AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In magnetic resonance imaging systems, conductive materials generate heat due to eddy currents induced by rapidly changing magnetic gradient fields, leading to signal drift, reduced component lifespan, and image quality issues in PET systems. Existing solutions, such as using low-conductivity materials or adjusting the orientation of conductive surfaces, are limited and costly.

Method used

By designing a mesh structure on the printed circuit board, the impedance of the conductive layer is increased to reduce eddy current heating. At the same time, signal quality is optimized by widening the conductive traces and slits, which can meet the flexible design requirements of different imaging systems.

Benefits of technology

It effectively reduces eddy current heating, improves signal integrity and flexibility, adapts to the design requirements of different imaging systems, reduces costs, and maintains the functional stability of the circuit board.
