[0032] This disclosure provides a method for the acceptance of a medical device department room, comprising: injecting a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) gas probe into the space to be evaluated using a gas probe injector to create an environmental disturbance between the NMR gas probe and the space to be evaluated; and using a first NMR system arranged in the space to be evaluated to acquire NMR data of the space to be evaluated, obtaining the NMR spectrum sequence of each spatial unit in the space to be evaluated, wherein the space to be evaluated is divided into multiple spatial units, and the NMR spectrum sequence of each spatial unit includes multiple NMR spectrum data ordered according to the acquisition time, and the NMR spectrum data is used to characterize the NMR gas probe in the space.

[0033] Figure 1 The illustration schematically depicts an application scenario of a medical device department room acceptance method, apparatus, equipment, medium, and procedure product according to embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the application scenario 100 according to this embodiment may include the space to be evaluated 110, the gas probe injector 120, and the nuclear magnetic resonance system 130.
[0035] The gas probe injector 120 is positioned at the boundary of the space to be evaluated 110 and is used to inject gas into the space to be evaluated 110, wherein the injected gas may be a nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe.
[0036] A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) system 130 is disposed inside the space 110 to be evaluated. It is used to excite the gas injected by the gas probe injector 120 via NMR and to collect NMR data after the gas is excited. The NMR system 130 may include a first NMR system 130_1 and a second NMR system 130_2. The number of NMR systems is exemplary; different numbers of NMR systems can be set depending on the volume and complexity of the space 110 to be evaluated.
[0037] The application scenario 100 may also include a processor for data processing, which can be electrically connected to the nuclear magnetic resonance system 130 to acquire and process the data collected by the nuclear magnetic resonance system 130, and determine the environmental conditions of the space 110 to be evaluated.
[0038] It should be noted that the medical device department room acceptance method provided in this disclosure embodiment can generally be executed by a processor. The medical device department room acceptance method provided in this disclosure embodiment can also be executed by a processor or processor cluster that is different from the processor and capable of communicating with the MRI system 130.
[0039] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating a method for accepting medical device department rooms according to an embodiment of this disclosure is shown schematically.
[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the medical device department room acceptance method of this embodiment includes operations S210 to S240.
[0041] In operation S210, a nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe is injected into the space to be evaluated using a gas probe injector to create an environmental disturbance between the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe and the space to be evaluated.
[0042] In operation S220, the first nuclear magnetic resonance system arranged in the space to be evaluated is used to acquire nuclear magnetic resonance data of the space to be evaluated, and obtain the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum sequence of each spatial unit in the space to be evaluated.
[0043] In operation S230, the second nuclear magnetic resonance system arranged in the space to be evaluated is used to acquire nuclear magnetic resonance diffusion-weighted data of the space to be evaluated, and the diffusion-weighted imaging sequence of each spatial unit in the space to be evaluated is obtained.
[0044] In operation S240, the processor uses the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum sequence and diffusion-weighted imaging sequence of each spatial unit in the space to be evaluated to assess the environmental state of the space to be evaluated and obtain the assessment results.
[0045] The space to be evaluated can be a closed space that requires an environmental status assessment. In the embodiments of this disclosure, the space to be evaluated may include a department room where medical devices are stored. Specifically, the space to be evaluated may include spaces such as operating rooms and clean rooms in a hospital.
[0046] Gas probe injectors can be placed at the boundaries of the space to be evaluated, such as walls, floors, and ceilings. They are used to inject nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) gas probes into the space. Furthermore, the flow rate, pressure, and timing of NMR gases can be controlled to adapt to different injection requirements.
[0047] The nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe can be a gas that responds to nuclear magnetic resonance; preferably, it can be a gas that responds to nuclear magnetic resonance. 129 Xe is used as a gas probe for nuclear magnetic resonance. 129 Xe is a chemically stable gaseous isotope. It possesses an atomic nucleus detectable by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and its vast electron cloud is extremely sensitive to environmental disturbances, encoding the microscopic structural features of the probed space as significant NMR frequency shifts. Furthermore, its high diffusivity as a small-molecule gas allows it to penetrate complex spaces, and hyperpolarization techniques can amplify its NMR signal by tens of thousands of times.
