A kind of Meta Materials and MRI magnetic signal enhancement device
Technical field
The present invention relates to MRI technical field of imaging, more particularly to a kind of magnetic signal enhancing device being imaged for MRI.
Background technology
At present, international community is to existing substantial amounts of research in terms of magnetic conductivity, wherein the research for positive magnetic conductivity has become In maturation, the research for negative-magnetic-permeability meta-material is the present focus studied both at home and abroad, and negative magnetoconductivity has quantum polarization work With, polarization can be produced to incidence wave, therefore sphere of action is very big, the magnetic resonance imaging skill such as in medical imaging field Art, negative magnetic-inductive capacity material can strengthen the imaging effect of electromagnetic wave, and negative magnetic-inductive capacity material also has weight in terms of lens research in addition Act on, in engineering field, magnetic conductivity, generally all referring to relative permeability, is the absolute permeability μ and magnetic constant μ of material0 The ratio of (also known as space permeability), μr=μ/μ0, dimensionless number.Generally " relative " two word and symbol subscript r is all removed.Magnetic Conductance is when representing that material is acted on by magnetizing field H, internal increase (μ > 1) of the true magnetic field relative to H or reduces (μ < 1) Degree.So far in the already present material of nature found, μ will be generally above 0.The geometry of existing magnetic micro-structure For I-shaped or the open annular of similar concave as shown in Figure 1, but both structures can not all realize magnetic permeability μ It is significantly less than 0 or reduces meta-material resonant frequency, only by designing the magnetic micro-structure with special geometric figure, ability The artificial electromagnetic material is set to reach that magnetic permeability μ value is less than 0 in special frequency channel, and with relatively low resonant frequency.
The principle of nuclear magnetic resonance (MRI) imaging system be using coil go detect nuclear spin absorb and transmitting it is wireless Electric wave pulse energy, the coil is sometimes also being used as transmitting coil simultaneously as receiving coil.In radio wave pulses energy With the help of amount, Magnetic resonance imaging scanner can position in patient's body a very small point, it is then determined which kind of this is The tissue of type.Magnetic resonance imaging machine device uses the radio frequency pulse specific to hydrogen atom.System guides pulse is aligned The body region to be checked, and cause the region proton uptake make they rotate in different directions or precession needed for energy Amount.This is NMR imaging device " resonance " part.Radio frequency pulse forces them (to refer to many in every 1,000,000 proton Remaining a pair or two pairs of unmatched protons) rotated under specific frequency according to specific direction.Trigger the specific frequency of resonance It is referred to as Rameau that frequency, the value is to calculate to draw according to the particular organization to be imaged and the magnetic field intensity of main field.Nothing Line electricity frequency pulse is generally provided using a coil, and the coil is referred to as transmitting coil.Existing magnetic resonance imaging device Receiving coil must quite near-earth be close to detected part, to obtain the magnetic signal discharged by detected part.
Meta Materials refer to that some have the artificial composite structure of the extraordinary physical property not available for natural material or compound Material.By the structurally ordered design on the key physical yardstick of material, the limitation of some apparent natural laws can be broken through, So as to obtain the meta-materials function beyond the intrinsic common property of nature.The property and function of Meta Materials mostly come from it Internal structure rather than constitute their material.At present, the geometry of existing metal man-made microstructure be I-shaped or The open annular of person's similar concave as shown in Figure 1, but this structure can not all realize that magnetic permeability μ is significantly less than 0 or makes to surpass Material resonances frequency is reduced, and can not realize isotropism, only artificial micro- by designing the metal with special geometric figure Structure, could cause the artificial electromagnetic material to reach that magnetic permeability μ value is less than 0 in special frequency channel, and with relatively low resonance frequency Rate.
