Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0022] Embodiment one: the present embodiment provides a subject shape detection method for magnetic resonance. Through the application of the method, the operator of the magnetic resonance detection can more intuitively understand the shape size of the subject, can know whether the volume of the subject exceeds the scanning space of the magnet in the magnetic resonance device in time, brings convenience to the scanning work flow, and can effectively improve the detection work efficiency of the operator.

[0023] As shown in the embodiment one, the subject shape detection method for magnetic resonance comprises the following steps: Figure 1 ​S1: different types of subjects are classified according to the sizes of the subjects, and the required detection space for each type of subject is set; In this embodiment, the classification is directly according to the sizes of the subjects, the classification interval is flexible and adjustable, and the classification result is intuitive and easy to distinguish. Since different types of subjects correspond to different required detection spaces, when a subject belonging to a certain type of subject can enter the current detection space but cannot enter the next detection space, it means that the subject belongs to the type of subject corresponding to the current detection space, and the size of the subject can be determined according to the type of subject.

[0024] S2: define a plurality of critical lines in order from large to small to divide all required detection spaces and form an external shape detection range; In this embodiment, a plurality of critical lines are defined according to the size boundaries between different types of subjects, and correspondingly, the spaces divided by the plurality of critical lines correspond to detection spaces of different sizes, and form a suitable external shape detection range.

[0025] The types of subjects include at least first type of subject, second type of subject, third type of subject and fourth type of subject, and the sizes of the first type of subject, the second type of subject, the third type of subject and the fourth type of subject decrease in order.

[0026] The critical line of the size of the first type of subject and the second type of subject is the first critical line; the critical line of the size of the second type of subject and the third type of subject is the second critical line; the critical line of the size of the third type of subject and the fourth type of subject is the third critical line; the detection spaces corresponding to the first critical line, the second critical line and the third critical line decrease in order.

[0027] Here, taking a canine as an example for illustration: for example, the first type of subject is A1 type canine, the second type of subject is A2 type canine, the third type of subject is A3 type canine, and the fourth type of subject is A4 type canine. According to the classification of the size of the canine, a plurality of critical lines are defined according to the size boundaries between different types of subjects. For example: The first critical line is defined as the maximum space cross section of the magnet scanning space for the canine, i.e. the critical line of the size of the A1 type canine and the A2 type canine, which is expressed as a here; The second critical line is defined as the critical line of the size of the A2 type canine and the A3 type canine, which is expressed as b here; The third critical line is defined as the critical line of the size of the A3 type canine and the A4 type canine, which is expressed as c here.

[0028] S3: placing the subject in the shape detection range, and judging the type of the subject according to the body edge information of the subject that can be detected by any critical line, and the corresponding shape size and the required scanning space of the subject.

[0029] In the embodiment, if the first critical line can detect the body edge information of the subject, it indicates that the subject belongs to the first type of subject; if the first critical line cannot detect the body edge information of the subject, and the second critical line can detect the body edge information of the subject, it indicates that the subject belongs to the second type of subject; if the second critical line cannot detect the body edge information of the subject, and the third critical line can detect the body edge information of the subject, it indicates that the subject belongs to the third type of subject; if the third critical line cannot detect the body edge information of the subject, it indicates that the subject belongs to the fourth type of subject. After judging the type of the corresponding subject, the corresponding shape size and the required scanning space are also clear.

[0030] Here, the foregoing dog-shaped animal is taken as an example for illustration: if a can detect the body edge information of the subject dog-shaped animal, it indicates that the subject dog-shaped animal belongs to the A1 type of dog-shaped animal; if a cannot detect the body edge information of the subject dog-shaped animal, and b can detect the body edge information of the subject dog-shaped animal, it indicates that the subject dog-shaped animal belongs to the A2 type of dog-shaped animal; if b cannot detect the body edge information of the subject dog-shaped animal, and c can detect the body edge information of the subject dog-shaped animal, it indicates that the subject dog-shaped animal belongs to the A3 type of dog-shaped animal; if c cannot detect the body edge information of the subject dog-shaped animal, it indicates that the subject dog-shaped animal belongs to the A4 type of dog-shaped animal. Correspondingly, after judging the type of the subject dog-shaped animal, the corresponding shape size and the required scanning space are also clear. In addition, the information related to the shape size of each type of dog-shaped animal and the judgment result can be displayed to the operator in a visual manner.

[0031] Embodiment two: the embodiment also provides a subject shape detection device for magnetic resonance, which applies the subject shape detection method for magnetic resonance provided in embodiment one, effectively realizes the purpose of subject shape detection, and the operator of magnetic resonance detection can more intuitively understand the shape size of the subject, can timely know whether the volume of the subject exceeds the scanning space of the magnet in the magnetic resonance equipment, brings convenience to the scanning work flow, and improves the detection work efficiency of the operator.