[0048] 129 Xe possesses NMR-identifiable spectral characteristics and its inert nature prevents chemical reactions with the space environment, ensuring detection accuracy. Therefore, it can be used as a non-invasive, highly sensitive NMR gas probe for mapping the microstructure and gas transport function of space.
[0049] After injecting a nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe into the space to be evaluated, the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe can interact with the gas in the environment of the space to be evaluated or the main structure of the space to be evaluated, forming an environmental disturbance between the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe and the space to be evaluated.
[0050] A first nuclear magnetic resonance system can be set up in the space to be evaluated. The first nuclear magnetic resonance system can generate a main magnetic field, emit radio frequency pulses, and trigger resonance to excite the atomic nuclei of the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe, so that the atomic nuclei of the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe absorb energy and enter a high-energy state, and receive the nuclear magnetic resonance signal emitted by the atomic nuclei of the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe in the high-energy state during the recovery process.
[0051] Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data acquisition can refer to NMR spectral imaging acquisition. Specifically, the first NMR system can perform NMR spectral imaging acquisition after exciting the NMR gas probe to obtain the NMR spectrum sequence of each space unit in the space to be evaluated.
[0052] The space to be evaluated can be divided into multiple spatial units. The nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum sequence of each spatial unit includes multiple nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum data ordered according to the acquisition time. The nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum data is used to characterize the interaction between the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe and the ambient gas in the spatial unit.
[0053] It should be noted that, since the space to be evaluated is divided into multiple spatial units, the first nuclear magnetic resonance system can acquire data for each spatial unit separately, obtaining the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum sequence for each spatial unit. Therefore, spatial encoding can be performed on the basis of nuclear magnetic resonance spectral imaging acquisition, so that the acquired nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum sequence includes not only multiple nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum data ordered according to the acquisition time, but also the spatial encoding of the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum sequence. The spatial encoding can be used to indicate the spatial unit corresponding to the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum sequence.
[0054] A second nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) system can also be installed in the space to be evaluated. The second NMR system operates on the same principle as the first NMR system. In particular, the second NMR system and the first NMR system can be the same NMR system or different NMR systems.
[0055] A second nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) system can be used to excite an NMR gas probe and acquire NMR diffusion-weighted data of the space to be evaluated, resulting in diffusion-weighted imaging sequences for each space unit. The diffusion-weighted imaging sequence for each space unit includes multiple diffusion-weighted images ordered according to the acquisition time. These diffusion-weighted images are used to characterize the gas diffusion state of the NMR gas probe within the space unit.
[0056] It should be noted that the acquisition of NMR spectral sequences and diffusion-weighted imaging sequences can be performed simultaneously or sequentially. Acquiring these sequences sequentially allows for consistent distribution of the NMR gas probes in both processes, thus avoiding discrepancies in evaluation results caused by inconsistent NMR gas probe distributions.
[0057] Based on the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum sequence and diffusion-weighted imaging sequence of each space unit, a multi-dimensional characterization of the space environment to be evaluated can be achieved, and the environmental status of each space unit can be evaluated. By summarizing the environmental status evaluation results of each space unit, the environmental status evaluation result of the space to be evaluated can be obtained.
[0058] According to embodiments of this disclosure, environmental disturbances are created by actively injecting nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) gas probes. Combined with a dual-NMR system, spectral sequences and diffusion-weighted imaging sequences of each space unit are acquired separately, enabling a multi-dimensional, high-precision joint assessment of the space environment state to be evaluated. Compared to traditional assessment methods without active disturbances and with single data acquisition, active probe injection amplifies differences in space environment characteristics. The dual-system acquisition captures gas interactions and diffusion states respectively, and the two work together to provide comprehensive data support for the assessment, effectively improving the accuracy, comprehensiveness, and real-time performance of environmental state assessments, and adapting to the refined assessment needs of complex spaces.
[0059] According to embodiments of this disclosure, spatial units are determined as follows: using a first or second nuclear magnetic resonance system, and employing three-dimensional spatial coding technology, the space to be evaluated is divided into multiple spatial units according to a preset resolution. The three-dimensional spatial coding technology may include phase coding, frequency coding, layer selection coding, etc.
[0060] The preset resolution can be set according to the actual application needs. When the evaluation accuracy is high, the preset resolution can be set to the millimeter level. Therefore, the spatial positioning accuracy of the spatial unit obtained after three-dimensional spatial coding is higher, and it can identify more subtle differences in the local physical environment. It is suitable for evaluating enclosed spaces with complex structures that require fine analysis.
