Description

A method of improving magnetic resonance imaging pulse sequencer output speed
Technical field
The present invention relates to mr imaging technique fields, and in particular to a kind of raising magnetic resonance imaging pulse sequencer The method of output speed.
Background technique
In magnetic resonance imaging spectrometer, pulse-series generator is one of core component, for generating magnetic resonance imaging institute The pulse train needed, other units (including transmitter, receiver and gradient waveform generator etc.) controlled in spectrometer cooperate with work Make.
With the development of mr imaging technique, the pulse train in practical application becomes increasingly complex.Therefore, once at In the overall process of picture, the timing information amount for needing pulse-series generator to handle is increasing.Using the prior art (CN 1361419;ZL 031505910) design pulse-series generator data storage capacity expand and data transmission bauds promoted Etc. encounter bottleneck.For a part of imaging method, when Polaroid overall process can be divided into multiple recoveries Between TR, therefore can use the waiting time D in TR0, when transmitting pulse needed for next TR to pulse-series generator Sequence information.However, in short TR imaging method (such as T1 weighted imaging), due to D0Very short (even 0), therefore have little time to pass Pulse sequence information needed for defeated next TR.And in other imaging methods, all data acquisitions are complete in a TR At.When carrying out magnetic resonance imaging using these methods, needing will the required whole pulse sequence of imaging before sweep start Information write pulse sequencer.For the imaging method (such as three-dimensional blood vessel imaging) of some complexity, needed for Polaroid Whole pulse sequence information content it is very big.According to above scheme, the memory capacity of pulse-series generator is difficult to support so A large amount of information.Even if memory capacity can be supported, transmission mass data also results in sweep start variable length delay.Blood vessel at It needs in the practical applications such as picture using contrast agent, and the reinforcing effect that sweep start variable length delay will lead to contrast agent is deteriorated, shadow Ring the contrast of magnetic resonance image.
In view of the above-mentioned problems, the prior art (ZL 2012101720320) proposes a kind of pair of magnetic resonance imaging pulse timing Information carries out compression and decoded method.This method is divided pulse sequence information according to shared information and non-common information Section, then coding is indexed to each segment information respectively, to alleviate pulse-series generator in data storage capacity and data The pressure of transmission speed etc..However, the output speed that decoding process will lead to pulse-series generator in the technology occurs A degree of decline (i.e. minimum pulse width becomes larger).For conventional imaging sequence, due to the output of pulse-series generator Rate is much larger than the demand of actual scanning, therefore is unaffected.But a small number of imaging sequences use the radio frequency of envelope complexity Pulse or broadband excitation pulse, scanning process has very high requirement to the output speed of pulse-series generator, existing at this time Decoding process in technology cannot be met the requirements.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of the present invention is provide a kind of raising magnetic resonance imaging pulse sequence generation in view of the deficiencies of the prior art The method of device output speed.This method is indexed coding, and recording indexes code institute to pulse sequence information by spectrometer computer The length of corresponding informance;Information corresponding to the length of information corresponding to index code, index code, index code is respectively written into pulse In the memory of sequencer;After starting scanning, circuit pre-decode is carried out by pulse-series generator and obtains pulse sequence information, And update output.
The object of the present invention is achieved like this:
1) on spectrometer computer, coding is indexed to Polaroid required whole pulse sequence information, and record The length of information corresponding to each index code.
2) information corresponding to the length of information corresponding to index code, index code, index code is respectively written into pulse train In the memory of generator.
3) after pulse-series generator resets, circuit pre-decode, the first segment arteries and veins that will be obtained are carried out to first index code Timing information deposit double port buffers are rushed, " starting scanning " signal from spectrometer computer is then waited.
4) after starting scanning, pulse-series generator is successively read each group of data in double port buffers, for more New output;At the same time, pulse-series generator carries out circuit pre-decode to next index code, when the next section of pulse that will be obtained Sequence information is stored in double port buffers.
5) step 4) is repeated, until pulse-series generator reads pulse sequence end mark from memory, or Person's pulse-series generator receives " stopping scanning " signal from spectrometer computer.
" being indexed coding to Polaroid required whole pulse sequence information " of the present invention, refers to " to adopt Pulse sequence information needed for integrating a line K space data " as unit, to " Polaroid required whole pulse sequence information " into Row divides and index coding.
It is of the present invention " to write information corresponding to the length of information corresponding to index code, index code, index code respectively Enter in the memory of pulse-series generator ", refer to and memory is divided into two pieces, one piece for storing index code and its corresponding informance Length, another piece for storing information corresponding to index code;Or refer to and memory is divided into two pieces, one piece for storing Index code, another piece for storing information corresponding to index code and its length.
" circuit pre-decode " of the present invention refers to and reads next index code and its corresponding informance in advance from memory Length determines the initial address of its corresponding informance according to the index code, is then burst with the length of index code corresponding informance Length is read the corresponding information of the index code from memory by the way of burst access, and is written in double port buffers.
" circuit pre-decode " of the present invention can also refer to read next index code in advance from memory, according to this Index code determines the initial address of its corresponding information and its length, then reads the length of index code corresponding informance, then with The length is burst-length, reads the corresponding information of index code from memory by the way of burst access, and be written to both-end Mouth buffer.
It is of the present invention that " pulse-series generator is successively read each group of data in double port buffers, for updating Export " and " pulse-series generator carries out circuit pre-decode to next index code, and next section of obtained pulse sequence information is write Enter double port buffers " two processes, it is parallel to execute.
The beneficial effects of the present invention are: having recorded index code institute during being indexed coding to pulse sequence information The length of corresponding informance, therefore batch may be implemented and read the corresponding pulse sequence information of index code, i.e., using burst access Mode is decoded, and improves the output speed of pulse-series generator;It is cached by the way of reading in advance with dual-port Device execute circuit pre-decode can parallel with output is updated, further improve the output speed of pulse-series generator.
