The same reference numerals in the accompanying drawings represent elements with the same or similar functions. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless otherwise specified.

[0039] The word “exemplary” is used exclusively herein to mean “serving as an example, example, or illustration.” Any embodiment described herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments.

[0040] The term "and / or" herein is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there may be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the term "at least one" herein represents any combination of at least two of any one or more of a plurality of. For example, including at least one of A, B, and C can represent any one or more elements selected from the set consisting of A, B, and C. In the description of the present disclosure, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0041] It should be understood that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the claims, specifications and drawings of the present disclosure are used to distinguish different objects rather than to describe a specific order. The terms "include" and "comprise" used in the specifications and claims of the present disclosure indicate the presence of the described features, wholes, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, elements, components and / or their collections.

[0042] In addition, in order to better illustrate the present disclosure, numerous specific details are given in the following specific embodiments. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present disclosure can also be implemented without certain specific details. In some examples, methods, means, components and circuits well known to those skilled in the art are not described in detail in order to highlight the subject matter of the present disclosure.

[0043] It should be noted that the medical devices involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure may include implantable electrical stimulation systems, such as: implantable cardiac pacemakers, implantable neural stimulators, implantable muscle stimulators, deep brain stimulators (DBS) or other implantable electrical stimulation systems; of course, the medical devices involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure may also include any medical device in the art that is expected to evaluate the safe use conditions under the radio frequency magnetic field of the magnetic resonance environment, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

[0044] It should be understood that the radio frequency magnetic fields in different magnetic resonance environments have different frequency magnitudes, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the frequency magnitude of the radio frequency magnetic field in the magnetic resonance environment.

[0045] For example, in order to better understand the RF induced voltage test device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the embodiment of the present disclosure takes the DBS system as an example and provides Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an application scenario of a radio frequency induced voltage test device is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, a test environment is built in a magnetic resonance scene, including an MRI scanning room (i.e., inside the magnetic resonance environment) and an MRI operation room (i.e., outside the magnetic resonance environment to prevent the host computer 07 from being interfered by strong magnetic fields). A sodium chloride NaCl solution can be poured into the human body model 01 to form a human body model 01 that simulates the electromagnetic parameters of the human body.

[0046] Considering that the current mainstream medical magnetic resonance imaging devices are 1.5T main magnetic field MRI and 3.0T main magnetic field MRI, under the action of the main magnetic field, the hydrogen nuclei in the human body will be arranged along the direction of the magnetic field, with some arranged in the direction of the magnetic field and the other part arranged in the direction of the anti-magnetic field, forming a net magnetization vector. At the same time, the hydrogen nuclei will rotate around the main magnetic field under the action of the external magnetic field. The frequency of this rotation is called the Larmor frequency, and the formula is f 0 =γB 0 , where γ is the magnetic gyroscopic ratio of the proton. For hydrogen nuclei, the value of γ is about 42.58MHz / T, B 0 is the main magnetic field strength, f 0 is the resonant frequency of a particular spin. The frequency of the RF magnetic field is the frequency of the electromagnetic waves used to excite the hydrogen nuclei. In an MRI system, a specific frequency of RF pulses is emitted to cause the hydrogen nuclei to transition from a low energy state to a high energy state. To cause this transition of the hydrogen nuclei, the frequency of the RF pulses must match the Larmor frequency, i.e., f RF =f 0 , so that the RF energy can be absorbed by the hydrogen nuclei, causing their magnetic moments to flip, so that the hydrogen nuclei release energy and return to the ground state after the RF pulse stops. The energy released during this period is detected by the receiving coil and used to reconstruct the image. Therefore, Figure 1The radio frequency frequency in the magnetic resonance environment where the radio frequency induced voltage testing device 00 shown in FIG. 1 is located includes but is not limited to the radio frequency frequency corresponding to the main magnetic field of 1.5T or 3.0T.

