Background technology 4:
It is image guided that the extracorporeal high energy focusing ultrasonic therapy system of clinical practice at present adopts B ultrasound imaging inspection instrument to implement more, utilizes the B ultrasound image to seek the therapeutic goal district, carry out real-time imaging inspection, therapeutic process monitoring etc.Be limited to the deficiency of present existing B ultrasound imaging ultrasound technology aspect guiding in real time and accurate diagnosis, utilize magnetic resonance imaging system to carry out the monitoring of image guided and therapeutic process, curative effect inspection, become the main direction of extracorporeal high energy focusing ultrasonic therapy system technical development.
Why magnetic resonance guiding extracorporeal high energy focusing ultrasonic therapy system becomes the developing direction of extracorporeal high energy focusing ultrasonic therapy system of new generation, mainly based on magnetic resonance equipment in the accurate advantage aspect the diagnosis of real time imaging guiding, noinvasive thermometric and clinical tumor, these advantages mainly show following some:
(1) image detection aspect, nuclear magnetic resonance is better than ultra sonic imaging
Nuclear magnetic resonance is safety, the non-invasive tumor image diagnostic equipment, and it utilizes multiple pulse train integrated imaging, the pathological change of complete observation neoplastic lesion.Three-dimensional high definition rate image accurately can be provided, and resolution can reach below the 1mm.Clear picture, accurate, especially very clear for the boundary of tumor locus and normal surrounding tissue.Magnetic resonance utilizes benign tumor and malignant tumor completely different this characteristic aspect blood supply, can carry out dynamic contrast enhancement, observe the enhanced ratio of pathological changes signal, the sensitivity and the specificity of diagnosis of malignant tumor are reached about 95%. magnetic resonance will be used the radio frequency transmit and receive coil in testing process, but does not directly contact patient's body.The interference factor that is subjected in the checking process is fewer, and the repdocutbility of image is very good, stable image quality.
And B ultrasound imaging inspection instrument majority commonly used at present can only provide two dimensional image, and resolution is clear not as magnetic resonance, and some trickle part of lesions position tissue is not easy in sight.Ultrasonoscopy is subjected to the influence of factors such as human body Endoskeleton, gas easily.Must consider pendulum position, posture, the location status of human body during detection, the applying between ultrasonic probe and the skin, multiple factors such as the angle of probe.Because interference factor is many, in ultrasonic real-time testing process, the picture quality instability.
(2) guiding aspect in real time, nuclear magnetic resonance is better than ultra sonic imaging
Present common extracorporeal high energy focusing ultrasonic therapy system, the control of its focus point locus obtains by the motion of focus ultrasonic transmitter.The used focus supersonic of extracorporeal high energy focusing ultrasonic therapy system is that three-dimensional energy focuses on.Promptly in a sense cycle, focus on emitted energy with the energy focusing ultrasonic-high emitter earlier, stop the back and guide the ultrasound detection therapentic part, obtain reflecting the image of therapeutic effect with two dimensional image.A sense cycle is followed another sense cycle, goes round and begins again. and in a sense cycle, generally being used for the energy focusing ultrasonic-high emitter, to focus on time of emission long and time two dimension guiding ultrasound detection image is short.In the practical work process, the interference ratio between three-dimensional energy focus supersonic and two dimensional image guiding are ultrasonic is more serious, and some image does not really reflect therapeutic effect, and two dimensional image is guided the ultrasonic real real-time guiding that do not reach.
And the magnetic resonant imaging examination process is different with the energy emission process principle of focus supersonic, does not disturb mutually during work.The therapeutic effect of focus area can be observed and judge to the image taking speed of magnetic resonance fast-pulse sequence especially can at little region of interest (ROI) slice rapidly and accurately than very fast, helps the evaluation to tumor tissues irreversible transition (necrocytosis).By magnetic resonance can interactive real time the energy and action time in the burnt territory of control energy focusing ultrasonic-high.Reach and promptly destroy tumor tissues, do not damage the purpose of normal surrounding tissue again.
In the process of magnetic resonance guiding extracorporeal high energy focusing ultrasonic therapy system, magnetic resonance provides the supervision of focal position and the control of ultrasonic energy.Have only slight temperature rise when focus place energy is relatively low, the bootable focus of magnetic resonance image (MRI) that obtain this moment is positioned on the tumor tissues.After finishing, the focus location improves ultrasonic energy, the kill tumor cell.Tissue protein degeneration after the tumor cell thermocoagulation, reach uniform temperature after, in-house moisture content has gasification, thereby causes tissue density and other changes of properties.These variations can be caught and reflect to nuclear magnetic resonance sensitivity, clear quickly and accurately.Multipath information extraction, monitoring in real time.
(3) real-time noinvasive thermometric aspect, magnetic resonance is better than ultrasonic temperature measurement
The parameter of nuclear magnetic resonance (for example T1, disperse and chemical shift etc.) changes responsive to tissue temperature, the real-time three-dimensional high-definition picture of variations in temperature in the time of can providing heat effect.When temperature surpasses 41 ℃ of high temperature, but the signal of magnetic resonance record organization protein denaturation (solidifying).Realization is to the measurement of target normal surrounding tissue transient temperature.The thermometric of magnetic resonance equipment is very sensitive, and temperature measurement accuracy can reach 1 ℃, and the information of the temperature field that can accurately be reflected distribution.And ultrasonicly be difficult to accomplish this point at present.