[0061] When the accuracy requirement is not high, the preset resolution can be set to decimeter level, centimeter level, etc., so the signal acquisition efficiency is higher and the signal-to-noise ratio is better, which is suitable for evaluating large-volume, simple-structure enclosed spaces.
[0062] Using three-dimensional spatial coding technology, the space to be evaluated is divided into multiple independent, non-overlapping cubes with three-dimensional dimensions and clear spatial locations and volumes, which serve as spatial units. The spatial unit is the smallest unit for nuclear magnetic resonance signal acquisition in this embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0063] Using a first or second nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) system and three-dimensional spatial coding technology, the space to be evaluated can be divided according to a preset resolution to obtain multiple spatial units and their corresponding three-dimensional spatial codes. These three-dimensional spatial codes can be used to uniquely identify each spatial unit.
[0064] By dividing the space into three dimensions, the overall evaluation of the space to be evaluated can be transformed into the evaluation of multiple spatial units. This not only achieves finer granularity but also enables a detailed evaluation of the space to be evaluated, identifying the differences between multiple spatial units.
[0065] Using a first nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) system deployed within the space to be evaluated, NMR data is acquired to obtain the NMR spectrum sequence of each spatial unit in the space to be evaluated. This includes: running the first NMR system and exciting the NMR gas probe to drive the interaction between the NMR gas probe and the ambient gas; continuously acquiring the interaction between gases in each spatial unit in the space to be evaluated for each spatial unit, obtaining NMR spectrum data at multiple acquisition times; and sorting the multiple NMR spectrum data according to the acquisition time to obtain the NMR spectrum sequence of the spatial unit.
[0066] After the first nuclear magnetic resonance system is put into operation, it excites the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe by generating a magnetic field, emitting radio frequency pulses, and triggering resonance, thereby driving the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe to interact with the ambient gas.
[0067] In each spatial cell, the interactions between gases within that cell are acquired at multiple acquisition times, resulting in NMR spectrum data for the NMR gas probe at each acquisition time. These NMR data are then sorted according to their acquisition times to obtain the NMR spectrum sequence for that spatial cell. The NMR spectrum data may include characteristic parameters such as the peak value, peak shape, and peak width of the NMR gas probe's resonance peaks, as well as peak shifts caused by the influence of other gases.
[0068] Specifically, after exciting the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe in the space unit using the first nuclear magnetic resonance system, the nuclear magnetic resonance free induction decay signal of the space unit can be collected, and the above signal can be Fourier transformed into nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum data including the peak value, peak shape, peak width, and shift of the resonance peak.
[0069] According to embodiments of this disclosure, three-dimensional spatial coding technology is used to divide spatial units at a preset resolution, achieving refined zoning and control of the space to be evaluated. Simultaneously, the acquisition logic of the spectral sequence is clearly defined, ensuring accurate traceability of gas interaction data for each spatial unit. Three-dimensional coding solves the evaluation bias problem caused by the coarseness of traditional zoning. It continuously acquires and sorts spectral data according to the acquisition time, fully capturing the dynamic changes in the interaction between the probe and environmental gases. This provides continuous and reliable basic data for subsequent chemical shift analysis and environmental feature extraction, further improving the refinement of the evaluation.
[0070] According to embodiments of this disclosure, a second nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) system arranged within the space to be evaluated is used to acquire NMR diffusion-weighted data of the space to be evaluated, obtaining a diffusion-weighted imaging sequence of each spatial unit in the space to be evaluated. This includes: configuring the control parameters of the second NMR system according to a first preset parameter value for each spatial unit, and using the second NMR system to excite NMR gas probes in the spatial unit to obtain first NMR signals at multiple acquisition times; configuring the control parameters of the second NMR system according to a second preset parameter value, and using the second NMR system to excite NMR gas probes in the spatial unit to obtain second NMR signals at multiple acquisition times; determining the gas diffusion state at each acquisition time based on the first and second NMR signals at each acquisition time; and sorting the multiple gas diffusion states according to the acquisition times to obtain a diffusion-weighted imaging sequence of the spatial units.