[0047] in, Figure 1 The DBS system placed in a human body model 01 in a medium magnetic resonance environment includes a long wire 02 of an electrode and a pulse generator 03 connected to the long wire 02. The excitation of the radio frequency magnetic field in the magnetic resonance environment can induce the long wire 02 to generate a radio frequency induced voltage, and the radio frequency induced voltage generated on the long wire 02 will be injected into the pulse generator 03. The input terminal "-" of the radio frequency induced voltage measuring device 00 proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure is connected to the housing of the pulse generator 03, and the input terminal "+" is connected to the feedthrough of the pulse generator 03, so that the radio frequency induced voltage measuring device 00 can be used to measure the target radio frequency induced voltage signal of the radio frequency induced voltage injected into the pulse generator 03 (that is, the radio frequency induced voltage generated on the long wire 02).

[0048] Among them, the radio frequency induced voltage measuring device 00 can further convert the measured target radio frequency induced voltage signal into a transistor-transistor logic level (Transistor-Transistor Logic, TTL) signal, and then convert the TTL signal into an optical fiber signal. The optical fiber signal is transmitted from the optical fiber 04 to the optical fiber signal adapter module 05 in the MRI operating room. The optical fiber signal adapter module 05 converts the optical fiber signal into a TTL signal, and then converts the TTL signal into a serial port signal. The serial port signal is then transmitted to the host computer 07 through a universal serial bus (Universal Serial Bus, USB) extension cable 06, so that the host computer 07 obtains the serial port signal, thereby realizing communication between the host computer 07 and the slave computer (i.e., the radio frequency induced voltage measuring device 00).

[0049] It should be understood that the above Figure 1 An application scenario of the RF induced voltage test device shown is a possible implementation method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. In fact, those skilled in the art can build corresponding test environments for different medical devices based on the RF induced voltage test device proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure, as long as the RF induced voltage test device proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be used to measure the RF induced voltage generated by the RF magnetic field on the medical device in the magnetic resonance environment.

[0050] The following Figures 2 to 15 The radio frequency induced voltage testing device proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure is introduced in detail.

[0051] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a radio frequency induced voltage testing device 00 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2As shown, the device 00 includes: a signal acquisition module 10 and a radio frequency measurement module 11.

[0052] The signal acquisition module 10 is used to collect the RF induced voltage generated by the RF magnetic field on the medical device (such as the wire in the medical device) in the magnetic resonance environment, obtain the original RF induced voltage signal and input it to the RF measurement module 11.

[0053] In one possible implementation, Figure 3 As shown, the signal acquisition module 10 may include: a non-magnetic radio frequency probe 101, a radio frequency connecting line 102 and a metal sheet 103;

[0054] The non-magnetic radio frequency probe 101 is used to collect the original radio frequency induced voltage signal, and the non-magnetic radio frequency probe is connected to the position where the radio frequency induced voltage flows into the medical device;

[0055] The RF connection line 102 is used to transmit the original RF induced voltage signal collected by the non-magnetic RF probe 101 to the RF measurement module 11 and is connected to the ground terminal of the device 00;

[0056] The metal sheet 103 is used to be attached to the housing of the medical device and is connected to the ground terminal of the device 00 through the radio frequency connection line 102 .

[0057] Among them, those skilled in the art can also design and manufacture the non-magnetic RF probe 101 according to actual needs (such as the hardware structure of the medical device, etc.). The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the structure, material and shape of the non-magnetic RF probe 101. For example, it can be a non-magnetic spring probe as long as it can realize the function of collecting the original RF induced voltage signal of the RF induced voltage on the medical device.

