[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0032] The technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the technical problem are described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0033] The serial numbers assigned to the components herein, such as "first", "second", etc., are only used to distinguish the objects described and do not have any order or technical meaning. The "connection" and "coupling" mentioned in this application, unless otherwise specified, include direct and indirect connections (couplings).

[0034] The present application provides a nuclear magnetic resonance system, such as Figure 1 As shown, the nuclear magnetic resonance system includes a processing component, a plurality of system radio frequency transmission channels and at least one radio frequency transmission coil, wherein the radio frequency transmission coil includes at least one radio frequency coil transmission channel.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, the processing component included in the nuclear magnetic resonance system may be a computer device, which may be but is not limited to various personal computers, laptops, smart phones, tablet computers, portable wearable devices, etc.

[0036] In order to facilitate the nuclear magnetic resonance scanning of patients, multiple system radio frequency transmission channels and at least one radio frequency transmission coil can be guaranteed in the nuclear magnetic resonance system, wherein the number of radio frequency transmission coils is not specifically limited in this application. In addition, the radio frequency transmission coil can be used to scan the patient's head, abdomen, legs and other parts, and the embodiment of this application does not specifically limit the role of the radio frequency transmission coil.

[0037] Each system radio frequency transmission channel can be plugged into any radio frequency coil transmission channel and can be unplugged from the plugged radio frequency coil transmission channel.

[0038] When performing a nuclear magnetic resonance scan on a patient, each radio frequency coil transmitting channel can be plugged into any system radio frequency transmitting channel, and the nuclear magnetic resonance scan of the patient is performed using the mutually plugged system radio frequency transmitting channels and radio frequency coil transmitting channels.

[0039] It should be noted that when performing an MRI scan on a patient, at least one RF transmitting coil can be selected according to the patient's condition and actual needs, wherein at least one RF coil transmitting channel in each RF transmitting coil is connected to the system RF transmitting channel.

[0040] After completing the nuclear magnetic resonance scanning of the patient, each radio frequency coil transmitting channel can be removed from the radio frequency transmitting channel of the system, so as to facilitate the storage of each radio frequency transmitting coil.

[0041] The processing component is used to calibrate the radio frequency transmission signal emitted by the total radio frequency transmission channel according to the amplitude gain and phase respectively corresponding to the system radio frequency transmission channel and the radio frequency coil transmission channel plugged into each other.

[0042] The total RF transmission channel is composed of a system RF transmission channel and a RF coil transmission channel which are plugged into each other.

[0043] Since each system RF transmission channel and RF coil transmission channel has corresponding amplitude gain and phase, when different system RF transmission channels are connected to different RF coil transmission channels, the amplitude gain and phase corresponding to the total RF transmission channel composed of the mutually plugged system RF transmission channels and RF coil transmission channels will be different. Therefore, in order to achieve circular polarization of RF transmission, it is necessary to calibrate the RF transmission signal emitted by the total RF transmission channel according to the amplitude gain and phase corresponding to the mutually plugged system RF transmission channels and RF coil transmission channels.

[0044] Specifically, the nuclear magnetic resonance system may also include a storage component, in which the amplitude gain and phase corresponding to each system radio frequency transmission channel and each radio frequency coil transmission channel are stored. The processing component may obtain the amplitude gain and phase corresponding to the mutually plugged system radio frequency transmission channel and radio frequency coil transmission channel from the storage component, and then calibrate the radio frequency transmission signal emitted by the total radio frequency transmission channel according to the amplitude gain and phase corresponding to the mutually plugged system radio frequency transmission channel and radio frequency coil transmission channel.

