[0041] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a magnetic resonance system shim assembly provided in one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the cooperation between the magnetic resonance system shim assembly, the superconducting magnet and the gradient coil provided in one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 A partial schematic diagram of the cooperation between a shimming assembly of a magnetic resonance system and a superconducting magnet provided in one embodiment of the present invention is provided. The shimming assembly of a magnetic resonance system provided in one embodiment of the present invention includes a shimming base 100 and shimming components 200. The shimming base 100 is connected to the wall of a magnet bore 310 of a superconducting magnet 300 and is located between the superconducting magnet 300 and the gradient coil 400. The shimming base 100 includes a shielding layer 110 that is arranged circumferentially around the superconducting magnet 300 to shield interference signals. The shimming base 100 has a plurality of mounting slots 120 that are spaced apart circumferentially around the superconducting magnet 300 and are located outside the shielding layer 110. The number of shimming components 200 corresponds to the number of mounting slots 120, and each shimming component 200 is inserted into a corresponding mounting slot 120.

[0042] Specifically, in the present application, the shim base 100 is located between the superconducting magnet 300 and the gradient coil 400, and the shim element 200 is inserted into the mounting groove 120 of the shim base 100, thereby improving the uniformity of the magnetic field formed by the superconducting magnet 300. A shielding layer 110 is arranged around the circumference of the superconducting magnet 300, and the shielding layer 110 is located on the side of the mounting groove 120 close to the gradient coil 400 to shield the shim element 200 and the shim base 100 from interference signals, such as electromagnetic signals, generated by the collision under the vibration generated by the operation of the gradient coil 400, thereby improving image quality. At the same time, the shielding layer 110 can also isolate most of the heat generated by the gradient coil 400 during operation, preventing it from being directly transferred to the shim element 200, causing temperature changes between the shim element 200 and the superconducting magnet 300, and further causing magnetic field drift problems.

[0043] Furthermore, the shim matrix 100 has an axial length equal to that of the superconducting magnet 300 and the gradient coil 400 , thereby stably isolating heat generated by the gradient coil 400 during operation and preventing the heat from being transferred to the superconducting magnet 300 .

[0044] It should be noted that the shim base 100 is connected to the superconducting magnet 300. The shim base 100 is provided with a mounting hole 150, and the gradient coil 400 is inserted into the mounting hole 150. That is, the shim base 100 is not fixed to the gradient coil 400. Therefore, when the gradient coil 400 is in operation, the vibration transmitted to the shim base 100 can be reduced, thereby improving the stability of the magnetic resonance system shim assembly installed between the magnetic conductor and the gradient coil 400.

[0045] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the shim base 100 further includes a connecting layer 130 , which is arranged around the circumference of the superconducting magnet 300 . The connecting layer 130 is located on a side of the mounting slot 120 away from the shielding layer 110 . The connecting layer 130 is used to connect to the wall of the magnet hole 310 .

[0046] Specifically, the provision of the connecting layer 130 increases the contact area between the shim base 100 and the wall of the magnet bore 310, thereby improving the stability of the shim base 100 and the superconducting magnet 300. Furthermore, the connecting layer 130 further isolates the heat generated by the gradient coil 400 during operation, preventing temperature variations between the shim 200 and the superconducting magnet 300, which could lead to magnetic field drift. Preferably, the connecting layer 130 is welded to the wall of the magnet bore 310.

[0047] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the shim base 100 includes a shim tube, the inner wall of the shim tube is configured as a shielding layer 110, the outer wall of the shim tube is configured as a connecting layer 130, and the mounting groove 120 is located on the wall of the shim tube.

[0048] Specifically, the gradient coil 400 is inserted into the cylinder hole of the shim cylinder, and the shim base 100 is a solid structure, thereby improving the stability of the shim base 100 and improving the heat insulation effect of the shim base 100 .

[0049] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 , Figure 4A partial schematic diagram of a magnetic resonance system shimming assembly according to one embodiment of the present invention. In one embodiment, a shimming base 100 includes a plurality of cooling channels 140 spaced circumferentially around a superconducting magnet 300. The cooling channels 140 have inlets 144 for admitting a cooling medium and outlets 145 for directing the cooling medium into the cooling mechanism.

[0050] Specifically, the cooling medium enters the cooling channel 140 through the inlet 144 and then flows out through the outlet 145, thereby forming a closed and complete cooling circulation system. The cooling medium promptly removes the heat from the shim base 100, thereby better isolating the heat generated by the gradient coil 400 and avoiding temperature changes between the shim 200 and the superconducting magnet 300, which in turn causes magnetic field drift problems.

[0051] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 5 A partially expanded front view of the magnetic resonance system shim assembly and superconducting magnet provided in one embodiment of the present invention. In one embodiment, the inlet 144 and outlet 145 of each cooling channel 140 are located on the same side of the shim base 100, facilitating the connection and removal of the cooling medium and effectively utilizing space. In other embodiments, the inlet 144 and outlet 145 may also be located at either end of the cooling hole 141.

[0052] See Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 6 A partially expanded side view of a magnetic resonance system shim assembly according to one embodiment of the present invention. In one embodiment, a cooling channel 140 is provided between two adjacent mounting slots 120, thereby improving heat dissipation for the shim element 200 while also conserving radial space in the shim cylinder and reducing manufacturing costs. Preferably, a cooling channel 140 is provided between any two adjacent mounting slots 120.

