The application provides a
small animal sciatic nerve magnetic
resonance coil and an imaging method, and the method comprises the following steps: filling a high-concentration
sugar syrup solution at the bottom of the magnetic
resonance coil and performing constant
temperature control; placing a
small animal in a
prone position in the high-concentration
sugar syrup solution and discharging air in the gap between the lower limbs and below the
abdomen of the
small animal; after performing magnetic
resonance positioning scanning to determine the main sequence scanning range, starting the main sequence scanning, suppressing the flow tissue
signal through a pre-pulse combination, exciting the tissue by using a
radio frequency pulse with preset parameters, acquiring echo signals by combining a
fast spin echo technology and filling
K space, and obtaining scanning
original data; performing preprocessing on the scanning
original data and
accurate segmentation of the
sciatic nerve and
spinal nerve to obtain a segmentation result; and completing three-dimensional
model reconstruction, optimization and multi-
modal fusion
visualization based on the segmentation result to obtain an image scanning result. The application is suitable for small animals, is accurate in imaging, can effectively suppress various kinds of artifacts, and can be widely applied to
sciatic nerve imaging scenarios of small animals.
