?
[technical field]
The present invention relates to nuclear magnetic resonance field, relate in particular to a kind of MRI scan method and device.
[background technology]
For magnetic resonance imaging system, the uniformity of magnetic field of magnet center is best, imaging effect the best, and therefore, in the time that magnetic resonance imaging scans, operator can move on to magnet center by mobile magnetic resonance sick bed by the position of needs of patients inspection and check.At present patient scan position is moved to magnet center and conventionally has following two kinds of methods:
1, laser lamp cross method, as shown in Figure 1, first operator opens cross laser lamp (1 in Fig. 1 is laser lamp) outward at magnet, by " move/stopping " operation that moves bed apparatus on equipment, the region of needs of patients scanning is moved to the indicated position of laser lamp, system can be remembered the position that laser lamp is demarcated, and operator moves to the position of laser lamp scanning demarcation by confirming to move into device on equipment the center of magnet.Detailed process is as follows:
1) will be scanned object and be put to sick bed, be put the required local coil of scanning at patient's scanning position interested with it;
2) by Position Approximate under control panel control sick bed forward/backward alignment laser lamp;
3) remind and be scanned object and close one's eyes and prevent from burning, open laser lamp, the cross that continues to penetrate by control panel control sick bed forward/backward and by laser lamp is alignd with scanning area interested;
4) close laser lamp and trigger into bed, because laser lamp and magnetic field center distance are constant, now system can move into equidistant by sick bed by issuing command, makes scanning area interested be placed in magnetic field center;
5) picture is located in function software scanning for the first time, and this time scanning position is not containing left/right directional information;
6) scanning imagery is loaded on interface, software location for the first time, and motion scan section (2 in Fig. 2 is scan slice) position is found left/right correspondence position and located for the second time picture scanning;
7) carry out formal clinical scanning according to location picture.
2, edge of bed labelling method, as shown in Figure 3, the left and right parallel lines joint by Fingers fixed bed along corresponding interested position, by calculating the relative position of this point and magnetic field center, Mobile sickbed arrives magnetic field center.Detailed process is as follows:
1) will be scanned object and put to sick bed, put the required local coil of scanning at patient's scanning position interested with it;
2) can touch anchor point (3 in Fig. 3 is for touching anchor point) with hands click sick bed and interested position correspondence position;
3) screen will show that click location information allows operator confirm, clicks and confirms that rear system is by calculating this point and magnetic field center distance, and Mobile sickbed makes scanning area interested be placed in magnetic field center;
4) picture is located in function software scanning for the first time, and this time scanning position is not containing left/right directional information;
5) scanning imagery is loaded on interface, software location for the first time, and the position of motion scan section (in Fig. 4,4 is scan slice) is found left/right correspondence position and located for the second time picture scanning;
6) carry out formal clinical scanning according to location picture.
As mentioned above, two kinds of localization methods in scanning process all need by area-of-interest being moved to magnet center on the axis of left and right directions, then obtain the location picture of location for the first time by prescan, look like to locate for the second time according to the location of locating for the first time, i.e. mobile area-of-interest on the axis of left and right directions, make it and be placed in magnet center completely, just can start to carry out afterwards formal clinical scanning.Therefore, cannot successfully locate area-of-interest by the process of once-through operation in the prior art, relatively flow process is loaded down with trivial details in operation.
On the other hand, there is the risk of blinding to eyes in the laser lamp itself that laser lamp cross method is used in position fixing process, although edge of bed telltale mark method does not have laser lamp blinding risk, but in operating process, need human eye to judge the corresponding edge of bed contact position of area-of-interest, therefore on fore-and-aft direction, have certain error.

[detailed description of the invention]
For above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, feature and advantage can more be become apparent, below in conjunction with drawings and Examples, the specific embodiment of the present invention is described in detail.
Set forth in the following description a lot of details so that fully understand the present invention, but the present invention can also adopt other to be different from embodiment described here, therefore the present invention is not subject to the restriction of following public specific embodiment.
Just as described in the background art, in nuclear magnetic resonance process, in prior art, be scanned the localization method of object, cannot in once-through operation process, complete the location to being scanned object area-of-interest, operating process is loaded down with trivial details, also there is certain risk to being scanned object in laser lamp cross method wherein, and edge of bed location need to judge the corresponding edge of bed contact position in position to be scanned by human eye, has certain deviation.Therefore in order to address the above problem, the invention provides a kind of MRI scan method and device.
As shown in Figure 7, a kind of MRI scan method, comprises the steps:
Step S10, is scanned object top view on one's sick bed after obtaining pendulum position, described in be scanned object area-of-interest be set up telltale mark.
As shown in Figure 5, being scanned the object pendulum position stage, telltale mark 5 is positioned over to the area-of-interest that is scanned object, area-of-interest refers to position to be scanned (being scanned the affected part of object).Telltale mark be can naked eyes the solid of identification, such as plastic disc etc.
Be scanned object and put top view on one's sick bed by being arranged on the photographic head 6 being scanned directly over object, getting.
Step S20, according to described top view and telltale mark, calculates described telltale mark and the distance a of magnet center on fore-and-aft direction and the distance b on left and right directions by known size and proportionate relationship.