[0045] The above-mentioned nuclear magnetic resonance system includes a processing component, a plurality of system radio frequency transmission channels and at least one radio frequency transmission coil, wherein the radio frequency transmission coil includes at least one radio frequency coil transmission channel; each system radio frequency transmission channel can be plugged into any radio frequency coil transmission channel and can be unplugged from the plugged radio frequency coil transmission channel; the processing component is used to calibrate the radio frequency transmission signal emitted by the total radio frequency transmission channel according to the amplitude gain and phase respectively corresponding to the mutually plugged system radio frequency transmission channel and the radio frequency coil transmission channel; the total radio frequency transmission channel is composed of the mutually plugged system radio frequency transmission channel and the radio frequency coil transmission channel. The radio frequency coil transmission channel in the radio frequency transmission coil of the above-mentioned nuclear magnetic resonance system is plugged in and out with the system radio frequency transmission channel, so that at least one radio frequency transmission coil can be selected according to the patient's condition and actual needs, and at least one radio frequency coil transmission channel in the radio frequency transmission coil is connected to the system radio frequency transmission channel. Thereby, the flexibility of the use of the nuclear magnetic resonance system is improved, the nuclear magnetic resonance scanning workflow is optimized, and time is saved. In addition, the processing component in the nuclear magnetic resonance system calibrates the radio frequency transmission signal emitted by the total radio frequency transmission channel according to the amplitude gain and phase respectively corresponding to the mutually plugged system radio frequency transmission channel and the radio frequency coil transmission channel. Therefore, after the scanner connects the system RF transmission channel and the RF coil transmission channel according to the scanning requirements, the scanner can directly scan and use and realize the circular polarization of the RF transmission, thereby improving the transmission efficiency and image quality.

[0046] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the processing component is specifically used to calibrate the amplitude of the RF transmission signal emitted by the total RF transmission channel according to the amplitude gains respectively corresponding to the system RF transmission channel and the RF coil transmission channel that are plugged into each other.

[0047] Specifically, the nuclear magnetic resonance system may further include a storage component, in which the amplitude gain and phase corresponding to each system radio frequency transmission channel and each radio frequency coil transmission channel are stored. The processing component may obtain the amplitude gain corresponding to each of the system radio frequency transmission channels and radio frequency coil transmission channels that are plugged into each other from the storage component.

[0048] The processing component can calculate the amplitude of the RF transmission signal based on the first preset algorithm according to the user's requirement for the amplitude of the target RF transmission signal and the amplitude gains corresponding to the mutually plugged system RF transmission channel and the RF coil transmission channel, and obtain the target RF transmission signal. The first preset algorithm can include at least one of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, square, square root, and reciprocal operations.

[0049] The processing component is specifically used to calibrate the phase of the radio frequency transmission signal emitted by the total radio frequency transmission channel according to the phases respectively corresponding to the system radio frequency transmission channel and the radio frequency coil transmission channel that are plugged into each other.

[0050] Specifically, the nuclear magnetic resonance system may further include a storage component, in which the amplitude gain and phase corresponding to each system radio frequency transmission channel and each radio frequency coil transmission channel are stored. The processing component may obtain the phases corresponding to the system radio frequency transmission channels and radio frequency coil transmission channels that are plugged into each other from the storage component.

[0051] The processing component can calculate the phase of the RF transmission signal based on the second preset algorithm according to the user's phase requirement for the target RF transmission signal and the phases corresponding to the mutually plugged system RF transmission channel and the RF coil transmission channel, to obtain the target RF transmission signal. The second preset algorithm can include at least one of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, square, square root and reciprocal operations.

[0052] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the processing component may first correct the amplitude of the RF transmission signal and then correct the phase of the RF transmission signal; the processing component may first correct the phase of the RF transmission signal and then correct the amplitude of the RF transmission signal; the processing component may also correct the amplitude and phase of the RF transmission signal at the same time. The implementation of the present application does not specifically limit the order in which the processing component corrects the amplitude and phase of the RF transmission signal.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, the processing component is specifically used to: calibrate the amplitude of the RF transmission signal emitted by the total RF transmission channel according to the amplitude gain corresponding to the mutually plugged system RF transmission channel and the RF coil transmission channel; calibrate the phase of the RF transmission signal emitted by the total RF transmission channel according to the phase corresponding to the mutually plugged system RF transmission channel and the RF coil transmission channel. Thus, the RF transmission signal after amplitude calibration and phase calibration can achieve circular polarization of RF transmission, thereby improving transmission efficiency and image quality.

[0054] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the total RF transmission channel includes multiple processing components, which are specifically used to: obtain the amplitude-gain relationship between the RF transmission signals emitted by the multiple total RF transmission channels; calibrate the amplitude of the RF transmission signal emitted by each total RF transmission channel according to the amplitude-gain relationship and the amplitude gain corresponding to each total RF transmission channel.

