Afterwards, by adjusting rf gain and excitation angle, the radio-frequency power is calibrated.Wherein, wherein rf gain is to penetrate
The amplification factor of frequency power output, can be equivalent at a concept, and the calibration to radio-frequency power can be equivalent to rf gain
Calibration.
Wherein, nuclear magnetic resonance equipment is typically necessary maintenance correction system etc. and operates, such as Magnetic field inhomogeneity, gradient system
The problems such as error of uniting, will lead to image inaccuracy, just need this when through magnetic resonance imaging picture collection feedback information come school
Just, scanning human body can not directly be removed this when, human body is more troublesome and tissue is because people is different because scanning, at this time
It will be scanned with a regular shape and with moisture film as tissue class signal, here it is the origin of moisture film, so this
In scanning moisture film as reference value.In scanning moisture film before radio frequency empirical value, we are inexperienced value on hand, so the
It is primary just to find out this empirical value with the method for traversal, after having empirical value, any material no matter is scanned all with this value
Centered on a certain range be scanned, there is no need to all traverse.
The invention discloses a kind of calibration methods of radio-frequency power, including:Rf gain empirical value is determined first, chooses institute
The rf gain for stating each equal difference near rf gain empirical value obtains the corresponding amplitude of each rf gain, each
Maximum amplitude is chosen in amplitude, using the corresponding rf gain of the maximum amplitude as target radio frequency gain, according to the target
Rf gain calibrates radio-frequency power.Above-mentioned method avoids the need for traversing entire section all rollovers angle progress
Scanning, just can determine that the homologous thread of flip angle and radio-frequency power, calibrates according to the curve to radio-frequency power, lead to school
The problem of long period will definitely be consumed.
In the embodiment of the present invention, it is preferred that the corresponding pulse excitation angle of maximum value in each amplitude is 90 °,
Because in the embodiment of the present invention, being excited using three continuous pulses (in a TR), generating the signal of a stimulated echo,
Wherein it is by the amplitude of energizing signal:
M=(M0/2)*sin(θ1)*sin(θ2)*sin(θ3) (1)
When three continuous pulse excitation angles are all ɑ angles, the amplitude of stimulated echo is:
M=(M0/2)*sin3(α) (2)
Therefore, amplitude and radio-frequency pulse angle value have specific curved line relation, corresponding when 90 ° of radio-frequency drive to be excited back
Wave-amplitude is maximum.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the method stream of the rf gain of each equal difference near the rf gain empirical value is chosen
Journey is as shown in Fig. 2, include step:
S201, using the rf gain empirical value as starting point, choose preset step-length;
In the embodiment of the present invention, using the rf gain empirical value as starting point, preset step-length is chosen, it is described preset
Step-length with actual alignment during it is related to the selection of calibration accuracy, the required precision of calibration is higher, the preset step-length
That chooses is smaller.
S202, according to the preset step-length, choose the first preset quantity on the left side of the starting point and the right respectively
With the second preset quantity using the preset step-length as the rf gain of each equal difference of tolerance.
In the embodiment of the present invention, preset first quantity and preset second quantity can identical not yet
Together, such as:Present rf gain empirical value is 10.Preferably, precision controlling is 0.5, then step-length is just arranged to 0.5, so
A point is respectively arranged in step number or so afterwards, such as:8-12, then being finally exactly to run 8;8.5;9;9.5;10;10.5;11;
11.5;12 this 9 numbers look for maximum value.Finally also a step should be added to prevent from crossing the border.If peak-peak is not in 8-12, then mesh
Preceding maximum value is in hithermost marginal position, for example is 12 this point, then peak value is likely to be 12.5,13 equal numerical value.
So be exactly in next step run 12.5 the right point, as operation how far also select on one's own account, above-mentioned process can be divided into as
Lower two kinds of situations:
If situation A:Peak value (i.e. some point is all bigger than its two point in left and right) is run out, then it is exactly accurate that this peak is corresponding
It is worth (90 °), off-test, wherein the first preset quantity is 4, and the second preset quantity is 4.
If situation B:Peak value (some endpoint of left and right is in maximum value) can not be run, then next time, operation was just to this endpoint
Direction extend, if there is situation A, terminate, if there is situation B, continue, wherein the first preset quantity is 4, and second is pre-
If quantity is to be adjusted.
