Description

Method for constructing magnetic resonance image-forming superconducting magnet
Technical field
The invention belongs to application superconductor technology field, more particularly to construction magnetic resonance imaging (Magnetic Resonance Imaging, abbreviation MRI) superconducting magnet method.
Background technology
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the nuclear-magnetism shown using the magnetic core (mainly proton) of organism in magnetic field Resonance characteristics is come the new and high technology that is imaged.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment mainly by main magnet, scanning bed, gradient coil, Radio-frequency coil, spectrometer system, switch board, interactive operating desk, computer and image processor etc. are constituted.
Main magnet is the main composition part of MRI machine, for producing homogeneous static magnetic field, decides the image of MRI machine Quality and operating efficiency.Meanwhile, main magnet is also manufacturing cost maximum, operating cost highest part in MRI machine.MRI pairs Intensity, the uniformity and the stability in magnetic field have strict demand, and this three are the most important indexs of main magnet.Come with respect to permanent magnet Say, superconducting magnet can produce intensity, the uniformity and stability all higher magnetic field, so being used to obtain the figure become apparent from Picture.
Detrimental effect can be brought to surrounding environment, such as 10 Gausses due to being distributed in the stray field outside superconducting magnet system The magnetic field of the order of magnitude is possible to cause some electronic equipment cisco unity malfunctions, and the patient with pacemaker is had life Danger, the magnetic field of the 100 Gauss orders of magnitude may can make computer working abnormal, therefore in view of some places to leakage field The limitation of field is, it is necessary to limit the stray magnetic field scope of superconducting magnet.
The magnetic field shielding mode of MRI main magnets includes passive screening and the class of active shield two.When taking passive screening mode, Need to dispose ferromagnetic material around magnet to shield stray field, it is simple in construction, but volume and weight is all very big, and to magnetic field Uniformity can also produce influence.It is general at present to use active shield mode, that is, pass through the logical reversely electricity of outside increase in main coil The shielded coil of stream reduces the stray magnetic field outside magnet, so as to reduce the stray magnetic field scope of magnet.Simultaneously because tradition MRI systems The length of system is longer, and a large amount of clinical trials show that patient's common manifestation in long and narrow space goes out the claustrophobias such as anxiety, uneasiness and showed As, therefore in recent years, short cavity, self-shileding MRI system are designed to a kind of new trend.
The electromagnetic design index of high evenness magnet for magnetic resonant imaging mainly has:
(1) imaging region (Diameter Sensitive Volume, abbreviation DSV), is commonly defined as a diameter of D ball Shape region.
(2) central field B0, refer to the magnetic induction intensity value at imaging region center point.
(3) uniformity of magnetic field η (peak-to-peak value), computing formula is:
Wherein, Bmax and Bmin are respectively the maximum and minimum value of magnetic induction intensity in DSV.
(4) stray magnetic field scope, refers generally to magnet and passes to the area that the 5Gs equipotential lines in produced magnetic field during operating current are surrounded Domain.
The optimization design of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) superconducting magnet is the basis that magnet makes, and to whole MRI machine Very important effect is played in image quality and production cost control.
The method of conventional construction MRI superconducting magnets can typically be attributed to two major classes, and a class is Direct Search Method, this kind of Method can both be carried out the overall situation preferentially to whole feas ible space, also might be used in the case where not giving magnet coil structure initial value To preselect the operating current and basic loop construction of superconducting magnet, using the structural parameters of magnet as independent variable, imaging region Interior uniformity of magnetic field, stray magnetic field scope, superconducting magnet spatial volume, magnet energy etc. are constraints or object function, are used Nonlinear optimization algorithm such as simulated annealing or genetic algorithm carry out local optima to the structural parameters of superconducting magnet, obtain most Whole magnet structure.But because MRI SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNET DESIGNs are a multi-parameter, the structural optimization problems of multiple target so that such Method is computationally intensive, less efficient, is become apparent when especially variable is more, if the selection of constraints and given initial value are not When rationally, it will be difficult to obtain optimal solution.
The another kind of introducing for being linear programming algorithm for functional based method.First magnet structure is simplified, in superconducting magnet can The rectangular mesh of division rule in row current-carrying area, seeks the equivalent being aligned plan model of MRI SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNET DESIGN problems Solution, obtains the initial current density distribution of the superconducting magnet, is distributed further according to initial current density and determines the basic of magnet coil Structure and location parameter, then using the first quasi-nonlinear optimizing algorithm, obtain final squaring magnet coil structure but by The method that initial current density is distributed to determine magnet basic structure, in the selection of magnet coil number and cross sectional shape still With certain subjective blindness, it is not easy to seek global optimum's result.
And in the final stage of above two method, actual coiling magnet, it is necessary to consider superconducting wire sectional dimension, Coil dimension is subjected to sliding-model control, and position and radius are rounded, round with it is discrete after, uniformity of magnet etc. Index generally has and is decreased obviously, and design result is deviateed optimal solution.