[0058] For example, Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of a non-magnetic radio frequency probe 101 is shown, Figure 4As shown, the non-magnetic RF probe 101 includes a probe head 1011, a RF core 1012, a support layer 1013 and a connector 1014, wherein the probe head 1011 is used to be inserted into a position in the medical device where a RF induced voltage flows (for example, the feedthrough of the pulse generator 03 in the above-mentioned DBS system, specifically, it can be a channel of a long wire 02 connecting electrodes in the feedthrough), the RF core 1012 is used to transmit the original RF induced voltage signal collected by the probe head 1011, the support layer 1013 is used to protect and support the probe head 1011 and the RF core 1012, one end of the support layer 1013 is connected to the probe head 1011, and the other end is connected to the connector 1014, and the connector 1014 is used to be connected to the RF connecting line 102. The support layer 1013 may be a hollow bolt with an external thread, the middle of the hollow bolt passes through the RF wire core 1012, and the external thread may be fixed in a fixing frame, so that the entire non-magnetic RF probe 101 is fixed in position when collecting the original RF induced voltage signal. The connector 1014 may use, for example, an SMA (SubMiniature version A) connector, and of course, any other known connection method in the art may be used, which is not limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0059] Alternatively, if Figure 5 As shown, the RF connecting line 102 may include an RF core 1021, a ground shielding layer 1022 and a protective layer 1023 from the inside to the outside, the RF core 1011 is used to transmit the original RF induced voltage signal collected by the non-magnetic RF probe 101 to the RF measurement module 11, the ground shielding layer 1022 is used to shield the magnetic resonance environment and is connected to the ground end of the device 00, and the protective layer 1023 is used to protect the ground shielding layer 1022 and the RF core 1011; the metal sheet 103 is connected to the ground shielding layer 1022 through an extension wire 1024; wherein, two connectors 1025 and a connector 1026 may also be provided at both ends of the RF connecting line 102, one connector 1025 may be connected to the non-magnetic RF probe 101, and the other connector 1026 may be connected to the RF measurement module 11, so as to realize the transmission of the original RF induced voltage signal collected by the non-magnetic RF probe 101 to the RF measurement module 11.

[0060] Exemplarily, the connectors 1025 and 1026 at both ends of the RF connecting line 102 can use SMA connectors, and the connectors 1025 and 1026 can both be SMA female connectors, so that an SMA male connector can be provided on the RF measurement module 11, and the connector 1014 on the above-mentioned non-magnetic RF probe 101 can be an SMA male connector, thereby, the SMA female connector 1026 on the RF connecting line 102 can be connected via the SMA male connector on the RF measurement module 11, and the SMA female connector 1025 on the RF connecting line 102 can be connected to the SMA male connector 1014 on the above-mentioned non-magnetic RF probe 101; based on this, by The probe head 1011 of the RF probe 101 is connected to the position where the RF induced voltage flows into the medical device, so that the collected original RF induced signal can be input into the RF measurement module 11, wherein the protective layer 1023 plays a protective role outside the ground shielding layer 1022, and the ground shielding layer 1022 is responsible for shielding the external magnetic resonance environment interference and is connected to the GND end of the device 00. The ground shielding layer 1022 is led out through the metal sheet 103, and the metal sheet 103 is connected to the outer shell of the medical device. The RF core 1011 in the RF connecting line 102 can be connected to the probe head 1011 through the SMA male connector via the RF core 1012 in the non-magnetic RF probe 101.

[0061] Optionally, the non-magnetic RF probe 101 and the RF measurement module 11 can be directly connected by a wire, and connected by the wire to a metal sheet 103 attached to the outer shell of the medical device, wherein the conductive area can be increased by attaching the metal sheet 103 to the outer shell of the medical device; thus, the above-mentioned RF connecting line 102 can also include a first connecting wire and a second connecting wire; wherein the non-magnetic RF probe 101 can be connected to the RF measurement module 11 via the first connecting wire; the metal sheet 103 can be connected to the ground terminal of the device 00 via the second connecting wire.

[0062] It should be understood that in order to ensure the safety of the entire device 00, a ground terminal (GND terminal) is usually set in the device 00, and the RF connection line 102 can also be connected to the ground terminal of the device 00, and the metal sheet 103 attached to the medical device housing can be connected to the ground terminal of the device 00 through the RF connection line 102, which is equivalent to using the metal sheet 103 as the negative input terminal and the non-magnetic RF probe 101 as the positive input terminal, thereby realizing the RF induced voltage collected on the medical device by the signal acquisition module 10. Among them, the metal sheet 103 can be made of metal materials known in the art, such as copper foil, copper sheet, etc. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the shape, size and material of the metal sheet 103, as long as it can achieve the desired function.

