Description

Special surface phased array receiving coil for skin
Technical Field
The invention relates to a surface phased array receiving coil special for skin.
Background
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems are today advanced diagnostic devices in the field of medical imaging. It can provide high quality soft tissue tomograms incomparable with other imaging devices, and its emergence revolutionized conventional radiology and imaging diagnostics. It can realize imaging of various tissue parameters, tomography in any direction, tissue perfusion metabolism and the like. Medical magnetic resonance imaging has been widely used in various systems of the body, such as the most common nervous and skeletal systems, and has made great benefit to the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of diseases. However, on top of the skin system, MRI applications are not widespread, or even rare. The reason for this is that: regarding the tissue structure of the skin, high-resolution MRI (HR-MRI) imaging is required to achieve the effect of auxiliary diagnosis, but the HR-MRI imaging requirement of the skin cannot be met due to the limitation of an MRI system at present.
The limitations of MRI systems are mainly due to the increase of the main magnetic field, which is difficult and takes almost 50 years for us to spend in clinical practice, and the improvement of surface receiving coils, which is widely used commercially from 0.3T to 3.0T. It is known that a magnetic resonance system mainly consists of a superconducting magnet, a gradient coil, a radio frequency coil, a spectrometer system, etc., wherein the performance of the radio frequency receiving coil directly determines the quality of an image as a terminal for receiving a magnetic resonance signal. In order to obtain better image quality, improving the performance of the receiving coil is also an important direction for the development of the current superconducting magnetic resonance.
The small-field surface coil has higher sensitivity and application value in the aspects of thyroid imaging, talar cartilage imaging, skin surface imaging and the like compared with the traditional array coil. At present, a receiving coil used for skin HR-MRI imaging is a single-channel micro-coil (loop) with different models of various manufacturers, which is also called a small field loop coil, the single-channel loop coil is not used for skin imaging, and the single-channel loop coil is developed to be suitable for superficial tissue imaging of a human body, such as superficial tissue structures of fingers, toes and the like, and is one of the reasons for making the loop into a loop hollow structure. The diameters of the hard shell are different, all manufacturers produce the hard shell with the diameter of 2CM to 7CM, and the hard shell is made of PC materials and cannot be well attached to and fixed on the skin of a human body.
The principle of using a single-channel small-field annular coil to perform skin HR-MRI imaging is mainly characterized in that the smaller the diameter of the used coil is, the higher the receiving sensitivity is, and the higher the signal-to-noise ratio of the image can be ensured under the condition of reducing the voxel under the condition of keeping the strength of the main magnetic field unchanged, so that the small-FOV high-spatial-resolution image can be obtained.
However, the sizes of large and small manufacturers of the conventional single-channel small-field annular coil are different, and the satisfactory combination between the imaging depth and the high resolution cannot be achieved. Secondly, the single-channel small-field annular coils are all annular hollow, and the hard PC shell is shaped, so that the single-channel small-field annular coils cannot be well fixed and attached to the skin, and great difficulty is brought to imaging operation. And the existing coils connect the antenna and the corresponding amplifying circuit together in a short distance, so that the coil can feel uncomfortable and even burn to a patient due to heat generated by the amplifying circuit when in use.

Since it is considered that the circuit connected to the coil generates heat due to its operation, which may cause burn to the skin of the human body, the present embodiment is improved for the circuit configuration to match the longer cable connected to the preamplifier. The coil unit and the amplifying circuit of the present embodiment are connected by a long distance cable, so that the amplifying circuit is far away from the coil antenna. The amplifying circuit comprises a phase shifting circuit and a preamplifier, which is used for matching a capacitor to the input end of the preamplifier, and has the phase requirement besides the decoupling requirement of the preamplifier, and the circuit structure of the required phase shifting can be determined according to the actual situation. This embodiment confirms actual use condition through the cable between control coil and the preamplifier, if it is enough to separate preamplifier and coil unit distance, can make the amplifier part keep away from the human body, and the antenna unit position is close to the human body, can only be to unit position design laminating material and structure this moment, makes the patient more comfortable. The phase-shifting circuit is connected to the coil antenna through the long-distance cable and outputs the signal to the preamplifier, and the preamplifier amplifies the signal and outputs the signal to the external processor.
The coil unit of the embodiment comprises at least three small coil antennas and control circuits with the same number as the small coil antennas, each small coil antenna is connected to one control circuit and is connected to an independent amplifying circuit through a long-distance cable through the control circuit, and the number of the amplifying circuits is the same as that of the small coil antennas. Two or more small coil antennas may also be used in practice. The small coil antennas in this embodiment form a coil structure mode of the small coil units of the multi-channel phased array, the small coil units are adjacent to each other to form a large imaging interval, so that the effective space of the imaging interval is increased, wherein each small coil antenna is circular, and the distance between the centers of any two small coil antennas is 75% of the diameter of the small coil antenna.

The front-end phase used in the embodiment is 180 degrees, so when the front-end is inductive, the phase-shifting circuit adopts a mode of connecting an inductor in parallel with a series capacitor, wherein the C5 is mainly used for adjusting the phase, the L3 is mainly used for correcting the matching change caused by the series C5, so that the matching is consistent with the original matching, when the front-end is capacitive, the phase-shifting circuit adopts a mode of connecting the inductor in parallel with the capacitor, wherein the L is mainly used for adjusting the phase, and the C5 is mainly used for correcting the matching change caused by the series L3, so that the matching is consistent with the original matching.