[0071] The second control parameter of the nuclear magnetic resonance system refers to the b-value, a core parameter of nuclear magnetic diffusion-weighted imaging. The b-value is a physical quantity determined by the gradient field parameter and used to control the sensitivity of the experiment to the detection of molecular diffusion. The larger the b-value, the higher the sensitivity to the monitoring of molecular diffusion.
[0072] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the first preset parameter value can be greater than the second preset parameter value. The control parameters are configured using the first and second preset parameter values respectively, and the configured model is used to excite the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe in the space unit to acquire the first and second nuclear magnetic resonance signals at multiple acquisition times.
[0073] For example, the first preset parameter value can be set to 50s / mm. 2 The second preset parameter value is set to 0. The second NMR system configured using the first preset parameter value is more sensitive to diffusion. During diffusion, the NMR signal of the NMR gas probe undergoes characteristic attenuation due to the gradient magnetic field; the more intense the diffusion process, the more pronounced the signal attenuation. The second NMR system configured using the second preset parameter is less sensitive to diffusion, and the acquired signal is primarily composed of the NMR background signal of the NMR gas probe, reflecting the spatial distribution concentration of the probe and providing a reference for the diffusion signal.
[0074] Furthermore, in the second NMR system, all parameters except the control parameters can be fixed, and only preset parameter values can be adjusted to ensure that the difference between the first and second NMR signals is caused solely by the difference in control parameters. Additionally, the same signal acquisition location can be selected for acquisition to further eliminate differences caused by other factors.
[0075] Specifically, other parameters may include NMR parameters. For example, radio frequency pulse intensity or duration, spatial coding method, voxel segmentation resolution, signal acquisition duration, etc.
[0076] Based on the first and second NMR signals, the diffusion of the NMR gas probe under different control parameters at the same acquisition time can be determined. From the above special cases, the diffusion of the NMR gas probe under normal circumstances can be deduced as the gas diffusion state at that acquisition time.
[0077] It is understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary. Depending on the different accuracy requirements in actual applications, multiple preset parameter values can be set and multiple excitations can be performed to obtain multiple NMR signals at each acquisition moment and determine the gas diffusion state.
[0078] By sorting multiple gas diffusion states of the same spatial cell according to the acquisition time, the diffusion-weighted imaging sequence of that spatial cell can be obtained.
[0079] According to embodiments of this disclosure, a second nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) system is controlled by dual preset parameter configuration to acquire NMR signals under different parameters and deduce the diffusion state of the NMR gas probe, thereby achieving accurate generation of diffusion-weighted imaging sequences. The dual-parameter configuration can specifically capture gas states with different diffusion characteristics, avoiding the omission of diffusion information caused by single-parameter acquisition. The imaging sequence, with signals superimposed from multiple acquisition moments, can fully reflect the dynamic law of probe diffusion, improve the accuracy of diffusion state characterization, and provide high-quality data support for subsequent geometric feature evaluation.
[0080] According to embodiments of this disclosure, an environmental state assessment of the space to be assessed is performed using a processor based on the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum sequences of each spatial unit in the space to be assessed and the diffusion-weighted imaging sequences of each spatial unit in the space to be assessed, to obtain an assessment result. This includes: determining the chemical shift sequence of the NMR gas probe based on the NMR spectrum sequences of each spatial unit, wherein the chemical shift sequence includes multiple chemical shifts ordered according to the acquisition time, and the chemical shift at each acquisition time is determined based on the shift between the NMR frequency shown in the NMR spectrum at the acquisition time and the reference NMR frequency of the NMR gas probe; and obtaining the assessment result based on the chemical shift sequence and the diffusion-weighted imaging sequence.
[0081] The processor can acquire nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum sequences and diffusion-weighted imaging sequences from the first and second nuclear magnetic resonance systems, respectively, and process the sequences to complete the environmental state assessment of the space to be evaluated.
[0082] Chemical shift refers to the minute deviation of the resonance frequency of an atomic nucleus relative to a certain standard reference. The core of it is the characteristic change in the resonance frequency caused by different chemical or physical environments around the atomic nucleus.
[0083] Specifically, the resonance frequency of an atomic nucleus is proportional to the effective magnetic field. When the effective magnetic field changes, the resonance frequency will change accordingly, resulting in a shift in the resonance frequency after the change compared to the resonance frequency before the change in the magnetic field. This shift is called chemical shift.