[0063] It should be noted that the various implementation methods of the signal acquisition module 10 provided in the above-mentioned embodiments of the present disclosure are some possible implementation methods provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. In fact, those skilled in the art can adopt RF wires and RF devices known in the art to make the signal acquisition module 10 into a standardized module, so as to realize the connection between the signal acquisition module 10 and the medical device and the signal acquisition and signal transmission functions of the signal acquisition module 10, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

[0064] like Figure 2 As shown, the radio frequency measurement module 11 includes: an attenuation circuit 110, a resonance circuit 111 and a detection circuit 112;

[0065] The attenuation circuit 110 is used to perform power attenuation on the input original radio frequency induced voltage signal to obtain a first radio frequency signal;

[0066] The resonant circuit 111 is used to select the frequency of the first radio frequency signal to obtain a second radio frequency signal in a specified frequency band, and the specified frequency band matches the frequency of the radio frequency magnetic field;

[0067] The detection circuit 112 is used to detect the second radio frequency signal to obtain a target radio frequency induced voltage signal.

[0068] Considering that there may be impedance mismatch between the attenuation circuit 110 and the resonant circuit 111 and between the resonant circuit 111 and the detection circuit 112 in actual situations, in a possible implementation, Figure 6 As shown, the radio frequency measurement module 11 may also include:

[0069] A first impedance matching circuit 113, used for performing impedance matching between the attenuation circuit 110 and the resonance circuit 111, and transmitting the first RF signal to the resonance circuit 111;

[0070] The second impedance matching circuit 114 is used to perform impedance matching between the resonant circuit 111 and the detection circuit 112 , and transmit the second RF signal to the detection circuit 112 .

[0071] Among them, those skilled in the art can use the impedance matching circuit design method known in the art to design the first impedance matching circuit 113 and the second impedance matching circuit 114, as long as they can achieve the impedance matching function required to be achieved, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this. For example, if the impedance of the detection circuit 112 is 50 ohms, the impedance of the resonant circuit 111 can be matched to 50 ohms and matched with the detection circuit 112 through the second impedance matching circuit 114; wherein, the reflection of the RF signal can be reduced through impedance matching.

[0072] Among them, the attenuation circuit 110 can, for example, adopt a two-stage π-type attenuator known in the art, which is composed of a high-power thick film resistor and a microstrip line. The high-power original RF induced voltage signal is attenuated after passing through the attenuator and flows into the subsequent circuit; or, the attenuation circuit 110 can also use an RF transformer, which is composed of an RF coil, a transformer frame, etc., and is matched with an adjustable capacitor and an inductor, and can also have a resonant frequency selection function, which is not limited to the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0073] The resonant circuit 111 is composed of a radio frequency winding inductor and a capacitor. The composition of the resonant circuit 111 may be different for radio frequency magnetic fields of different frequency bands, but the function is to select the frequency band signal corresponding to the frequency of the radio frequency magnetic field and filter out other frequency band signals. Of course, other resonant circuits known in the art may also be used, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

[0074] Among them, Figure 7 As shown, the detection circuit 112 may include, for example:

[0075] The detection unit 1121 is used to detect the second radio frequency signal to obtain a first envelope signal, where the first envelope signal is a signal with a frequency below the radio frequency band;

[0076] The follower unit 1122 is used to provide a DC bias voltage to the detector unit 1121 based on the second radio frequency signal to offset the conduction voltage in the detector unit 1121;

[0077] The notch unit 1123 is used to attenuate the signal amplitude of the second RF signal flowing into the follower unit 1122, and to input the DC bias voltage output by the follower unit 1123 into the detector unit 1121;

[0078] The filtering unit 1124 is used to perform high-frequency filtering on the first envelope signal output by the detection unit 1121 to obtain a second envelope signal;

[0079] The voltage dividing unit 1125 is used to divide the second envelope signal output by the filtering unit 1124 in equal proportion to reduce the amplitude of the second envelope signal to obtain a target radio frequency induced voltage signal.

