Nuclear magnetic resonance (Magnetic Resonance Imaging, MRI) also NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance)-imaging is claimed, be the FA modern medicine imaging technique of one produced along with the development of cryogenic technique, superconductor technology, magnet technology, electronic technology and computer technology, be widely used in big-and-middle-sized hospital.
Human body about 70% is made up of water, and each hydrone has two protons (i.e. proton).When human body is placed in high-intensity magnetic field, in human body, the spin of a part of proton can along the direction orientation of this high-intensity magnetic field.Now, human body is irradiated with suitable radio frequency electromagnetic (namely there is the electromagnetic wave of resonant frequency), the spin of the proton along described high-intensity magnetic field direction orientation can be made to reverse, and after having cancelled this radio frequency electromagnetic, the proton that spin there occurs reversion can return to original state, namely return to the state of spin along described high-intensity magnetic field direction orientation, give off the photon (i.e. magnetic resonance signal) of certain energy simultaneously.The intensity of these photons is relevant with proton density, and the moisture content of various tissue is different in human body, namely the density of contained proton is different, therefore, by detecting and analyzing the Energy distribution of the photon that these protons give off, just by various tissue separately, thus the accurate stereo-picture of inside of human body can be obtained.Further, if superpose suitable gradient magnetic on described uniform high-intensity magnetic field, then the spatial resolution of obtained image can greatly be improved.
MRI system generally comprises superconducting magnet subsystem, gradient subsystem, Radio Frequency Subsystem, Computer Image Processing subsystem, patient bed and control device etc.Wherein, superconducting magnet subsystem can provide uniform high-intensity magnetic field; Gradient subsystem can produce the suitable gradient magnetic be superimposed upon on described uniform strong magnetic field; Radio Frequency Subsystem can produce short and strong radio-frequency electromagnetic pulse, receives the magnetic resonance signal of human body generation and export the analog electrical signal corresponding with it; Computer Image Processing subsystem converts the analogue signal that Radio Frequency Subsystem exports to digital signal, draws the view data of aspect, and demonstrate the image of observation aspect by different tonal gradations according to the corresponding relation of itself and each voxel of anthroposcopy aspect; Patient bed and control device is then for moving to patient in described magnetic field to scan.
Patient bed control device moves patient bed by controlling rotating and reverse of patient bed horizontal motor and patient bed motor vertical, makes the position to be scanned of patient accurately arrive precalculated position.
Fig. 1 is circuit diagram, and one that shows existing patient bed control device simplifies circuit structure.As shown in Figure 1, the patient bed control device of existing one includes but not limited to: converter 10, low pass filter 20, horizontal solid-state relay 30, vertical solid-state relay 40 and main control unit 50.The input of converter 10 is electrically connected with constant voltage constant frequency alternating current power supply 200, the outfan of converter 10 is electrically connected with the input of low pass filter 20, the outfan of low pass filter 20 is electrically connected with patient bed horizontal motor 301 by horizontal solid-state relay 30, the outfan of low pass filter 20 is also electrically connected with patient bed motor vertical 302 by vertical solid-state relay 40, main control unit 50 is electrically connected with vertical solid-state relay 40, in order to control it with converter 10, horizontal solid-state relay 30 respectively.
Converter 10 is a kind of devices voltage and the changeless alternating current of frequency (alternating current of such as 220V/50Hz) being converted to the alternating current of voltage or changeable frequency.Under the control of main control unit 50 (as shown in the dotted line 11 in Fig. 1), the alternating current of the voltage that alternating current power supply 200 provides by converter 10 and frequency-invariant is converted to the alternating current of voltage or frequency-adjustable.When the alternating current of voltage or frequency-adjustable is supplied to motor, the rotating speed of motor is just thereupon adjustable.
Low pass filter 20 is used for suppressing the high-frequency noise in the alternating current that exports of converter 10.
Horizontal solid-state relay 30 is a kind of noncontacting switches with vertical solid-state relay 40, keeps the state of " leading to " or " breaking " under the control (as shown in the dotted line 31 in Fig. 1 and dotted line 41) of main control unit 50.When horizontal solid-state relay 30 is in the state of " leading to ", the voltage that low pass filter 20 exports or the alternating current of frequency-adjustable will be applied on patient bed horizontal motor 301, thus make patient bedly to move in the controlled mode of speed and direction in the horizontal direction.In like manner, when vertical solid-state relay 40 is in the state of " leading to ", the voltage that low pass filter 20 exports or the alternating current of frequency-adjustable will be applied on patient bed motor vertical 302, thus make patient bedly to move in the controlled mode of speed and direction in vertical direction.When horizontal solid-state relay 30 or vertical solid-state relay 40 are in the state of " breaking ", correspondingly, patient bed horizontal motor 301 or patient bed motor vertical 302 just stop operating.
It is an interference source that the operation principle of the converter 10 in existing patient bed control device determines it to weak electric signal.When converter 10 powers on, even without electric current output, (namely horizontal solid-state relay 30 disconnects with vertical solid-state relay 40, patient bed horizontal motor 301 and patient bed motor vertical 302 stop operating), also can find with after near field probes test, have the noise of 0 ~ 40MHz in the port of converter 10, its intensity is about 70mdB.Because the magnetic resonance signal of MRI system is extremely faint, therefore, the noise of converter 10 conciliates the raw very large interference of division to the reception of magnetic resonance signal, thus cause occurring bright line or bright spot on MRI image, these bright lines or bright spot can reduce the signal to noise ratio of image, thus cause the reception of magnetic resonance signal or the failure of parsing or cause doctor to the erroneous judgement of image.
In order to the impact that the noise reducing converter 10 produces each equipment in MRI system, usually at input and the outfan installation magnet ring of converter 10, to absorb the high-frequency noise of the port of converter 10, but the intensity of noise in 0 ~ 5MHz frequency range is still about 70mdB.In addition, high-frequency noise in the alternating current that low pass filter 20 can suppress converter 10 to export is set, the collection of the noise jamming magnetic resonance signal in the forceful electric power of the driving three phase electric machine exported to prevent converter 10 and parsing and disturb the normal work of other device.Moreover, the metal protective case ITT adapter that 360 ° can be adopted to shield at the seam of the interlock circuit of converter 10.But the interference that the noise that above-mentioned measure still can not eradicate converter 10 is completely formed MRI image.