[0055] Specifically, when multiple RF coil transmission channels are connected to multiple system RF transmission channels to form multiple total RF transmission channels, in order to ensure that the quality of images generated using the RF transmission signals emitted by each total RF transmission channel is high, users usually input the amplitude gain relationship between the RF transmission signals emitted by the multiple total RF transmission channels into the processing component according to actual conditions.

[0056] For example, the amplitude gain relationship between the RF transmission signals emitted by multiple total RF transmission channels can be: the amplitude gain between the RF transmission signals emitted by multiple total RF transmission channels is consistent; the amplitude gain relationship between the RF transmission signals emitted by multiple total RF transmission channels can also be: the amplitude gain ratio between total RF transmission channel 1 and total RF transmission channel 2 is 1:2. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the amplitude gain relationship between the RF transmission signals emitted by multiple total RF transmission channels.

[0057] Specifically, after receiving the amplitude-gain relationship between the RF transmission signals emitted by the multiple total RF transmission channels input by the user, the processing component can use the third preset algorithm to correct the RF transmission signals emitted by each total RF transmission channel according to the amplitude-gain relationship between the RF transmission signals emitted by the multiple total RF transmission channels and the amplitude gain corresponding to each total RF transmission channel, so as to obtain multiple target RF transmission signals, and then use the multiple target RF transmission signals to generate a target image. The third preset algorithm may include at least one of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, square, square root, and reciprocal operations.

[0058] Exemplarily, the number of total RF transmission channels is 2, and total RF transmission channel 1 is composed of system RF transmission channel 1 and RF coil transmission channel 1 in RF transmission coil A; total RF transmission channel 2 is composed of system RF transmission channel 2 and RF coil transmission channel 2 in RF transmission coil A. The amplitude gain corresponding to system RF transmission channel 1 is C1, and the amplitude gain corresponding to RF coil transmission channel 1 in RF transmission coil A is C2, then the amplitude gain corresponding to total RF transmission channel 1 is C1*C2; the amplitude gain corresponding to system RF transmission channel 2 is E1, and the amplitude gain corresponding to RF coil transmission channel 2 in RF transmission coil A is E2, then the amplitude gain corresponding to total RF transmission channel 2 is E1*E2.

[0059] Assume that the amplitude gain relationship between the radio frequency transmission signals emitted by the plurality of total radio frequency transmission channels can be: the amplitude gain ratio between the total radio frequency transmission channels 1 and 2 is 1:2.

[0060] Then the amplitude of the RF transmission signal emitted by the total RF transmission channel 1 is multiplied by the inverse of C1*C2, that is ; The amplitude of the RF transmission signal emitted by the total RF transmission channel 2 is multiplied by 2 times the inverse of E1*E2, that is, , so that the amplitude gain ratio between the RF transmission signals emitted by the total RF transmission channels 1 and 2 is 1:2.

[0061] The processing component is specifically used to: obtain the phase relationship between the radio frequency transmission signals emitted by multiple total radio frequency transmission channels; and calibrate the phase of the radio frequency transmission signal emitted by each total radio frequency transmission channel according to the phase relationship and the phase corresponding to each total radio frequency transmission channel.

[0062] Specifically, when multiple RF coil transmission channels are connected to the system RF transmission channel to form multiple total RF transmission channels, in order to ensure that the quality of images generated using the RF transmission signals emitted by each total RF transmission channel is high, users usually input the phase relationship between the RF transmission signals emitted by the multiple total RF transmission channels into the processing component according to actual conditions.

[0063] For example, the phase relationship between the RF transmission signals emitted by multiple total RF transmission channels can be: the phases of the RF transmission signals emitted by multiple total RF transmission channels are consistent; the phase relationship between the RF transmission signals emitted by multiple total RF transmission channels can also be: the phase difference between total RF transmission channel 1 and total RF transmission channel 2 is 90 degrees. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the phase relationship between the RF transmission signals emitted by multiple total RF transmission channels.

