Description

The permanent-magnet and the manufacture method thereof that are used for magnetic resonance imaging
Technical field
The present invention relates to magnetic resonance imaging system, particularly a kind of permanent-magnet and manufacture method thereof that is used for magnetic resonance imaging.
Background technology
Magnetic resonance imaging can provide high spatial resolution, unlimited penetration depth and very good soft tissue contrast, and dissection location, splendid space, so magnetic resonance imaging has the incomparable advantage of other iconography technology.Novel magnetic resonance imaging requires higher magnetic field intensity, higher spatial resolution.For improving magnetic field intensity, superconducting magnet is a selection beyond doubt.But superconducting magnet manufacturing, operation and maintenance cost height.Permanent-magnet is lower because of its reliable operation, price, does not need auxiliary device, and operation and maintenance are simple, and advantages such as energy savings more and more obtain paying attention to.
Conventional permanent-magnet can be divided into two big classes: open and closed.Wherein the typical case of open magnet representative is a C type magnet; The type that closed magnet comprises is more, and " mouth " font, upright post type, " worker " font, ball-type, column type or the like are arranged.Compare with open magnet, closed magnet exists magnetic field good stability, uniformity coefficient height, leakage field is little and advantages such as simple are made in installation.The principle that magnet design is followed is: field intensity is high as far as possible; Magnetic field is even as far as possible; Do not allow obvious leakage field; Weight is light as far as possible.Therefore, we at first consider to adopt enclosed construction design magnet.Traditional closed-in construction magnet is made of yoke, main magnetic patch and pole-face.Because edge effect have only the air gap center can obtain magnetic field of high uniformity, and magnetic field, air gap marginarium is uneven.In order to obtain unevenness less than 10 among a small circle in the air gap center -4Magnetic field of high uniformity, the ratio of pole-face width and air gap height need reach 4-8, promptly magnet need be done very greatly.In order to reduce the magnet cost, 1984, U.S. Field Effect company developed a kind of follow-on permanent-magnet.It is to be combined into a polygon toroidal magnet with the some different trapezoidal magnetic patch of direction of magnetization, and ring inside is the air gap district.Because without yoke, this magnet weight is lighter, the consumption of magnetic patch material also is lower than above-mentioned common permanent-magnet.But because the direction of magnetization difference in each trapezoidal magnetic patch, processing and manufacturing is difficulty relatively.And the working point is inconsistent everywhere in the magnetic patch, and many magnetic patch are in the less working point of magnetic energy level, thereby the consumption of magnetic patch material is still quite big.Chinese patent CN85103498 is the improvement structure of the common frame magnet that the iron yoke is arranged.This structure has adopted the polygon toroidal magnet structure of U.S. Field Effect company, kept magnetic patch simple shape in the common permanent-magnet structure (mostly being square and triangle), be convenient to processing and manufacturing, have shaped as frame yoke formation closed magnetic path thereby magnetic flux can not drain to advantages such as yoke outside.Compare with common permanent-magnet structure, increased leak stopping magnetic patch and side magnetic patch, improved the magnetic field homogeneity at air gap place.The permanent-magnet that is applied to magnetic resonance imaging the earliest is the QED Beta 3000 that U.S. Fonar company manufactures and designs, and its work magnetic is close to be 3000 Gausses, is magnetic source with permanent magnetic ferrites material, and gross weight almost reaches 100 tons.Calculate according to relevant law of magnetism, if when adopting the close magnet of the QED Beta 3000 of Chinese patent CN85103498 manufacturing technology index and Fonar company, estimate that gross weight will be above 60 tons, absolute weight is still very big, and owing to added side magnetic patch and leak stopping magnetic patch, the processing of magnet and installation are complicated more.Chinese patent CN1042795 is the structure of another improved iron-free yoke, adopts the strontium calcium ferrite as magnetic source, and magnetic is close when being 1500 Gausses, and weight reaches 9 tons, but the stray field scope is bigger.The another kind of magnet of medical college of New York University development (see IEEE Transaction on Magnetics, Vol.Mag-25, No.5, P3904-3906) assembled by the permanent magnets of difformity, different magnetizing directions, processing and installation are all very complicated.Though Chinese patent 200420009046.1 and 200420047676.8 all is an enclosed construction, field intensity all is difficult to the level that reaches higher.
In this class magnet, relatively more classical magnet structure is Halbach.In the Halbach structure, the magnetic direction of each piece magnet steel is all followed in theory
Figure A20081011228900041
Distribute.This structure is very practical and economical, basically routine replaced low electromagnet (<1.8T), especially be fit to the small-sized magnet of Design Laboratory.It is B that the magnetic field intensity of Halbach cylindrical magnets is calculated formula Z0Mlog (R Ext/ R Int), the magnetic field intensity of ball-type magnet is calculated formula and is B Z = 4 3 μ 0 · M · log ( R ext / R int ) , From formula as can be seen, no matter column type or ball-type, the field intensity of this magnet can reach infinitely great in theory.But in fact, because permanent magnetic material works in degree of depth magnetic saturation and second quadrant demagnetization part of the back magnetic hysteresis loop that magnetizes, when field intensity reach a certain height, magnet can suffer the strong demagnetizing effect of magnetic material high-coercive force, finally field intensity is limited in about about 2.5T, even does not reach 2T.Obviously this traditional permanent-magnet design is difficult to further improve magnetic field intensity.