[0084] For the same nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe, the amount of chemical shift will vary depending on the environment or the degree of excitation it receives. Therefore, the environment of the space unit where the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe is located can be inferred from the chemical shift.
[0085] Specifically, determining the chemical shift sequence of the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe based on the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum sequence of each space unit may include: determining the nuclear magnetic resonance frequency at each acquisition time according to the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum sequence; determining the relative shift between the nuclear magnetic resonance frequency and the reference nuclear magnetic resonance frequency as the chemical shift; and sorting multiple chemical shifts according to the acquisition time to obtain the chemical shift sequence.
[0086] The NMR spectral sequence comprises NMR frequencies at multiple acquisition times. Based on the NMR frequency at each acquisition time and the reference NMR frequency of the NMR gas probe in its unexcited state, the chemical shifts resulting from the excitation operation can be determined. By sorting the multiple chemical shifts according to the acquisition times, a chemical shift sequence can be obtained.
[0087] Furthermore, the environmental state of the space to be evaluated can be assessed based on the chemical shift sequence and diffusion-weighted imaging sequence to obtain the evaluation results.
[0088] According to embodiments of this disclosure, chemical shift sequences are extracted based on spectral sequences and combined with diffusion-weighted imaging sequences to achieve a two-dimensional assessment of chemical properties and diffusion states, enriching the assessment dimensions and enhancing the assessment depth. Chemical shifts are determined by the relative shift between the nuclear magnetic resonance frequency and the reference frequency at the acquisition time, enabling standardized and precise calculation of chemical shifts. This provides accurate quantitative evidence for subsequent physical property analysis, further improving the standardization of the assessment process and the accuracy of the assessment results. Chemical shift sequences can accurately characterize the interaction between the probe and the ambient gas, reflecting spatial compositional differences. Combined with diffusion state data from diffusion-weighted imaging sequences, this overcomes the limitations of single-dimensional assessment, achieving a comprehensive analysis of the space environment state and improving the scientific rigor and reliability of the assessment results.
[0089] According to embodiments of this disclosure, an evaluation result is obtained based on a chemical shift sequence and a diffusion-weighted imaging sequence, including: for each spatial unit, determining the physical properties of the components in the spatial unit based on the chemical shift sequence; determining the geometric features of the components in the spatial unit based on the diffusion-weighted imaging sequence; determining a sub-evaluation result for the spatial unit based on the physical properties and geometric features; and obtaining an evaluation result based on the identification information of multiple spatial units, the mapping relationship between the identification information and the sequence, and the sub-evaluation results of multiple spatial units. The mapping relationship between the identification information and the sequence includes the mapping relationship between the identification information of multiple spatial units and multiple chemical shift sequences, and the mapping relationship between the identification information of multiple spatial units and multiple diffusion-weighted imaging sequences.
[0090] Chemical shift is sensitive to the physical environment. Therefore, based on the chemical shift at each acquisition time, the physical properties of the components of multiple spatial units in the space to be evaluated, as well as the differences in physical properties between the components of multiple spatial units, can be determined by the differences in spectral characteristics.
[0091] The components may include other gaseous components in the space unit besides the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe, as well as structural components such as beams and walls within the space unit. Physical properties may include temperature, pressure, gaseous medium composition, and structural component characteristics.
[0092] Diffusion-weighted imaging can determine the signal attenuation law and diffusion coefficient of nuclear magnetic resonance gas probes under different control parameters. Therefore, based on diffusion-weighted imaging sequences, the apparent diffusion coefficient, diffusion direction, and diffusion restriction degree of nuclear magnetic resonance gas probes in space units can be determined. Then, based on the above parameters, the geometric characteristics such as pore structure, spatial connectivity, and gas flow resistance in space units can be determined.
[0093] By associating the physical properties and geometric features of each spatial unit, the sub-evaluation results for each spatial unit can be determined. Based on the identification information of multiple spatial units, the mapping relationship between the identification information and the aforementioned chemical shift sequence and diffusion-weighted imaging sequence, and the sub-evaluation results of multiple spatial units, each spatial unit of the space to be evaluated can be associated with the sub-evaluation results at that location, thereby determining the evaluation result of the space to be evaluated.