[0032] As Figure 2The subject outer shape detection device for magnetic resonance shown in the figure, specifically includes: a detection platform, the detection platform includes a bed body 1, the upper surface of the bed body 1 is provided with a transverse accommodating groove 101; the accommodating groove 101 is used for accommodating a subject 100. An outer shape detection mechanism is arranged on the bed body 1; wherein the outer shape detection mechanism includes a plurality of arc-shaped detection pieces with different inner diameters, which are used for detecting the body edge information of the subject 100, and the plurality of arc-shaped detection pieces are sequentially distributed in size from large to small and correspond to the accommodating groove 101 to form a detection space.

[0033] Specifically, in the embodiment, the plurality of arc-shaped detection pieces are slidably arranged on the upper surface of the bed body 1 and are located above the accommodating groove 101, and the plurality of arc-shaped detection pieces are sequentially distributed in size from large to small and are located above the accommodating groove 101. In order, the inner diameter of the arc-shaped detection piece is in contact or touch with the subject, so as to sequentially obtain the body edge information of the subject, which is simple and intuitive.

[0034] Further, in the embodiment, the upper surface of the bed body 1 is also provided with two transverse sliding grooves 102, one of which is located on the front side of the accommodating groove 101, and the other is located on the rear side of the accommodating groove 101; two sliding grooves 102 are slidably arranged in the two sliding grooves 102, and the two ends of the plurality of arc-shaped detection pieces are connected to the two sliding blocks 103. The design of the double sliding grooves 102 and the double sliding blocks 103 facilitates the sizing of the plurality of arc-shaped detection pieces and facilitates the movement of the plurality of arc-shaped detection pieces together. Each arc-shaped detection piece is in the shape of an arch bridge.

[0035] Among them, the plurality of arc-shaped detection pieces are respectively a first limit sensing ring 2, a second limit sensing ring 3 and a third limit sensing ring 4, and the inner diameters of the first limit sensing ring 2, the second limit sensing ring 3 and the third limit sensing ring 4 are sequentially reduced. The inner diameter of the first limit sensing ring 2 is greater than that of the second limit sensing ring 3, and the inner diameter of the second limit sensing ring 3 is greater than that of the third limit sensing ring 4, and the first limit sensing ring 2, the second limit sensing ring 3 and the third limit sensing ring 4 are sequentially distributed in size from right to left. The inner diameter of the first limit sensing ring 2 is, for example, 60 cm, the inner diameter of the second limit sensing ring 3 is, for example, 40 cm, and the inner diameter of the third limit sensing ring 4 is, for example, 30 cm. The first limit sensing ring 2, the second limit sensing ring 3 and the third limit sensing ring 4 are all used for contact or touch sensing.

[0036] The subject 100 is placed in the accommodating groove 101 and located at the right side of the first limiting inductive ring 2, and then the first limiting inductive ring 2, the second limiting inductive ring 3 and the third limiting inductive ring 4 are driven to move horizontally towards the subject 100 by sliding the slider 103 in the sliding groove 102, and then whether the subject 100 enters which detection space and belongs to which type is determined according to whether the body edge of the subject 100 contacts any one of the first limiting inductive ring 2, the second limiting inductive ring 3 and the third limiting inductive ring 4 during the movement, so as to obtain the determination result.

[0037] For example, if the subject 100 cannot enter the first limiting inductive ring 2, i.e. the body edge of the subject 100 can contact or touch the first limiting inductive ring 2, it indicates that the subject 100 belongs to the first type; if the subject 100 can enter the first limiting inductive ring 2 but cannot enter the second limiting inductive ring 3, i.e. the body edge of the subject 100 can contact or touch the second limiting inductive ring 3, it indicates that the subject 100 belongs to the second type; if the subject 100 can enter the second limiting inductive ring 3 but cannot enter the third limiting inductive ring 4, i.e. the body edge of the subject 100 can contact or touch the third limiting inductive ring 4, it indicates that the subject 100 belongs to the third type; if the subject 100 can enter the third limiting inductive ring 4, it indicates that the subject 100 belongs to the fourth type; and so on. Each limiting inductive ring has a solid state, which is convenient for the operator to intuitively view.

[0038] It can be understood that the inductive positions on each limiting inductive ring can be arranged at any suitable position, and the inductive positions are arranged at any suitable position as long as they can timely and accurately inductively feedback the contact or touch.

[0039] The outer shape detection mechanism further comprises a controller (not shown in the figure) and a display screen (not shown in the figure), which are used to prompt the operator according to the detection information of the first limiting inductive ring 2, the second limiting inductive ring 3 and the third limiting inductive ring 4. The content of the prompt is, for example, the type of the subject 100, the corresponding outer shape size thereof, the required scanning space and the like. The controller (not shown in the figure) and the display screen (not shown in the figure) can be arranged at any suitable position on the bed body 1, and the embodiment is not limited in particular.

[0040] Embodiment three: the application further provides a subject outer shape detection device for magnetic resonance. The device applies the subject outer shape detection method for magnetic resonance provided in embodiment one, effectively realizes the purpose of subject outer shape detection, and the operator of magnetic resonance detection can more intuitively understand the outer shape size of the subject, can timely know whether the volume of the subject exceeds the scanning space of the magnet in the magnetic resonance equipment, brings convenience to the scanning work flow, and improves the detection work efficiency of the operator.