[0064] Specifically, after receiving the phase relationship between the RF transmission signals emitted by the multiple total RF transmission channels input by the user, the processing component can use the fourth preset algorithm to correct the RF transmission signals emitted by each total RF transmission channel according to the phase relationship between the RF transmission signals emitted by the multiple total RF transmission channels and the phases corresponding to each total RF transmission channel, so as to obtain multiple target RF transmission signals, and then use the multiple target RF transmission signals to generate a target image. The fourth preset algorithm may include at least one of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, square, square root and reciprocal operations.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present application, the total RF transmission channel includes multiple processing components, which are specifically used to: obtain the amplitude-gain relationship between the RF transmission signals emitted by the multiple total RF transmission channels; calibrate the amplitude of the RF transmission signal emitted by each total RF transmission channel according to the amplitude-gain relationship and the amplitude gain corresponding to each total RF transmission channel. Obtain the phase relationship between the RF transmission signals emitted by the multiple total RF transmission channels; calibrate the phase of the RF transmission signal emitted by each total RF transmission channel according to the phase relationship and the phase corresponding to each total RF transmission channel. The processing component obtains the amplitude-gain relationship and the phase relationship between the RF transmission signals emitted by the multiple total RF transmission channels, and calibrates the amplitude and phase of the RF transmission signal emitted by each total RF transmission channel according to the amplitude gain and phase corresponding to each total RF transmission channel. As a result, the RF transmission signal emitted by each total RF transmission channel after calibration not only meets the needs of users, but also realizes the circular polarization of RF transmission, thereby improving transmission efficiency and image quality.

[0066] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the processing component is specifically used to: when the amplitude gain relationship is that the amplitude gain of the RF transmission signals emitted by each total RF transmission channel is consistent, multiply the amplitude of each RF transmission signal by the corresponding amplitude calibration value.

[0067] The amplitude calibration value is the reciprocal of the product of the amplitude gains corresponding to the mutually plugged system RF transmission channels and RF coil transmission channels corresponding to each total RF transmission channel.

[0068] Specifically, when the amplitude gain relationship is that the amplitude gains of the RF transmission signals emitted by each total RF transmission channel are consistent, the processing component obtains the amplitude gains corresponding to each total RF transmission channel respectively, wherein the amplitude gains corresponding to each total RF transmission channel are the products of the amplitude gains corresponding to the mutually plugged system RF transmission channels and the RF coil transmission channels corresponding to each total RF transmission channel.

[0069] In order to ensure that the amplitudes of the RF transmission signals emitted by the plurality of total RF transmission channels are consistent, the processing component may multiply the amplitude of the RF transmission signal emitted by each total RF transmission channel by a corresponding amplitude calibration value.

[0070] Exemplarily, the number of total RF transmission channels is 2, and total RF transmission channel 1 is composed of system RF transmission channel 1 and RF coil transmission channel 1 in RF transmission coil A; total RF transmission channel 2 is composed of system RF transmission channel 2 and RF coil transmission channel 2 in RF transmission coil A. The amplitude gain corresponding to system RF transmission channel 1 is C1, and the amplitude gain corresponding to RF coil transmission channel 1 in RF transmission coil A is C2, then the amplitude gain corresponding to total RF transmission channel 1 is C1*C2; the amplitude gain corresponding to system RF transmission channel 2 is E1, and the amplitude gain corresponding to RF coil transmission channel 2 in RF transmission coil A is E2, then the amplitude gain corresponding to total RF transmission channel 2 is E1*E2.

[0071] Assume that the amplitude gain relationship between the radio frequency transmission signals emitted by the multiple total radio frequency transmission channels can be: the amplitude between the total radio frequency transmission channel 1 and the total radio frequency transmission channel 2 is consistent.

[0072] Then the amplitude of the RF transmission signal emitted by the total RF transmission channel 1 is multiplied by the inverse of C1*C2, that is ; The amplitude of the RF transmission signal emitted by the total RF transmission channel 2 is multiplied by the reciprocal of E1*E2, that is, , so that the amplitudes of the RF transmission signals emitted by the total RF transmission channel 1 and the total RF transmission channel 2 are consistent.

[0073] The processing component is specifically used to: when the phase relationship is that the phases of the RF transmission signals emitted by each total RF transmission channel are consistent, subtract the corresponding phase calibration value from the phase of each RF transmission signal, and the phase calibration value is the sum of the phases corresponding to the mutually plugged system RF transmission channels and RF coil transmission channels corresponding to each total RF transmission channel.

[0074] Specifically, when the phase relationship is that the phases of the RF transmission signals emitted by each total RF transmission channel are consistent, the processing component respectively obtains the phases corresponding to each total RF transmission channel, wherein the phases corresponding to each total RF transmission channel are the sum of the phases corresponding to the mutually plugged system RF transmission channels and the RF coil transmission channels corresponding to each total RF transmission channel.