[0094] According to embodiments of this disclosure, chemical shift can be used to obtain the resonance frequency shift of atomic nuclei in a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) gas probe, reflecting the static physical environment characteristics of the local space. Diffusion-weighted imaging can be used to obtain the molecular diffusion behavior of the NMR gas probe, reflecting dynamic characteristics such as spatial connectivity and pore structure. Combining these two methods enables a comprehensive and accurate assessment of the space to be evaluated.
[0095] According to embodiments of this disclosure, determining the physical properties of the components in a space unit based on a chemical shift sequence includes: determining the shift of the nuclear magnetic resonance frequency characterized by the chemical shift of the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe at each acquisition time, the shift including the nuclear magnetic resonance offset, the number of peaks, and the peak value; determining the chemical composition of the space unit based on the offset; determining the number of independent environments in the space unit based on the number of peaks; determining the capacity of each independent environment to accommodate the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe based on the peak value of each peak; and determining the physical properties of the components in the space unit based on the chemical composition, the number of independent environments, and the capacity of each independent environment to accommodate the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe.
[0096] Typically, nuclides that are extremely sensitive to their physical environment can be selected as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) gas probes. Therefore, when parameters such as local pressure and temperature change within a space cell, corresponding chemical shifts will occur. Similarly, when the NMR gas probe comes into contact with different media within a space cell, corresponding chemical shifts will also occur. Thus, when multiple sub-regions with different physical properties exist within the same space cell, multiple chemical shifts can occur.
[0097] Different chemical shifts present different peaks on the spectrum. Therefore, the number of peaks can be counted. If there are multiple peaks indicating the presence of chemical shifts, it can be determined that there are multiple sub-regions with different physical properties in the spatial unit.
[0098] The number of independent environments in a spatial unit can be determined based on the number of peaks, where each independent environment corresponds to a sub-region with different physical properties.
[0099] Furthermore, the capacity of an independent environment to accommodate a nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe can be determined based on the peak value corresponding to each independent environment.
[0100] Different shifts in chemical shift indicate different causes for the shift. Therefore, the pressure, temperature, and medium within the space cell, i.e., the chemical composition of the space cell, can be determined based on the shift. It can be understood that in the presence of multiple peaks, the shift represents the chemical composition of the space cell corresponding to that peak.
[0101] Figure 3A The diagram illustrates a method for determining chemical shift sequences in a medical device department room acceptance procedure according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0102] like Figure 3A As shown, the horizontal axis of the spectrum represents time t, and the vertical axis represents frequency f. Figure 3AThe dashed line represents the curve of the reference nuclear magnetic resonance frequency changing over time, while the solid line represents the curve of the nuclear magnetic resonance frequency changing over time.
[0103] Based on the two curves mentioned above, the chemical shift at each acquisition moment can be obtained by subtracting the reference NMR frequency from the NMR frequency.
[0104] For example, for acquisition time t1, with reference NMR frequency f1' and NMR frequency f1, the chemical shift at acquisition time t1 is the difference between the two, i.e., f1' - f1. Similarly, the chemical shift at acquisition time t2 is f2' - f2, and the chemical shift at acquisition time t3 is f3' - f3.
[0105] Figure 3B The spectrum of the chemical shift sequence obtained by the medical device department room acceptance method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated schematically.
[0106] like Figure 3B As shown, the horizontal axis of the spectrum represents time t, and the vertical axis represents chemical shift δ.
[0107] Figure 3B The ordinate value at each acquisition time is obtained through... Figure 3A The values are obtained from the calculation process. For example, the ordinate of acquisition time t1 is δ1 = f1' - f1, the ordinate of acquisition time t2 is δ2 = f2' - f2, and the ordinate of acquisition time t3 is δ3 = f3' - f3.
[0108] Analysis of the spectrum reveals that it contains three peaks. The acquisition times of the three peaks from left to right are t1, t2, and t3, and their corresponding chemical shifts are δ1, δ2, and δ3, respectively.
[0109] Therefore, it can be determined that there are three independent environments in this space unit, and the chemical composition of each independent environment and its capacity to accommodate nuclear magnetic resonance gas probes can be obtained by analyzing δ1, δ2 and δ3 respectively.
[0110] Based on the chemical composition obtained from the analysis, the number of independent environments, and the capacity of each independent environment to accommodate the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe, the physical properties of the components in the space unit can be comprehensively determined.
