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the coil pairing settings interface includes a pairing coil settings area, which includes the name of each pairing coil and the identifier of the pairing priority coil. Figure 9 Coils marked with an asterisk above the drop-down menu are priority coils. Clicking the drop-down button will display a list of available coils. It's important to note that this list includes all coils available on the MRI machine used for the MRI scan. Figure 9 After selecting coils from both dropdown menus, the "OK" and "Cancel" buttons on the right will be highlighted for the user to confirm or cancel the previous operation. Clicking "OK" will display the two coils in the dropdown menus at the bottom of the table. Clicking "Cancel" will clear the two dropdown menus for future settings. Optionally, the coil pairing settings interface also allows you to set the priority for exclusive and non-exclusive coil pairings, as well as for exclusive and non-exclusive coil pairings. In a regular scanning workflow, once the MRI machine recognizes the exclusive coil, other non-exclusive coils will be grayed out and cannot be selected for scanning. If a non-exclusive coil is set as the priority coil in a scenario involving exclusive and non-exclusive coil pairings, the non-exclusive coil can also be used normally, while exclusive coils not set for pairing will continue with the previous regular scanning workflow.

[0075] In this embodiment, the magnetic resonance device acquires coil coupling information and displays the acquired coil coupling information on the coil coupling setting interface. This allows for a direct and intuitive display of the coil coupling information, facilitating timely acquisition of coil coupling information and thus improving the efficiency of acquiring coil coupling information.

[0076] In some scenarios, hospital facilities often have their own protocol packages, and the protocols within these packages are all bound to a coil. When the coil needs upgrading or the facility requires research projects, it's necessary to replace the coils in batches within the protocol package. Based on the above embodiments, in one embodiment, such as... Figure 10 As shown, the above method also includes:

[0077] S1001, Obtain the replacement coil information corresponding to the target protocol.

[0078] Specifically, the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device acquires the replacement coil information corresponding to the target protocol. For example, such as... Figure 11 As shown, Figure 11 The fast spin echo sequence (fse__2d), spin echo (se_me), and gradient echo (gre__2d) are the target protocols, which the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device can use. Figure 11 On the left side of the interface shown, select the target protocol corresponding to the coil to be replaced, and on the right side, determine the replacement coil information corresponding to the target coil.

[0079] S1002, based on the replacement coil information corresponding to the target protocol, select the target protocol control key and the replacement coil control key corresponding to the target protocol in the coil protocol setting interface, and execute the replacement operation.

[0080] In some scenarios, due to the influence of scan duration, historical usage duration, and the state of the coil itself, the target coil corresponding to the target protocol may not obtain the optimal received signal when applied to the current scan. In such cases, it is necessary to obtain the signal from a replacement coil. In one embodiment, as in... Figure 10 The following steps can be performed before the method shown:

[0081] Before the target protocol is executed, a calibration scan and / or a pre-scan are performed, and the calibration data corresponding to the calibration scan and / or the pre-scan data corresponding to the pre-scan are obtained using the target coil corresponding to the target protocol.

[0082] The reception status of the target coil is determined based on calibration data and / or pre-scan data. The reception status may include conforming to or not conforming to the standard.

[0083] When the receiving status is not in compliance with the standard, a coil replacement instruction is generated.

[0084] Optionally, the calibration data can be frequency calibration data or voltage calibration data; the pre-scan data can be coil positioning information, noise pre-scan information, homogenization correction information, etc. Optionally, the receiving status of the target coil can be obtained by comparing the calibration data and / or pre-scan data with a set threshold.

[0085] Specifically, the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device selects the target protocol control key and the corresponding replacement coil control key in the coil protocol settings interface based on the replacement coil information corresponding to the target protocol, and performs the replacement operation. Optionally, such as... Figure 11 As shown, the coil protocol settings interface includes a coil replacement button. Figure 11 The "One-Click Coil Replacement" option in the interface shown indicates that when the magnetic resonance imaging device detects that the coil replacement button has been triggered, it performs the aforementioned replacement operation, replacing the original coil with the replacement coil corresponding to the target protocol.

[0086] In this embodiment, the magnetic resonance device can quickly select the target protocol control key and the target protocol-corresponding replacement coil control key in the coil protocol setting interface by acquiring the replacement coil information corresponding to the target protocol. This enables the replacement operation to be performed quickly and improves the efficiency of replacing the replacement coil information corresponding to the target protocol.

[0087] In some scenarios, magnetic resonance coils may have multiple coils with similar functions. Based on the above embodiments, such as... Figure 12 As shown, the above method also includes:

[0088] S1201, obtain the equivalent coil information corresponding to the coil.

[0089] Specifically, the MRI machine acquires the equivalent coil information corresponding to the coil. It's important to note that in some scenarios, if the currently selected protocol sets the coil to head coil-24, while the coil inserted on the scanning bed is head coil-32, according to the conventional workflow, the coil column on the protocol parameter card will be marked with a red box, indicating that the set coil does not match the coil currently recognized by the system. In this case, the inserted coil will not be selected, and the user needs to manually select the coil to start the scan. By grouping coils with similar functions together, when this scenario occurs, the MRI machine will determine whether the currently inserted coil is the equivalent coil of the coil set in the protocol. If so, the software will automatically select the coil inserted on the scanning bed, eliminating the need for manual intervention and simplifying the user's operation. Optionally, the MRI machine can receive equivalent coil information input by the user, obtain the equivalent coil information of each coil displayed on the coil basic information display interface, or retrieve the equivalent coil information of each coil displayed on the coil basic information display interface from the MRI machine's own memory.

[0090] S1202 displays the equivalent coil information corresponding to the coil on the equivalent coil setting interface.

[0091] Specifically, the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device displays the equivalent coil information corresponding to the acquired coil on the equivalent coil setting interface. The displayed equivalent coil information can be as follows: Figure 13 As shown. Optionally, the equivalent coil setting interface includes an equivalent coil adjustment area, where the magnetic resonance device can adjust the equivalent coil information corresponding to each coil. Optionally, as... Figure 13 As shown, the equivalent coil adjustment area includes an add button and a delete button. For example, the add button in the equivalent coil adjustment area can be... Figure 13 The "+" button shown, and the delete button included in the equivalent coil adjustment area, can be... Figure 13 The "-" button shown in the image is used to control the addition of equivalent coil information corresponding to the coil, and the delete button is used to control the deletion of equivalent coil information corresponding to the coil.

[0092] In this embodiment, the magnetic resonance device acquires the equivalent coil information corresponding to the coil and displays the equivalent coil information on the equivalent coil setting interface. It can determine whether the two coils are equivalent coils when the coil set by the currently selected protocol is different from the coil inserted on the scanning bed. If they are equivalent coils, the coil inserted on the scanning bed will be selected for scanning without switching coils, thereby improving the scanning efficiency.

[0093] It should be understood that, although Figure 2-13 The steps in the flowchart are shown sequentially as indicated by the arrows, but these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified herein, there is no strict order in which these steps are executed, and they can be performed in other orders. Figure 2-13 At least some of the steps in the process may include multiple steps or multiple stages. These steps or stages are not necessarily completed at the same time, but may be executed at different times. The execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but may be executed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least some of the steps or stages in other steps.
