In the magnetic resonance imaging technology, as the field intensity of the main magnetic field of magnetic resonance increases, the power of the radio frequency pulse also increases, and the energy loaded by the radio frequency pulse is released in a form of heat and is locally absorbed by a human body, so that the body temperature is increased, and even local thermal damage is caused, therefore, the specific absorption rate (Specific Absorption Rate, SAR for short) is introduced and used for representing the radio frequency energy absorbed by the human body in unit weight in unit time.
The international electrotechnical commission (International Electro Technical Commission, IEC for short) specifies that SAR values in magnetic resonance imaging cannot exceed a specified safety threshold and that there are different safety thresholds for different parts of the human body. For example, when the SAR value of the scan region is greater than or equal to a safety threshold, the magnetic resonance imaging (Magnetic ResonanceImaging, MRI) apparatus automatically stops scanning to avoid damage to the human body.

The execution subject of the method embodiment described below may be a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus or a computer apparatus, which may implement part or all of the SAR value determination for the above-described magnetic resonance imaging by software, hardware, or a combination of software and hardware. The following method embodiments are described taking the implementation subject as a computer device as an example.
The following describes the technical scheme of the present invention and how the technical scheme of the present invention solves the above technical problems in detail by examples and with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments may be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for determining SAR values of magnetic resonance imaging according to an embodiment, which relates to a specific process in which a computer device obtains pressure values of a scan region of a scan object through a plurality of pressure sensors, and obtains quality of the scan region according to the pressure values to determine SAR values of the scan region. As shown in fig. 2, the method includes:
S101, acquiring pressure values of a scanning part of a scanning object through a plurality of pressure sensors.
It should be noted that in this embodiment, the plurality of pressure sensors may be disposed on an upper surface of a bed board of the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus or embedded inside the bed board; the surface of the flexible layer which is laid on the bed board or embedded in the flexible layer; the pressure sensor may be disposed on a support of the body of the scan subject in other manners, which is not limited in this embodiment, as long as the pressure sensor disposed on the support of the body of the scan subject can accurately acquire the pressure value of the scan site. Alternatively, the flexible layer may be a cushion, a blanket, or other objects placed on the surface of the bed board, which is not limited in this embodiment. Alternatively, the plurality of pressure sensors may be a plurality of piezoelectric sensors, or may be other types of pressure sensors, which is not limited in this embodiment.
Specifically, taking the example that the pressure sensor is arranged on the upper surface of the bed board of the magnetic resonance imaging device, in practical application, when the scanning object lies on the bed board, the computer device acquires the pressure value acquired by the pressure sensor corresponding to the scanning part of the scanning object in combination with the plurality of pressure sensors arranged on the upper surface of the bed board, alternatively, the mode that the computer device acquires the pressure value acquired by the pressure sensor can be that the computer device sends a control instruction to the pressure sensor to enable the pressure sensor to report the acquired pressure value, or the pressure sensor actively reports the acquired pressure value to the computer device, and the mode that the computer device acquires the pressure value acquired by the pressure sensor is not limited in this embodiment.
S102, acquiring the quality of the scanning part according to the pressure value.
In this embodiment, the method of acquiring the mass of the scan portion of the scan object by the computer device according to the pressure value may be a linear relationship between the pressure and the mass, or the computer device may acquire the mass of the scan portion of the scan object by the big data, or may be other methods, which are not limited in this embodiment, as long as the mass of the scan portion is acquired on the basis of the pressure value by scientific and reasonable logic. Wherein the linear relationship between the pressure and the mass is specifically: when the horizontal plane of the gravity center of the scanning part is parallel to the scanning bed board, the pressure=gravity=mass×9.8 n/kg; if the gravity center of the scanning part is positioned on an inclined plane, and the inclination angle alpha exists between the horizontal plane of the gravity center of the scanning part and the scanning bed board, the pressure=gravity×cos alpha=mass×9.8 n/kg×cos alpha. Alternatively, the horizontal plane in which the center of gravity of the scanning part is located and the bed board are in a parallel state or the inclination angle α exists may be automatically measured by a computer device according to a preset program, or may be reported to the computer device after the inclination angle α is detected by the magnetic resonance imaging device, or may be measured by other means, which is not limited in this embodiment.