[0111] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the chemical composition, number of independent environments, and carrying capacity of a space unit are analyzed based on three dimensions: the offset, number of peaks, and peak value of the chemical shift sequence, respectively, achieving a refined and multi-dimensional characterization of physical properties. Compared to traditional methods of characterizing physical properties using a single indicator, multi-dimensional indicators can comprehensively capture the intrinsic environmental characteristics of the space unit, avoiding the one-sidedness of physical property assessment, making the determination of physical properties more consistent with the actual environment, and providing more accurate feature support for the overall assessment.
[0112] According to embodiments of this disclosure, determining the geometric features of the components in a space cell based on a diffusion-weighted imaging sequence includes: determining the diffusion rate of a nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe within the space cell based on the diffusion-weighted imaging sequence; determining the tortuosity and connectivity of the space cell based on the standard diffusion rate and diffusion velocity of the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe; and determining the geometric features based on the tortuosity and connectivity.
[0113] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the signal attenuation law under different control parameter values can be determined by diffusion-weighted imaging sequence, so as to realize the quantitative calculation and qualitative analysis of the apparent diffusion behavior of nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe. The apparent diffusion coefficient is the core quantitative indicator characterizing diffusion behavior, so the analysis can be carried out around the apparent diffusion coefficient.
[0114] Specifically, the exponential decay relationship of the NMR signal intensity under different control parameter values can be determined by equation (1):
[0115] (1)
[0116] Where S(b) represents the NMR signal intensity of the NMR gas probe when the control parameter is b, S0 represents the NMR signal intensity of the NMR gas probe when the control parameter is 0, b is the diffusion weighting factor, ADC is the apparent diffusion coefficient, which is used to characterize the diffusion capability of the NMR gas probe, that is, the diffusion rate of the NMR gas probe in the space unit, and e is the natural base.
[0117] The apparent diffusion coefficient of each spatial unit can be calculated using equation (1). By comparing the apparent diffusion coefficients of different spatial units, the differences between the apparent diffusion coefficients of different spatial units and the signal attenuation trend of different spatial units can be determined.
[0118] For a given spatial cell, a larger ADC value indicates a more vigorous diffusion motion of the NMR gas probe within that spatial cell and a smaller spatial constraint. Conversely, a smaller ADC value indicates a slower diffusion motion of the NMR gas probe within that spatial cell and a greater spatial constraint.
[0119] The first and second preset parameter values can be substituted into equation (1) to obtain the standard diffusion rate and diffusion rate of the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe, respectively. For example, when the first preset parameter value is 50 and the second preset parameter value is 0, 50 and 0 are substituted into equation (1) to solve for the ADC value in S(50) as the diffusion rate of the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe in the space unit, and the ADC value in S(0) as the standard diffusion rate of the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe in the space unit.
[0120] When using two preset parameter values b1 and b0 as control parameters, the ADC value can be calculated using equation (2):
[0121] (2)
[0122] By comparing the diffusion rate with the standard diffusion rate, the degree of diffusion restriction of a spatial cell can be determined. For example, by comparing the signal attenuation rates represented by the ADC values of the two, a higher attenuation rate indicates less restriction of diffusion by space or medium, while a lower attenuation rate indicates greater restriction of diffusion by space or medium. Based on the degree of restriction, aspects of the spatial cell's tortuosity, such as enclosed voids and high-resistance walls, can be predicted and evaluated.
[0123] By applying gradient magnetic fields in different directions to a space cell, the directional differences in different ADC values can be determined. If the ADC value in one direction is significantly higher than in other directions, it indicates that the diffusion of the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe along that direction is smoother, and the connectivity of the space cell can be predicted and evaluated.
[0124] For example, if it is determined that the diffusion of the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe is smoother in the east-west direction, it can be determined that there is an east-west connecting channel in the space unit.
[0125] Once the degree of tortuosity and connectivity are determined, the overall geometric characteristics of the spatial unit can be determined by comprehensively considering both factors.
[0126] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the probe diffusion rate is determined using diffusion-weighted imaging sequences, and the tortuosity and connectivity of space units are deduced by combining standard diffusion rates, thus achieving a quantitative assessment of geometric features. The diffusion rate is directly related to the spatial geometry, and this derivation logic can transform diffusion state data into intuitive geometric feature parameters, solving the problem of the difficulty in quantifying traditional geometric features, improving the accuracy of geometric feature assessment, and providing a reliable basis for structural analysis of the space environment.