[0053] participate Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the cooling channel 140 includes a cooling hole 141, a liquid inlet pipe 142, and a liquid outlet pipe 143. The cooling hole 141 is provided on the shim substrate 100 and is located outside the shielding layer 110. The liquid inlet pipe 142 and the liquid outlet pipe 143 are respectively connected to the two ends of the cooling hole 141. The inlet 144 is located on the liquid inlet pipe 142, and the outlet 145 is located on the liquid outlet pipe 143.

[0054] Specifically, the cooling holes 141 are provided on the wall of the shim cylinder, and the cooling medium introduced through the liquid inlet pipe 142 directly contacts the wall of the cooling holes 141 , that is, contacts the wall of the shim cylinder, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the shim cylinder.

[0055] In other embodiments, the cooling channel 140 includes a cooling pipe, which is disposed through the wall of the shim cylinder, and the inlet 144 and the outlet 145 are located on the cooling pipe.

[0056] participate Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, each cooling channel 140 includes at least two cooling holes 141, which are arranged to extend through the cooling channel 140. The cooling channels 140 also include a water return pipe 146. The same side of at least two adjacent cooling holes 141 communicates with both ends of the water return pipe 146. Each liquid inlet pipe 142 and liquid outlet pipe 143 are located on the same side of the shim barrel. Preferably, the cooling holes 141 extend in the same direction as the mounting slot 120.

[0057] Furthermore, each cooling channel 140 includes two cooling holes 141 , and each cooling hole 141 is located on a side close to the corresponding mounting slot 120 , so as to improve the heat dissipation effect on the shim 200 .

[0058] See Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the shim element 200 includes a first shim bar 210 and two second shim bars 220 arranged on both sides of the first shim bar 210. The first shim bar 210 and the second shim bar 220 each include a plurality of shim pieces 221 and a carrier 222 for carrying the shim pieces 221. The weight of the shim pieces 221 included in the first shim bar 210 is greater than the weight of the shim pieces 221 included in the second shim bar 220.

[0059] Specifically, the weight of the shims 221 included in the first shim bar 210 is greater than the weight of the shims 221 included in the second shim bar 220, so that the second shim bar 220 can be pulled out of the mounting slot 120 more easily under the action of the magnetic field. This allows the first shim bar 210 to roughly adjust the magnetic field uniformity of the magnetic resonance system, and then the second shim bar 220 can be plugged in and out to adjust the number of shims 221 under the magnetic field to finely adjust the magnetic field uniformity of the magnetic resonance system. It can be understood that during the first shim adjustment, the heavier shims 221 are added to the first shim bar 210, and then the first shim bar 210 is no longer plugged in or out and remains in the mounting slot 120. After the second field raising process, the second shim bar 220 can be plugged in and out without lowering the field to add the lighter shims 221 to achieve field shimming, thereby reducing the number of shim adjustments for the shim assembly of the magnetic resonance system and improving operational efficiency. Preferably, the mounting groove 120 extends along the axial direction of the superconducting magnet 300 .

[0060] See Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the magnetic resonance system shim assembly further includes a limit plate 230, which is detachably connected to the shim base 100. The limit plate 230 is used to block the notch of the mounting slot 120 to prevent the shim component 200 in the mounting slot 120 from falling out.

[0061] Specifically, the mounting slot 120 is provided throughout, with a limiting plate 230 provided on both sides of the mounting slot 120. When the limiting plate 230 is connected to the shim barrel, the limiting plate 230 can block the notch of the mounting slot 120 to ensure that the shim element 200 does not move relative to the mounting slot 120 and fall out of the mounting slot 120 when subjected to a magnetic field force, thereby improving the reliability of the magnetic resonance system shim assembly. When the limiting plate 230 is disassembled from the shim barrel, the notch of the mounting slot 120 is released, allowing the second shim strip 220 to fall out, allowing the insertion of a smaller shim piece 221 to further achieve shim adjustment. Preferably, the limiting plate 230 is connected to the barrel wall of the shim barrel via fasteners such as screws.

[0062] participate Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4The utility model further provides a magnetic resonance system, including a superconducting magnet 300, a gradient coil 400, and a shim base 100; the superconducting magnet 300 has a magnet hole 310; the gradient coil 400 is disposed in the magnet hole 310; the shim base 100 is located between the superconducting magnet 300 and the gradient coil 400, and is connected to the hole wall of the magnet hole 310; the shim base 100 has a plurality of mounting slots 120 arranged at intervals around the circumference of the superconducting magnet 300, with the slot openings of the mounting slots 120 facing the hole wall of the magnet hole 310; the number of shims 200 corresponds to the number of the mounting slots 120, and each shim 200 is inserted into a corresponding mounting slot 120.

[0063] Specifically, in the present application, the shim base 100 is located between the superconducting magnet 300 and the gradient coil 400 , and the shim element 200 is inserted into the mounting slot 120 of the shim base 100 , thereby improving the uniformity of the magnetic field formed by the superconducting magnet 300 .

[0064] participate Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, a shielding layer 110 is provided on the end surface of the shim substrate 100 facing the gradient coil 400 to shield the gradient coil 400 from external interference signals.

[0065] Specifically, by providing a shielding layer 110 arranged circumferentially around the superconducting magnet 300, and the shielding layer 110 is located on the side of the mounting slot 120 close to the gradient coil 400, interference signals generated by the collision between the shim 200 and the shim base 100 due to the vibration generated by the operation of the gradient coil 400 are shielded, thereby improving image quality. At the same time, the shielding layer 110 can also isolate most of the heat generated by the gradient coil 400 during operation, preventing it from being directly transferred to the shim 200, causing temperature changes between the shim 200 and the superconducting magnet 300, and further causing magnetic field drift problems.

[0066] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0067] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