[0075] In order to ensure that the phases of the RF transmission signals emitted by the multiple total RF transmission channels are consistent, the processing component may subtract the corresponding phase calibration value from the phase of the RF transmission signal emitted by each total RF transmission channel.

[0076] Exemplarily, the number of total RF transmission channels is 2, and total RF transmission channel 1 is composed of system RF transmission channel 1 and RF coil transmission channel 1 in RF transmission coil A; total RF transmission channel 2 is composed of system RF transmission channel 2 and RF coil transmission channel 2 in RF transmission coil A. The phase corresponding to system RF transmission channel 1 is D1, and the phase corresponding to RF coil transmission channel 1 in RF transmission coil A is D2, then the phase corresponding to total RF transmission channel 1 is D1+D2; the phase corresponding to system RF transmission channel 2 is F1, and the phase corresponding to RF coil transmission channel 2 in RF transmission coil A is F2, then the phase corresponding to total RF transmission channel 2 is F1+F2.

[0077] Assume that the phase relationship between the radio frequency transmission signals emitted by the multiple total radio frequency transmission channels can be: the phase between the total radio frequency transmission channel 1 and the total radio frequency transmission channel 2 is consistent.

[0078] The phase of the RF transmission signal emitted by the total RF transmission channel 1 is subtracted from the sum of D1+D2; the phase of the RF transmission signal emitted by the total RF transmission channel 2 is subtracted from the sum of F1+F2, so that the phases of the RF transmission signals emitted by the total RF transmission channel 1 and the total RF transmission channel 2 are consistent.

[0079] In the embodiment of the present application, when the amplitude gain relationship is that the amplitude gain and phase of the RF transmission signal emitted by each total RF transmission channel are consistent, the processing component multiplies the amplitude of each RF transmission signal by the corresponding amplitude calibration value, and subtracts the corresponding phase calibration value from the phase of each RF transmission signal. This ensures that the amplitude gain and phase of the RF transmission signal emitted by each total RF transmission channel are consistent, and realizes the correction of the RF during scanning, which not only meets the needs of users, but also realizes the circular polarization of RF transmission, thereby improving the transmission efficiency and image quality.

[0080] In an optional embodiment of the present application, before the processing component calibrates the RF transmission signal emitted by the total RF transmission channel according to the amplitude gain and phase respectively corresponding to the mutually plugged system RF transmission channel and the RF coil transmission channel, the processing component is further used to:

[0081] After each radio frequency coil transmission channel is connected with each system radio frequency transmission channel, each total radio frequency transmission channel generated is obtained.

[0082] Specifically, after each RF coil transmission channel is connected to each system RF transmission channel, each total RF transmission channel may be generated. The processing component may record and store the total RF transmission channel after each RF coil transmission channel is connected to each system RF transmission channel.

[0083] The FID signal or / and image corresponding to each total RF transmission channel is obtained, and the amplitude and phase corresponding to each FID signal or / and image are determined.

[0084] Specifically, the processing component can generate FID signals and / or images using the RF transmission signals transmitted by each total RF transmission channel. The processing component determines the amplitude and phase corresponding to each FID signal and / or image based on a preset model and / or algorithm.

[0085] The amplitude and phase corresponding to each FID signal and / or image are input into a preset algorithm model to obtain the amplitude gain and phase corresponding to each RF coil transmission channel and the amplitude gain and phase corresponding to each system RF transmission channel.

[0086] Specifically, the processing component inputs the amplitude and phase corresponding to each FID signal and / or image into a preset algorithm model, wherein the preset algorithm model may be a model based on machine learning, an algorithm model generated based on various mathematical operations, or a model based on deep learning, such as a neural network model.

[0087] The processing component inputs the amplitude and phase corresponding to each FID signal and / or image into a preset algorithm model to obtain the amplitude gain and phase corresponding to each RF coil transmission channel, as well as the amplitude gain and phase corresponding to each system RF transmission channel.

[0088] For example, an achievable algorithm model is used as an example for explanation. Assume that a nuclear magnetic resonance system includes two system RF transmission channels, namely system RF transmission channel 1 and system RF transmission channel 2, and an RF transmission coil, wherein the RF transmission coil includes two RF coil transmission channels, namely RF coil transmission channel 1 and RF coil transmission channel 2. Figure 2 shown.