[0127] According to embodiments of this disclosure, injecting a nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe into a space to be evaluated to create an environmental disturbance between the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe and the space to be evaluated includes: setting at least one injection point on the boundary of the space to be evaluated; and injecting the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe into the space to be evaluated from the at least one injection point according to a preset injection method; when the boundary includes one injection point, the preset injection method includes at least one of the following: pulsed injection, steady-state injection; when the boundary includes multiple injection points, the preset injection method is multi-point synchronous injection.
[0128] The boundary of the space to be evaluated may include walls, ceilings, floors, etc. The injection point can be a gas orifice. A gas orifice for injecting the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe is set at the aforementioned boundary location as the injection point.
[0129] The preset injection method can be determined based on the number of injection points, and the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe can be injected into the space to be evaluated from the injection points according to the preset injection method.
[0130] In cases where there is only one injection point at the boundary, the preset injection method can be either pulse injection or steady-state injection.
[0131] Pulsed injection refers to the intermittent release of NMR gas probes into the space to be evaluated. Pulsed injection is suitable for evaluating the transient diffusion characteristics of gases in the space to be evaluated and the corresponding behavior of the NMR gas probes in response to the environment of the space to be evaluated.
[0132] Steady-state injection refers to the continuous and uniform release of NMR gas probes into the space to be evaluated until the concentration of the NMR gas probes in the space reaches dynamic equilibrium. Steady-state injection is suitable for evaluating the steady-state gas distribution characteristics and environmental homogeneity of the space to be evaluated.
[0133] When there are multiple injection points at the boundary, the default injection method can be multi-point synchronous injection.
[0134] Multi-point synchronous injection refers to the simultaneous release of NMR gas probes into the space to be evaluated from multiple injection points. Multi-point synchronous injection is suitable for achieving full-domain gas perturbation and distribution coverage of the space to be evaluated in large volumes and complex structures, and can avoid the signal blind zone of single-point injection.
[0135] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the preset injection method is optimized based on the number of injection points. Single injection points employ pulsed or steady-state injection, while multiple injection points use synchronous injection to ensure uniform distribution of the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe within the space to be evaluated. This rational injection method design avoids data acquisition deviations caused by uneven probe distribution. Flexible injection at a single point can adapt to different space scales, while synchronous injection at multiple points improves injection efficiency and uniformity, laying the foundation for the accuracy of subsequent dual-system data acquisition and further ensuring the reliability of the evaluation results.

The processor 440 is communicatively connected to the first MRI system 420 and the second MRI system 430.
[0139] The gas probe injector 410 is configured to inject a nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe into a space to be evaluated, thereby creating an environmental disturbance between the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe and the space to be evaluated, including a department room where medical devices are stored.
[0140] The first nuclear magnetic resonance system 420 is configured to acquire nuclear magnetic resonance data of the space to be evaluated, and obtain the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum sequence of each spatial unit in the space to be evaluated. The space to be evaluated is divided into multiple spatial units, and the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum sequence of the spatial unit includes multiple nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum data ordered according to the acquisition time. The nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum data is used to characterize the interaction between the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe and the ambient gas in the spatial unit.
[0141] The second nuclear magnetic resonance system 430 is configured to acquire nuclear magnetic resonance diffusion-weighted data of the space to be evaluated, and obtain diffusion-weighted imaging sequences of each space cell in the space to be evaluated. The diffusion-weighted imaging sequence of the space cell includes multiple diffusion-weighted images ordered according to the acquisition time. The diffusion-weighted imaging is used to characterize the gas diffusion state of the nuclear magnetic resonance gas probe in the space cell.
[0142] The processor 440 is configured to receive the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum sequence of each spatial unit in the space to be evaluated transmitted by the first nuclear magnetic resonance system, and the diffusion-weighted imaging sequence of each spatial unit in the space to be evaluated transmitted by the second nuclear magnetic resonance system, and to perform an environmental state assessment of the space to be evaluated based on the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum sequence and the diffusion-weighted imaging sequence of each spatial unit in the space to be evaluated, thereby obtaining the assessment result.
