MRI scan method and device
【Technical field】
The present invention relates to magnetic resonance imaging arts more particularly to a kind of MRI scan method and devices.
【Background technology】
For magnetic resonance imaging system, the uniformity of magnetic field of magnet center is best, and imaging effect is best, therefore in magnetic resonance
When imaging scans, the position that patient's needs check can be moved on to magnet center by mobile magnetic resonance sick bed and examined again by operator
It looks into.Patient scan position, which is moved to magnet center usually, at present following two methods:
1, laser lamp cross method, as shown in Figure 1, operator opens cross laser lamp first outside magnet(1 in Fig. 1
For laser lamp), need the region scanned to be moved to laser patient by " movement/stopping " operation of the shifting bed apparatus in equipment
Position indicated by lamp, system can remember the position that laser lamp is demarcated, and operator is by confirming that moving into device will swash in equipment
The position of light lamp scanning calibration is moved to the center of magnet.Detailed process is as follows:
1)It will be put to sick bed by scanned object, and put the scanning position interested with patient of the local coil needed for scanning
It sets;
2)Position Approximate under the forward/backward alignment laser lamp of sick bed is controlled by control panel;
3)Remind be scanned object eye closing prevent from burning, open laser lamp, continue through control panel control sick bed advance/
It retreats and is aligned the cross that laser lamp projects with scanning area interested;
4)It closes laser lamp simultaneously to trigger into bed, because laser lamp and magnetic field center, apart from constant, system can be issued and refer at this time
Order allows sick bed to move into equidistant, and scanning area interested is enabled to be placed in magnetic field center;
5)Positioning picture, this scan position are free of left/right directional information for the first time for operating software scanning;
6)First time scanning imagery is loaded onto software locating interface, motion scan slice(2 in Fig. 2 be scan slice)
It finds left/right corresponding position and carries out second of positioning as scanning in position;
7)According to positioning as carrying out formal clinical scanning.
2, edge of bed labelling method, as shown in figure 3, the left and right parallel lines by Fingers fixed bed along corresponding interested position cross
Point, by calculating the relative position of this point and magnetic field center, Mobile sickbed reaches magnetic field center.Detailed process is as follows:
1)Scanned object is put to sick bed, the scanning position interested with patient of the local coil needed for scanning is put
It sets;
2)Anchor point can be touched by clicking sick bed and interested position corresponding position with hand(3 in Fig. 3 be that can touch anchor point);
3)Screen will show that click location information allows operator to confirm, system is by calculating this point and magnetic after clicking confirmation
Field centre distance, Mobile sickbed enable scanning area interested be placed in magnetic field center;
4)Positioning picture, this scan position are free of left/right directional information for the first time for operating software scanning;
5)First time scanning imagery is loaded onto software locating interface, motion scan slice(4 be scan slice in Fig. 4)'s
It finds left/right corresponding position and carries out second of positioning as scanning in position;
6)According to positioning as carrying out formal clinical scanning.
As described above, two kinds of localization methods in scanning process are required for by the way that area-of-interest is moved to magnet center
On axis in left and right directions, the positioning picture of positioning for the first time is then obtained by prescan, according to the positioning of first time positioning
It being positioned as carrying out second, i.e., axis in left and right directions moves up dynamic area-of-interest, makes it and be completely disposed at magnet center, it
Formal clinical scanning can be just proceeded by afterwards.Therefore, can not successfully be determined by the process of once-through operation in the prior art
Position area-of-interest, it is cumbersome that flow is compared in operation.
On the other hand, there are the wind of blinding to eyes for the laser lamp itself that laser lamp cross method uses in position fixing process
Danger, although edge of bed telltale mark method in operating process, needs human eye to judge area-of-interest without laser lamp blinding risk
Corresponding edge of bed contact position, therefore there is certain error in the longitudinal direction.
