Description

Device and method for fixing magnetic resonance flexible radio frequency coil
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of magnetic resonance, in particular to a device and a method for fixing a magnetic resonance flexible radio frequency coil.
Background
The magnetic resonance imaging is an advanced human body nondestructive imaging technology and is widely applied to diagnosis of diseases of various parts of a human body. The magnetic resonance radio frequency coil is an important component of a magnetic resonance imaging system, and the performance of the magnetic resonance radio frequency coil directly determines the quality of magnetic resonance imaging.
In order to obtain better image quality, the coil is generally required to be close to the human body as much as possible. Particularly in recent years, with the development of magnetic resonance technology, flexible radio frequency coils are popular due to the characteristics of light weight, flexibility, high patient comfort, wide application range and the like. Because the shapes of all parts of the human body are different, how to quickly and conveniently fix the coil, especially the flexible radio frequency coil, to make the coil be tightly attached to the part to be inspected of the patient as much as possible is always the focus of attention in the technical field of magnetic resonance. The most common method of securing the coil is a strap, typically with a velcro or snap strap, to bind the coil to the patient's body. This method, while simple, is somewhat complex to operate and the strap is easily soiled and difficult to clean. So, many different coil fixing methods (such as the patents of CN101361658A, CN201820757195CN101361658B, CN201820757195, CN201920959361.7 and CN 200520125351.1) are designed, such as an air bag method, a sand bag method and the like, and even different auxiliary devices are designed for different coils and different application positions. However, some of these methods are complicated in design, high in cost, complicated in operation, and generally not very versatile.
Especially, in recent years, with the application of the super-soft coil, the coil is popularized, and when the coil is fixed by using the binding bands, because the coil is particularly soft, a plurality of binding bands are needed to be used for fixing simultaneously, otherwise, the size coil of the body coil is warped at the place where the binding bands are not bound, and cannot be close to a human body, so that the image quality is improved.