[0041] AsFigure 3 The subject outer shape detection device for magnetic resonance shown in the figure, specifically comprises: a detection platform, the detection platform comprises a bed body 1, the upper surface of the bed body 1 is provided with a transverse accommodating groove 101; the accommodating groove 101 is used for accommodating a subject 100. An outer shape detection mechanism is arranged on the bed body 1; wherein the outer shape detection mechanism comprises a plurality of arc-shaped detection pieces with different inner diameters, which are used for detecting the body edge information of the subject 100, and the plurality of arc-shaped detection pieces are sequentially and interval distributed according to the size of the inner diameter from large to small and correspond to the accommodating groove 101 to form a detection space.

[0042] Specifically, in the embodiment, the accommodating groove 101 has at least one side through the side wall of the bed body 1 and forms a side slot; the detection platform further comprises a vertical plate 5, the vertical plate 5 is located on one side of the bed body 1 and corresponds to the side slot, and the plurality of arc-shaped detection pieces are sequentially and interval distributed on the side surface of the vertical plate 5 facing the side slot from top to bottom according to the size of the inner diameter.

[0043] Further, in the embodiment, the plurality of arc-shaped detection pieces are respectively a first light arc detection point array 6, a second light arc detection point array 7 and a third light arc detection point array 8, and the inner diameters of the first light arc detection point array 6, the second light arc detection point array 7 and the third light arc detection point array 8 sequentially decrease. The inner diameter of the first light arc detection point array 6 is greater than that of the second light arc detection point array 7, and the inner diameter of the second light arc detection point array 7 is greater than that of the third light arc detection point array 8. The first light arc detection point array 6, the second light arc detection point array 7 and the third light arc detection point array 8 are interval distributed from top to bottom according to the size of the inner diameter. The inner diameter of the first light arc detection point array 6 is for example 60 cm, the inner diameter of the second light arc detection point array 7 is for example 40 cm, and the inner diameter of the third light arc detection point array 8 is for example 30 cm. The first light arc detection point array 6, the second light arc detection point array 7 and the third light arc detection point array 8 all emit arc-shaped light above the accommodating groove 101; it can be understood that the inner diameter of each light arc detection point array refers to the inner diameter of the arc-shaped light. Each light arc detection point array is in the shape of an arch bridge.

[0044] Among them, the light detection devices adopted by the first light arc detection point array 6, the second light arc detection point array 7 and the third light arc detection point array 8 all include any one of a laser emitter and its sensor, a lamp column and its sensor and a lamp bead and its sensor.

[0045] Among them, the outer shape detection mechanism further comprises a controller (not shown in the figure) and a display screen 9, which is used to give the operator a prompt according to the detection information of the first light arc detection point array 6, the second light arc detection point array 7 and the third light arc detection point array 8. The content of the prompt is for example the type of the subject 100, its corresponding outer shape size, the required scanning space and the like. For example, when the light beam hits the body edge of the subject 100, it will be reflected to the corresponding sensor, and the sensor will transmit the related information to the controller (not shown in the figure), and the controller (not shown in the figure) will display the corresponding prompt content on the display screen 9.

[0046] The display screen 9 is arranged on the vertical plate 5 and above the first arc detection point array 6, and serves as a visual prompt. The controller (not shown) can be arranged at any suitable position on the vertical plate 5.

[0047] When the subject 100 is placed in the accommodating groove 101 and located at the right side of the vertical plate 5, it can be determined which detection space the subject 100 enters and which type the subject 100 belongs to by whether the body edge of the subject 100 is sensed by any one of the first arc detection point array 6, the second arc detection point array 7 and the third arc detection point array 8, so as to obtain a judgment result.

[0048] For example, if the first arc detection point array 6 can detect the body edge of the subject 100, i.e. the size of the subject 100 exceeds the range defined by the first arc detection point array 6, it indicates that the subject 100 belongs to the first type; if the first arc detection point array 6 cannot detect the body edge of the subject 100, the detection function of the second arc detection point array 7 is enabled. If the second arc detection point array 7 can detect the body edge of the subject 100, i.e. the size of the subject 100 is between the ranges defined by the first arc detection point array 6 and the second arc detection point array 7, it indicates that the subject 100 belongs to the second type; if the second arc detection point array 7 cannot detect the body edge of the subject 100, the detection function of the third arc detection point array 8 is enabled. If the third arc detection point array 8 can detect the body edge of the subject 100, i.e. the size of the subject 100 is between the ranges defined by the second arc detection point array 7 and the third arc detection point array 8, it indicates that the subject 100 belongs to the third type; if the third arc detection point array 8 cannot detect the body edge of the subject 100, it indicates that the subject 100 belongs to the fourth type; and so on.

[0049] It should be understood that the above description can be improved or changed by those skilled in the art, and all such improvements and changes shall fall within the scope of the appended claims.