In a preferred implementation, two energy focusing ultrasonic-high emitters adopt the same set of degassing to purify waste water to produce and delivery pipeline system production, filtration and the supply degassing are purified waste water up and down, are gone up water, draining and are stopped water supply by the control system decision according to instructions for use.Be used to supply the requirement that pipe-line system that the degassing purifies waste water should satisfy seal request and magnetic resonance imaging process, do not omit liquid corrosion magnet system, do not influence magnetic field homogeneity range and magnetic resonance imaging process.The degassing transfer pipeline of purifying waste water is communicated with and is positioned at the outer degassing of magnet scanning room and purifies waste water and handle two energy focusing ultrasonic-high emitters up and down of cabinet and magnet scanning room, passes the magnet scanning room and conducts panel and enter the magnet scanning room.Its pipeline in the magnet scanning room is divided into two parts, and a part of pipeline is attached in the hanger mechanism of top energy focusing ultrasonic-high emitter, and moves with hanger mechanism.The mechanical movement of hanger mechanism does not impact the purify waste water normal operation of pipe-line system of the degassing.Another part pipeline is attached in the examinating couch second of holding bottom energy focusing ultrasonic-high emitter, and moves with examinating couch second.The mechanical movement of examinating couch second should not impact the purify waste water normal operation of pipe-line system of the degassing.
Water circuit system keeps the cleaning of whole pipeline, prevent that those metal particles that contain ferromagnetism compositions such as ferrum, cobalt, nickel that produce in manufacturing and work process enter Water hermetic flexible water pocket (or water tank) in the pipe-line system.These microgranules not only can constitute influence, scanogram is produced pseudo-shadow interference magnetic field homogeneity, but also might puncture hermetic flexible water pocket (or fexible film), cause the leakage accident of purifying waste water that outgases, injure the patient who carries out the energy focusing ultrasonic-high treatment and damage magnetic resonance system.
Launch, the present invention has emphasized requirement of water circuit system cleanliness factor and relevant technology implementation measure.In an exemplary specific embodiment, the multilamellar degassing that the high density filter element the constitutes filtering and purifying of purifying waste water has obtained successful application.In addition, the degassing that is arranged in water source outside the magnet scanning room and the water treatment cabinet magnetization filtering adsorpting device of purifying waste water also is proved to be effective water treatment measure.These 2 have constituted the basis that the degassing is purified waste water and stablized, uses safely in the design.
According to the present invention, can use top or bottom focus ultrasonic transmitter separately, can image guidedly carry out dorsal position or ventricumbent position treatment to the patient down and therapeutic process is monitored, the curative effect inspection accurate.Thereby enlarged the treatable indication scope of extracorporeal high energy focusing ultrasonic.When not using focus ultrasonic transmitter, magnetic resonance system can also carry out independently carrying out image scanning.
With the examinating couch first that the top focus ultrasonic transmitter is used, it is characterized in that it is that one pair of height dimension is fixed, simple in structure, stretcher cheaply.The patient that it mainly carries the good radio-frequency transmissions/receiving coil of health arranged outside enters the even sample area of magnet and is fixed on the operating position.
In addition, as the more intense patient's bearing system of mobility, this can carry conversion and the prescription on individual diagnosis of the transfer in hospital environment, for example X-ray machine image check, gamma camera image check, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, microwave heat therapeutic, radio-frequency (RF) thermotherapeutic, surgical operation etc. that the patient carries out the inspection of different images section purpose, different therapeutic modalities.
This is to based on the magnet scanning room that meets the electromagnetic shielding requirement of the present invention, increase equipment, enlarged-area, the comprehensive consulting room that is improved to multiple diagnosis and treatment means such as comprising nuclear magnetic resonance image real-time inspection, extracorporeal high energy focusing ultrasonic treatment, surgical operation is very useful, is an important vehicle that constitutes this system.
With the examinating couch second that the bottom focus ultrasonic transmitter is used, it is characterized in that it has contained bottom energy focusing ultrasonic-high emitter and movement support device thereof, the degassing purify waste water coupling and device etc.When not needing to use bottom energy focusing ultrasonic-high emitter, examinating couch second can be released from the magnet working region, change the examinating couch first and cooperate top energy focusing ultrasonic-high emitter work or only the patient is done independently nuclear magnetic resonance image inspection.
When top energy focusing ultrasonic-high emitter is worked, can be used with the examinating couch first, the examinating couch second after also can quitting work with bottom energy focusing ultrasonic-high emitter is used.When bottom energy focusing ultrasonic-high emitter was worked, the top general integral body of energy focusing ultrasonic-high emitter shifted out magnet areas.To strengthen the openness of therapy system, reduce patient's fear of confined spaces sense.