[0089] In the first step, the system RF transmission channel 1 is connected to the RF coil transmission channel 1, and the system RF transmission channel 2 is connected to the RF coil transmission channel 2. Only the system RF transmission channel 1 and the RF coil transmission channel 1 are used for RF transmission, and magnetic resonance scanning is performed to obtain FID signals and / or images. The amplitude of the FID signal and / or image is recorded as A1, and the phase is recorded as P1. Only the system RF transmission channel 2 and the RF coil transmission channel 2 are used for RF transmission, and magnetic resonance scanning is performed to obtain FID signals and / or images. The amplitude of the FID signal and / or image is recorded as A2, and the phase is recorded as P2.

[0090] In the second step, the system RF transmission channel 1 is connected to the RF coil transmission channel 2, and the system RF transmission channel 2 is connected to the RF coil transmission channel 1. Only the system RF transmission channel 1 and the RF coil transmission channel 2 are used for RF transmission, and magnetic resonance scanning is performed to obtain FID signals and / or images. The amplitude of the FID signal and / or image is recorded as A3, and the phase is recorded as P3. Only the system RF transmission channel 2 and the RF coil transmission channel 1 are used for magnetic resonance scanning to obtain FID signals and / or images. The amplitude of the FID signal or image is recorded as A4, and the phase is recorded as P4.

[0091] Specifically, as shown in Table 1:

[0092]

[0093] Assume that the amplitude gain of system RF transmission channel 1 is C1, and the phase is D1; ​​the amplitude gain of system RF transmission channel 2 is C2, and the phase is D2; the amplitude gain of coil RF transmission channel 1 is E1, and the phase is F1; the amplitude gain of coil RF transmission channel 2 is E2, and the phase is F2.

[0094] Specifically, as shown in Table 2:

[0095]

[0096] If the amplitude and phase of the RF energy transmitted each time are consistent before entering the RF transmission channel after RF amplification, the amplitude of the image and / or FID signal is affected by the amplitude gain of the system RF transmission channel and the coil RF transmission channel, and it can be obtained that:

[0097] (1)

[0098] (2)

[0099] Using (1) x (2), we can get ,thereby, ;

[0100] Using (1) / (2), we can get

[0101] The phase of the image and / or FID signal is affected by the phase of the system RF transmission channel and the coil RF transmission channel, and it can be obtained:

[0102]

[0103] Using (3)+(4), we can get: ,thereby

[0104] Using (3)-(4), we can get: .

[0105] Take any one of the system RF transmission channels and any one of the RF transmission coil channels as the reference. In the embodiment of the present application, take the system RF transmission channel 1 and the RF coil transmission channel 1 as the reference, set the amplitude correction value of the system RF transmission channel 1 to 1, the phase correction value to 0, the amplitude correction value of the RF coil transmission channel 1 to 1, and the phase correction value to 0. The amplitude correction value of the system RF transmission channel 2 is , the phase correction value of the system RF transmission channel 2 is (P1-P2+P3-P4) / 2. The amplitude correction value of the RF coil transmission channel 2 is , the phase correction value of the RF coil transmitting channel 2 is (P1-P2-P3+P4) / 2.

[0106] In the embodiment of the present application, the processing component is also used to: obtain each total RF transmission channel generated after each RF coil transmission channel is connected to each system RF transmission channel; obtain the FID signal or / and image corresponding to each total RF transmission channel, and determine the amplitude and phase corresponding to each FID signal or / and image; input the amplitude and phase corresponding to each FID signal or / and image into a preset algorithm model to obtain the amplitude gain and phase corresponding to each RF coil transmission channel, as well as the amplitude gain and phase corresponding to each system RF transmission channel. As a result, when the amplitude and phase of the RF transmission signal emitted by each total RF transmission channel are adjusted, no additional tools are required, only the connection mode of the system RF transmission channel and the RF coil transmission channel is changed, and the magnetic resonance signals under different connection modes are obtained through magnetic resonance scanning, and the correction values ​​of the amplitude and phase of each system RF transmission channel and RF coil transmission channel can be calculated. This helps to reduce the hardware cost of system calibration and maintenance and improve the convenience of operation.