Wherein, each material properties is according to more to that can correspond to a target gain section, the target gain section
What the empirical value of secondary calculating determined, it is set according to the target gain section, it is possible to reduce calculation amount realizes school faster
It is quasi-.Preferably, target gain section corresponding after gain interval range has been determined is matched, and judges the gain
Whether the corresponding target gain section of interval range is fluctuated in the same range that error allows, when the two gap is larger and
When mismatch, first preset quantity and second preset quantity are adjusted according to the target gain interval range
It is whole.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the method calibrated according to the target radio frequency gain to radio-frequency power is as follows:First
Assuming that:Rf gain:RFA0, radio frequency reference value:REF, radio frequency angle:ɑ, radio frequency duration:T, radio frequency waveform parameter:B, often
Number:c.
According to formula (3):
RFA0=REF* (ɑ/90) * (1/t)/b (, 3)
Know rf gain and radio frequency angle, radio frequency reference value, the radio frequency duration, radio frequency waveform parameter has relationship.
In actual operation, if we want that the object that is excited is excited ɑ angle with some radio frequency, this radio frequency
Duration t, radio frequency waveform parameter b, when we select radio frequency waveform be all it is known, in radio frequency duration t and
In the case that radio frequency waveform b is constant, formula be can simplify into:
RFA0=REF* (ɑ/90) * c (4)
If we want 90 ° of the object excitation that is excited described in, rf gain is only needed to be arranged to RFA0=
REF*c;If we want object to excite 45 °, rf gain is only needed to be arranged to RFA0=REF*0.5*c.
Wherein, it is related among all parameters of rf gain calculating, radio frequency angle is known.The radio frequency duration,
Radio frequency waveform parameter, is also known.
And radio frequency reference value, it is unknown, because exciting different materials in different systems, necessarily this is caused to penetrate
The difference of frequency reference value.Such as we are with a duration t, waveform b, radio frequency on A magnet, excite 90 ° of B object,
The rf gain used is (RFA0)=10.It will be apparent that if changed a magnet, or an object has been changed, then wanting
90 ° of excitation is just inaccurate with rf gain (RFA0)=10.
So to sum up, seek the process of rf gain, exactly seeking the process of radio frequency reference value REF, (wherein REF is one
A variable with changes in environmental conditions).It can use formula (5):
RFA0=REF* (ɑ/90) * c (5)
Wherein, c is known constant,
If radio-frequency power is arranged to RFA0=10 by we, object has deflected 1 angle of ɑ.If we are radio-frequency power
It is arranged to RFA0=15, object has deflected 2 angle of ɑ.Due to the deflection angle ɑ 1 of object, we can not be directly observed ɑ 2, institute
Using angle and by the formula of energizing signal:M=(M0/2) * sin3 (ɑ), carrys out indirect observation.When ɑ=90 °, M is maximum.It is i.e. defeated
Enter the pulsed RF A1, RFA2, RFA3, RFA4, RFA5...... of a series of rf gains.It obtains a series of being excited signal amplitude
It is M1, M2, M3, M4, M5.......Wherein, it is preferred that a series of selection of rf gains can be chosen at the object that is excited
Near the empirical value of rf gain.
If M3 be this it is a series of be excited signal amplitude maximum value if, it is clear that according to formula it is found that deflection at this time
Angle is 90 °, then corresponding rf gain is RFA3.
So RFA3=REF* (90/90) * c, substitution can find out REF.
After finding out REF, it can be obtained according to formula (3):
RFA0=REF* (ɑ/90) * (1/t)/b.
Based on above-mentioned calculating process, if certain material magnetic resonance signal is want to overturn 90 °, REF=20 is found out, has been determined
Radio frequency time t=3, radio frequency waveform parameter b=4, then rf gain is only needed to be adjusted to:RFA0=20* (90/
90) * (1/3)/4. may be reversed 90 °.If I wants material magnetic resonance signal to overturn 45 °, RFA0=20* (45/90) * (1/
3)/4..If having changed a magnetic resonance system certainly, or if having changed a material, REF is recalculated again.
It illustrates, it is known that last time using A as material, obtains REF=20.Now using B as material, then REF can be attached 20
Closely.Because on any one fixed system, the difference for scanning material will lead to REF variation, but the range generally changed is not
It can be too big.So REF is arranged to 11,12,13,14,15 by we ..., 20,21,22,23 ... 29,30, wherein
First preset quantity is 10, and the second preset quantity is 9.It is such a series of to be worth corresponding rf gain RFA11, RFA12,
RFA13 ..., RFA30.A series of M11, M12, M13 are obtained ..., M30.If wherein M22 is maximum, then M22 is corresponding
Be ɑ=90, target radio frequency gain RFA=22.It is possible thereby to calculate new REF=22.It can be obtained according to formula (3):
RFA0=REF* (ɑ/90) * (1/t)/b
Wherein, all variables may be implemented all it is known that according to rf gain and the corresponding relationship for exciting angle to radio frequency function
