Refer to shown in Fig. 3, the step of deforming the method warned for lamella described herein is as follows:
Step S31, in system calibration, the field figure of gradient fields is obtained, according to field figure and the gradient fields threshold calculations of setting
Go out gradient fields approximately linear area.
The field figure of the gradient fields is generally when dispatching from the factory, after magnetic resonance imaging system calibration debugging or in the magnetic resonance
The field figure of the gradient fields obtained after imaging system maintenance and debugging.
The gradient fields approximately linear area, which can simplify, is modeled as relatively regular shape such as ellipsoid shape, can also model
Into less regular shape, such as approximate ellipsoid shape.
The threshold value can be configured as system configuration item.
Step S32, Scan orientation picture simultaneously load the lamella group positioning reference for follow up scan, open follow up scan association
View, calculate the intersection in the gradient fields approximately linear area and the positioning picture and mark.
The scan protocols typically have the related personnel such as technician or doctor to set as the case may be.
Step S33, lamella orientation and visual field size are determined according to the parameter of the setting of the scan protocols, according to the information with
And whether the lamella that gradient fields approximately linear area is calculated in the lamella group is located within deformation tolerance interval, will not fall within described
Lamella in tolerance interval puts the mark code of " may deform " in scan protocols.
The parameter setting criterion has following several ways:" gradient fields approximately linear area is fallen into based on the lamella visual field and accounts for this
The percentage in the lamella visual field is less than the threshold value set " or " based on the lamella visual field with new after the scaling certain proportion of its center
Region do not fall completely within gradient fields approximately linear area ".
In the first way, gradient fields approximately linear area and the intersection of plane where the lamella are first calculated, based on the friendship
Line and the size in the lamella visual field, calculate the lamella visual field and fall into the lamella visual field shared by the region in gradient fields approximately linear area
Percentage, the mark code of " may deform " if the percentage is less than given threshold, is put in the protocol.
Refer to shown in Fig. 4, gradient field wire approximation area 402 and the area of the region lap 403 in the lamella visual field 401
The area in the lamella visual field 401 is accounted for if less than threshold value, then is denoted as " may deform " for the lamella in protocol parameter.In this reality
Apply in example, the threshold value is 80%, and in other embodiments, the threshold value can also be more than 80%.The approximately linear of the gradient fields
Area 402 is ellipsoid shape, what the center in the lamella visual field 401 was intersected with the lamella and the gradient fields approximately linear area 402
The center superposition in region.
In the second way, new region is produced with the ratio that lamella visual field scaling is specified, if the new area
At least one summit in domain is located at outside the gradient fields approximately linear area, then " may become the piece stratification in scan protocols
The mark code of shape ".
Refer to shown in Fig. 5, with the new region 503 obtained after the center scaling certain proportion in the lamella visual field 501, judge
Whether four summits in new region 503 are entirely located in gradient fields approximately linear area 502.If new region 503 has at least
One summit is located at outside gradient fields approximately linear area 502, then puts the mark code of " may deform " in the protocol.In the present embodiment
In, the ratio that sets is two orthogonal sides in the lamella visual field 501 according to identical proportional zoom, the contracting of each edge scaling
Ratio is put as 90%~100%.The approximately linear area 502 of the gradient fields is ellipsoid shape, in the lamella visual field 501
The center superposition in the region that the heart intersects with the lamella and the gradient fields approximately linear area 502, the center in the new region 503 with
The center superposition in the lamella visual field.
Step S34, judges whether the direction, position and visual field size of the lamella group change, when changing, weight
Multiple step S33.
Step S35, in scanning imagery, the image acquired in lamella that will do not fallen within tolerance interval adds the lamella
The mark code of " may deform ".By the sign parameter be stored in scanning obtain result images on the sign should be in image transmitting mistake
It is not lost in journey.
Should " may deformation " mark code can use "!" either other letter characters or figure indicate.
One embodiment of the present invention is the foregoing is only, is not all of or unique embodiment, this area is common
Technical staff is the present invention by reading description of the invention any equivalent change for taking technical solution of the present invention
Claim covered.