Specifically, taking a linear relationship between the pressure value and the mass as an example, in practical application, based on the linear relationship between the pressure and the mass, the computer device substitutes the pressure value of the scanning part of the scanning object obtained in the step S101 into one of the formulas of the linear relationship according to the relationship between the horizontal plane and the horizontal plane where the center of gravity of the scanning part of the scanning object is located, so as to determine the mass corresponding to the scanning part. For example: when the horizontal plane of the gravity center of the scanning part of the scanning object is parallel to the bed board, substituting the obtained pressure value into the formula pressure=gravity=mass×9.8 n/kg by the computer equipment, and obtaining the mass of the scanning part; alternatively, when there is an inclination angle α between the horizontal plane in which the center of gravity of the scanning subject lies and the bed board, the computer apparatus substitutes the acquired pressure value into the formula pressure=gravity×cos α=mass×9.8 n/kg×cos α, and acquires the mass of the scanning subject.
S103, determining SAR values corresponding to the scanning parts according to the quality of the scanning parts.
Specifically, based on the quality of the scanning site of the scanning object determined in step S102 described above, the computer device may determine the SAR value of the scanning site of the scanning object according to the quality of the scanning site. Alternatively, the computer device may determine the SAR value of the scan site of the scan object by combining the quality of the scan site with a common medical method, or may determine the SAR value corresponding to the scan site by other methods, for example, according to a functional relationship between the quality of the scan site, the magnetic field strength, and the rf pulse signal strength; alternatively, the correspondence between the mass of the scanning location and the SAR value may be counted by machine learning, and the SAR value corresponding to the mass of each scanning location may be determined according to the correspondence. The method of determining the SAR corresponding to the scan site by the computer device according to the acquired quality of the scan site is not limited in this embodiment.
For example, in calculating the SAR value at 10S for a scan region of a scan object, the computer device automatically substitutes the quality of the acquired scan region of the scan object into the following formula: 10 sSAR= ((-5.96E-09) X) 4 -(2.08E-06)X 3 +0.0005681X 2 -0.04531x+1.638) peak_sar. Wherein X is the mass of the scanning part, peak_SAR is the Peak value of SAR values in the scanning time period, and 10sSAR values can be obtained by inputting the mass of the scanning part into the computer equipment according to the formula.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, only one pressure sensor may be provided, so that, according to the pressure value acquired by the pressure sensor, based on the relationship between the pressure value and the mass, the computer device obtains the overall mass of the scanned object, and then, the computer device may determine the mass of the scanned portion of the scanned object according to the body state feature information, and further, according to the mass of the scanned portion, the computer device determines the SAR value of the scanned portion. The manner in which the computer device obtains the quality of the scanning portion of the scanning object according to the pressure value acquired by the pressure sensor and the manner in which the computer device determines the SAR value of the scanning portion according to the quality of the scanning portion of the scanning object may be any one of the above-mentioned embodiments, or may be other manners, which is not limited in this embodiment.
According to the SAR value determination method for the magnetic resonance imaging, the computer equipment obtains the pressure value of the scanning part of the scanning object through the plurality of pressure sensors, obtains the mass of the scanning part of the scanning object according to the pressure value, and determines the SAR value corresponding to the scanning part according to the mass of the scanning part. According to the method, the pressure sensor is used for measuring the pressure value of the scanning part of the scanning object, the quality of the scanning part is converted according to the pressure value, the accuracy of the quality of the scanning part of the scanning object can be improved, the technical problem that in the prior art, doctors estimate the scanning part of the scanning object inaccurately according to personal experience, personal weight deviation and distribution difference is avoided, the computer equipment obtains the SAR value of the scanning part according to the obtained quality of the scanning part of the scanning object, the accuracy of the SAR value of the scanning part can be improved, and MRI scanning imaging is facilitated.
Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a SAR value determining method of magnetic resonance imaging according to an embodiment, which relates to a specific process of acquiring a pressure value of a target pressure sensor by a computer device according to position information of each pressure sensor. On the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 2, as shown in fig. 3, the step S101 includes:
S201, position information of each pressure sensor is acquired.
In this embodiment, the position information of each pressure sensor may be the position information of each pressure sensor on the couch board or in the couch board, and each pressure sensor may be a partial area distributed on the couch board of the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus or a partial area embedded in the couch board according to a preset rule, or may be a supporting piece uniformly distributed on the upper surface of the couch board according to a preset rule or embedded in the supporting piece. The present embodiment is not limited to this, as to the area information of each pressure sensor on or inside the support. The preset rule may be an array distribution rule, or a rule that is distributed in a targeted manner according to outlines of different scanning positions of the scanned object body, which is not limited in this embodiment.
Optionally, the manner in which the computer device obtains the position information of the pressure sensor may be that the position coordinate of the pressure sensor in the scan object coordinate system is obtained according to the preset rule, or may be that the pressure sensor actively reports the position coordinate while reporting the pressure value to the computer device, and the manner in which the computer device obtains the position information of the pressure sensor is not limited in this embodiment.
S202, determining a target pressure sensor according to the position information of each pressure sensor and the position information of the scanning part.