[0080] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can design a specific circuit structure of the detection circuit 112 according to the functions of each unit in the detection circuit 112, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this. Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the circuit structure of a detection circuit 112 is shown, as shown in FIG. Figure 8As shown, the detection diode D1, the capacitor C1 and the resistor R2 constitute a detection unit 1121 (also referred to as a basic diode detection circuit); the resistor R2 and the resistor R4 constitute a voltage divider unit 1125, which is responsible for proportionally dividing the low-frequency second envelope signal to reduce the amplitude; the capacitor C1 and the resistor R2 constitute a filter unit 1124 (also referred to as an RC filter circuit), which is responsible for filtering out the high-frequency noise in the first envelope signal after detection by the detection unit 1121 to improve the signal purity; the operational amplifier constitutes a follower unit 1122, wherein the first terminal of the operational amplifier outputs a DC bias voltage, the second terminal inputs the second RF signal, and the third terminal The forward voltage of the input diode D2 is connected, the 4th terminal is connected to the negative power supply voltage (VCC-), and the 8th terminal is connected to the positive power supply voltage (VCC+); the diode D2 and D1 are the same Schottky diodes, and the diode D2 is also connected to the resistor R3 and the capacitor C2 to jointly generate the forward voltage of the diode D2; the capacitor C3 and the inductor L1 constitute a notch unit 1123 (also called an LC notch filter), and the DC bias voltage output by the operational amplifier is connected to the input end of the detection diode D1 through the notch unit 1123 to provide a DC bias voltage to offset the forward voltage of the diode D1, so that the diode detection unit 1121 is zero biased. Among them, since the voltage of the second RF signal input to the diode D1 end may be greater than the power supply voltage of the operational amplifier and cause damage to the operational amplifier, by adding a trap unit 1123 composed of a capacitor C3 and an inductor L1, the trap unit 1123 can have a larger impedance at the frequency of the RF magnetic field (such as 64MHz or 128MHz, etc.), but the impedance to the DC signal is approximately 0, thereby attenuating the high-power second RF signal flowing into the operational amplifier, and allowing the DC bias voltage output by the cloud amplifier to pass losslessly.

[0081] It is understandable that the above Figure 8 The circuit structure of each circuit in the detection circuit 112 shown is a possible implementation method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. In fact, under the guidance of the embodiment of the present disclosure, those skilled in the art can design the specific circuit structure of the above detection circuit 112 according to actual needs, as long as the detection function they need to achieve can be achieved. For example, in addition to using a diode for detection, the detection unit 1121 in the above detection circuit 112 can also use a transistor to achieve voltage doubling detection or full-wave detection, and can also combine an operational amplifier with a diode or a transistor to achieve precise linear half-wave detection and precise linear full-wave detection, etc., and the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit this. The detection circuit 112 can be used to detect the input second RF signal into a low-frequency target RF induced voltage signal, so that the amplitude of the input second RF signal can be as low as 0V.

[0082] It can be known that the original RF induced voltage signal input into the RF measurement module 11 may be, for example, Figure 9aor Figure 9b Any of the two signals shown, where Figure 9a shows the original RF induced voltage signal of a square wave envelope input mode, Figure 9b shows the original RF induced voltage signal of a sinc envelope input mode, Figure 9a and Figure 9b The pulse width, period and peak value of the signal are also shown; it should be understood that the shape of the original RF induced voltage signal is determined by the scanning sequence in the MRI scene, for example. Figure 9a and Figure 9b The forms shown are some possible forms provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. The original RF induced voltage signal may also be in any other form, and the amplitude may range from 0 volts to tens of volts. However, the target RF induced voltage signal output by the RF measurement module 11 may be a detection envelope form of the input original RF induced voltage signal. Therefore, the output target RF induced voltage signal may also be called a detection signal. For example, Fig.10a Show Figure 9a The target RF induced voltage signal in the square wave envelope output mode is obtained by processing the original RF induced voltage signal. Fig.10b Show Figure 9b The target RF induced voltage signal in the sinc envelope output mode is obtained by processing the original RF induced voltage signal.