As shown in Figure 6, described apart from a be telltale mark 5 on fore-and-aft direction with the distance of magnet center 8, distance b be telltale mark 5 on left and right directions with the distance of magnet center 8.
Described known size and proportionate relationship comprise, the length L 1 of sick bed, magnet center to telltale mark in the distance L 2 of the first side of described hospital bed place plane, described top view to the head of a bed one distance of side place plane and in the ratio X 1 of sick bed length, the width W of sick bed, described top view telltale mark to the distance of vertical plane and the ratio X 2 of sick bed width at described sick bed fore-and-aft direction axis place, a=L1*X1+L2, b=W*X2.The length and width of sick bed are known, pass through obtained top view, can show that telltale mark is to the head of a bed one distance of side place plane and the ratio X 1 of sick bed length, in described top view, telltale mark is to the distance of vertical plane and the ratio X 2 of sick bed width at described sick bed fore-and-aft direction axis place.
Certainly, described known size and proportionate relationship, also have other computational methods, such as adopting image distortion correction reference marker as described below to calculate, as shown in Figure 6, distance between reference marker 9a and 9b and magnet center are known to the distance of the plane perpendicular to sick bed at reference marker 9a and 9c place, can draw telltale mark 5 ratio to the distance between distance and 9a and the 9b of the plane perpendicular to sick bed at reference marker 9a and 9c place by top view, above-mentioned can calculate described apart from a; The distance of reference marker 9a and 9c is known, can show that by top view telltale mark 5 is to the distance of vertical plane at described sick bed fore-and-aft direction axis place and the ratio of the distance of reference marker 9a and 9c, above-mentionedly can calculate described distance b.
Step S30,, scans being provided with described specifically labelled area-of-interest apart from a and distance b according to described.
In one embodiment, according to described apart from a and distance b, be specially being provided with the step that specifically labelled area-of-interest scans: according to described apart from a and distance b, described telltale mark is moved to described magnet center, scan being provided with described specifically labelled area-of-interest.
Wherein, telltale mark is moved to the concrete steps of magnet center as follows:
Described telltale mark is moved on the axis of described magnet center left and right directions apart from a according to described, and then will be scanned object according to described distance b and move on described axis, described telltale mark is overlapped with magnet center.
Or according to described distance b, described telltale mark is moved on the axis of described magnet center fore-and-aft direction, and then will be scanned object apart from a and move on described axis according to described, described telltale mark is overlapped with magnet center.
The Distribution of Magnetic Field uniformity of magnet center is best, it is above-mentioned that area-of-interest is moved to magnet center scans is perfect condition, but in reality, be subject to the restriction of magnet aperture size, sick bed can not at random move on left and right directions, and a major axis taking magnet center as the centre of sphere all can meet the requirement of nuclear magnetic resonance as the uniformity of magnetic field of the spheroid inside of 50cm, therefore generally sick bed does not move on left and right directions, as long as area-of-interest is positioned at spheroid inside, the more specific location information of determining area-of-interest can scan afterwards, detailed process is as follows: described telltale mark is moved on the axis at described magnet center left and right directions place apart from a according to described, determine the particular location of area-of-interest according to described distance b, area-of-interest after determining is scanned.
In another embodiment, as shown in Figure 8, before step S20, also comprise step S40: described top view is carried out to image distortion correction.
In order to obtain relatively large top view, the photographic head that is arranged on sick bed top is general relatively near with the distance that is scanned object, the image getting is understood some distortion, and the distance of therefore calculating in described telltale mark and magnet needs object top view to carry out image distortion correction before.Particularly, can carry out anamorphose distortion correction by the reference marker 9 in described top view.Described reference marker is at least three, form reference plane, in the present embodiment, preferably, as shown in Figure 6, adopt four reference markers, lay respectively at the left and right sides or the both sides, front and back of described sick bed, form a rectangle parallel with sick bed or square reference plane, the projection of described reference plane covers position to be scanned.Certainly, reference marker also can be arranged on described sick bed sick bed frame around, in the process of scanning, reference marker is along with sick bed moves, start not to be set up specifically labelled position if operator also wants to scan certain, and reference marker form reference plane can cover current need scanning position, a telltale mark can be set again, obtain new top view, can carry out aforesaid operations.
It should be noted that, reference marker might not be the position arranging in Fig. 6, as long as meet the following conditions: the reference plane that 1, described reference marker forms are parallel with described sick bed, and 2, the projection of described reference plane will can cover position to be scanned.
In actual nuclear magnetic resonance process, often need multiple location to scan, therefore can, being scanned the object pendulum position stage, at different area-of-interest (centers at different positions to be scanned), telltale mark be set simultaneously.As shown in Figure 6, such as a total N position needs to scan, at least N telltale mark is set, when scanning the n(n≤N) when individual position to be scanned, n telltale mark moved to magnet center.In the time carrying out multiple location scanning, can calculate the distance b on distance a and the left and right directions on fore-and-aft direction of first telltale mark and magnet center, remaining is all the distance on telltale mark and distance and the left and right directions of a upper telltale mark having scanned on fore-and-aft direction calculating on position to be scanned.