In this embodiment, the position information of the scanning location may be a set of position coordinates of the scanning location in the scanning target coordinate system, or may be a range of areas formed by the position coordinates. Specifically, the computer device acquires the position coordinates of the scanning location in the scanning object coordinate system, determines the pressure sensor located at the scanning location of the scanning object in combination with the position coordinates of each pressure sensor in the scanning object coordinate system determined in the step S201, and then determines the pressure sensor as the target pressure sensor.
S203, acquiring a pressure value of the target pressure sensor.
Specifically, based on the target pressure sensor determined in step S202, the computer device acquires the pressure value acquired by the target pressure sensor. Alternatively, the target pressure sensor may be one pressure sensor or a plurality of pressure sensors, which is not limited in this embodiment, depending on the actual pressure sensor preset rule and the size of the scanning site of the scanning object.
According to the SAR value determining method for magnetic resonance imaging, the position information of each pressure sensor is obtained, the target pressure sensor is determined according to the position information of each pressure sensor and the position information of the scanning position, the pressure value of the target pressure sensor is obtained and is equivalent to the determined pressure sensor corresponding to the scanning position, and then the pressure value of the pressure sensor corresponding to the scanning position is read, so that the pressure value of the pressure sensor corresponding to the scanning position can be obtained rapidly, the efficiency and the accuracy of the pressure value of the scanning position are improved greatly, and the accuracy of the weight of the scanning position is improved.
Fig. 4 is a flowchart of a method for determining SAR values of magnetic resonance imaging according to an embodiment, which relates to a specific process of determining a target pressure sensor by a computer device according to position information of each pressure sensor. On the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 3, as shown in fig. 4, the step S202 includes:
s301, determining a pressure distribution diagram corresponding to the scanning object according to the position information of each pressure sensor.
Specifically, the computer device generates a position profile of each pressure sensor according to the position information of each pressure sensor obtained in the step S201, alternatively, the computer device may form a pressure profile by combining the position information of each pressure sensor and the pressure value collected by each pressure sensor, alternatively, the pressure profile may also be a pressure profile formed by combining the position information of each pressure sensor and the number of each pressure sensor. Because the pressure sensors collect the pressure generated when the scanning object lies on the bed board, the pressure distribution diagram of each pressure sensor can be determined to be the pressure distribution diagram corresponding to the scanning object.
S302, performing image segmentation processing on the pressure distribution map according to the body state characteristic information of the scanning object, and determining the human body part information corresponding to each pressure sensor.
In this embodiment, the body state characteristic information of the scan object may be a body state distribution map formed by manually measuring the length, width and circumference of each part of the body of the scan object in advance, or may be a body state distribution map of the scan object automatically generated by video full-image scanning (for example, a camera), which is not limited in this embodiment.
Specifically, taking a body state feature information of a scanned object as an example, the body state feature information of the scanned object is a body state distribution map automatically generated through video holophote scanning, the computer device overlaps the body state distribution map of the scanned object with the pressure distribution map obtained in the step S301, and performs image segmentation on the pressure distribution map by taking each part of the body as a unit, optionally, when the pressure distribution map is formed by pressure sensor position information and pressure values collected by the pressure distribution map, the computer device overlaps the body state distribution map of the scanned object with the pressure distribution map to obtain pressure sensor position information and corresponding pressure values corresponding to each part of the scanned object body, thereby determining body part information corresponding to each pressure sensor, optionally, when the pressure distribution map obtained in the step S301 is formed by pressure sensor position information and a number, the computer device overlaps the body state distribution map of the scanned object with the pressure distribution map to obtain position information and a number of the pressure sensor corresponding to each part of the scanned object body, thereby determining body part information corresponding to each pressure sensor.
The body part information corresponding to the pressure sensor may be position information of each body part corresponding to the pressure sensor in the scanned body state distribution diagram, a specific name of the body part corresponding to the pressure sensor in the scanned body state distribution diagram, a number of the body part corresponding to the pressure sensor in the scanned body state distribution diagram, or other information, which is not limited in this embodiment. Alternatively, the number may be an arabic number, or an english letter code, or a combination of an arabic number and an english letter code, which is not limited in this embodiment, so long as the human body part information corresponding to the pressure sensor may reflect a specific position of the human body part corresponding to the pressure sensor in the human body.
S303, determining the target pressure sensor according to instruction information input by a user and human body part information corresponding to each pressure sensor; the instruction information comprises human body part information corresponding to the scanning part.
In this embodiment, the instruction information may be the name of the scanning location, the position information of the scanning location in the human body, the code of the scanning location, or other information, which is not limited in this embodiment. Alternatively, the instruction may be input by the user through text input, through selecting a function key, through a specific gesture, or through other modes, for example, a mode of continuously sliding a region on a body profile, or through voice, where the mode of inputting the instruction by the user is not limited.
For example: taking a manner of inputting instructions by a user as an example by inputting characters, the user inputs a human body part name "heart" in a text box on a display screen of the computer device, determines a pressure sensor arranged in a region corresponding to the "heart" by combining the human body part information corresponding to each pressure sensor determined in the step S302, and determines the pressure sensor as a target pressure sensor.
According to the SAR value determining method of the magnetic resonance imaging, according to the position information of each pressure sensor, a pressure distribution diagram corresponding to a scanning object is determined, according to the body state characteristic information of the scanning object, image segmentation processing is carried out on the pressure distribution diagram, human body position information corresponding to each pressure sensor is determined, and then according to instruction information input by a user and the human body position information corresponding to each pressure sensor, the target pressure sensor is determined.
In order to accurately acquire the pressure value of the scanning portion of the scanning object, when there are at least two target pressure sensors corresponding to the scanning portion, the computer device may acquire the pressure value acquired by each target pressure sensor according to a flowchart of another SAR value determining method for magnetic resonance imaging as provided in fig. 5, which is specifically described as steps S401 and S402 below:
s401, acquiring pressure values acquired by each target pressure sensor.
Specifically, in combination with the plurality of target pressure sensors determined in step S202 described above, the computer device acquires the pressure value acquired by each target pressure sensor, respectively. Alternatively, the computer device may send a control command to each of the target pressure sensors, and receive a pressure value sent by each of the target pressure sensors according to the control command. For example, in practical application, when at least two or more corresponding target sensors exist at a scanning position of a scanning object, the computer device sends a control instruction to each target pressure sensor, based on the control instruction, the plurality of target pressure sensors send back pressure values collected on each pressure sensor to the computer device, and then the computer device receives the pressure values sent by each pressure sensor. Alternatively, the manner in which the computer device sends the control instruction may be by wired communication, or may be by wireless, for example, infrared, bluetooth, 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, or other manners, which is not limited in this embodiment.
Optionally, the computer device may further determine, from the set of pressure values, a pressure value corresponding to the identifier of the target pressure sensor according to a correspondence between the identifier of the pressure sensor and the pressure value; the pressure value set comprises pressure values acquired by all pressure sensors corresponding to the scanning object.
In the embodiment of the present invention, each pressure sensor has an identifier, and the identifier may be encoded information or other information, which is not limited in this embodiment. Alternatively, the code may be an arabic number, or may be an english letter or other information, which is not limited in this embodiment.
Specifically, based on the corresponding target pressure sensor determined in step S303, when each pressure sensor detects pressure, the collected pressure value and its own code are reported to the computer device, and the computer device establishes a pressure value set according to the pressure value and the code reported by each pressure sensor. When at least more than two corresponding target sensors exist at the scanning part of the scanning object, the computer equipment determines the pressure values acquired by the target pressure sensors from the pressure values acquired by all the pressure sensors according to the corresponding relation between the identifiers of the pressure sensors and the pressure values displayed on the identifiers, and the pressure values measured by the target pressure sensors are the pressure values of each target pressure sensor acquired by the computer equipment.
And S402, summing all the pressure values acquired by the target pressure sensor to obtain the pressure value of the target pressure sensor.
Specifically, based on the pressure values of all the target pressure sensors obtained in the above steps, the computer device automatically sums all the pressure values to obtain a sum of the pressure values of all the target pressure sensors, and determines the sum of the pressure values as the pressure value of the target pressure sensor. Alternatively, the pressure value collected by each target pressure sensor can be checked, the pressure value with obvious errors is directly discarded or corrected, and the pressure values collected by the target pressure sensors after the checking are summed. For example, the average pressure value of the pressure values collected by all the target pressure sensors may be obtained first, the difference between the pressure value collected by each target pressure sensor and the average pressure value is determined, and if the difference is greater than a preset threshold, the pressure value collected by the target pressure sensor corresponding to the difference is discarded or corrected.
According to the SAR value determining method for the magnetic resonance imaging, the computer equipment sends a control instruction to each target pressure sensor and receives the pressure value sent by each target pressure sensor according to the control instruction. Or, the computer device may further determine, according to the identifier of the pressure sensor, the corresponding pressure value of the target pressure sensor from the pressure value sets acquired by all the pressure sensors according to the identifier of the pressure sensor, so as to quickly and accurately acquire the pressure value of the scanning part of the scanning object.
It should be understood that, although the steps in the flowcharts of fig. 2-5 are shown in order as indicated by the arrows, these steps are not necessarily performed in order as indicated by the arrows.
