The flexible supporting body 500 can be bent into a curved surface. The plurality of magnetic field enhancement assemblies 10 are arranged in parallel at intervals on the flexible support 500. Each of the magnetic field enhancing assemblies 10 includes a first electrical connection terminal 911 and a second electrical connection terminal 912. A series connection of a capacitor and inductor arrangement is connected between the first electrical connection 911 and the second electrical connection 912.

Under the action of external force, the flexible support 500 may be flexed. The flexible supporting body 500 may be curved, and may be a plane. The radian of the detection curved surface formed by the flexible supporting body 500 can be adjusted. When the abdomen of the patient has different thickness, the plurality of magnetic field enhancement assemblies 10 can be attached to the detection part of the human body by changing the bending radian of the flexible supporting body 500, the gap between the detection part and the curved magnetic field enhancement device 20 is reduced, the intensity of the detection signal is increased, and the signal quality is improved.

Since the detection part is located between the two curved magnetic field enhancement devices 20, the plurality of magnetic field enhancement assemblies 10 in the curved magnetic field enhancement devices 20 are arranged at intervals in the same curved surface. The curved surface magnetic field enhancement device 20 is a special-shaped curved surface MRI image enhancement super-structure surface device. The special-shaped curved MRI image enhancement super-structure surface device is of a curved surface structure and can be attached to the abdomen of a human body. The special-shaped curved surface MRI image enhancement super structure surface device can cover the abdomen of a human body, so that the gap between the special-shaped curved surface MRI image enhancement super structure surface device and the abdomen is reduced, and the signal quality of the human body abdomen is improved.

The orthographic projection of the second electrode layer 120 on the first dielectric layer 100 partially overlaps the orthographic projection of the first sub-electrode layer 111 on the first dielectric layer 100. The second electrode layer 120, the first dielectric layer 100, and the first sub-electrode layer 111 constitute a second structured capacitor 302. The orthographic projection of the third electrode layer 130 on the first dielectric layer 100 is partially overlapped with the orthographic projection of the second sub-electrode layer 112 on the first dielectric layer 100.

In one embodiment, the width of the first connection layer 190 is 1/5 to 1/2 of the width of the first sub-electrode layer 111. When the width of the first connection layer 190 is 1/5 to 1/2 of the width of the first sub-electrode layer 111, it can be ensured that the ratio of the electric loss of the first connection layer 190 in the magnetic field enhancement assembly 10 is less than 1/2 of the overall electric loss. The first connection layer 190 has a small electrical loss, and the magnetic field enhancement assembly 10 generates a small amount of heat. The energy of the loop in which the magnetic field enhancement assembly 10 is located is mainly used for generating a magnetic field, and the enhancement effect of the magnetic field in the receiving stage is better.

A plurality of the magnetic field enhancing assemblies 10 are connected in parallel. In the curved magnetic field enhancement device 20, the first connection layers 190 of two opposite magnetic field enhancement assemblies 10 are arranged in a staggered manner, and the parallel overlapping portions are reduced.

Referring to fig. 7, in one embodiment, an arc-shaped chamfer is disposed at an intersection of a sidewall of the first connection layer 190 and a sidewall of the first sub-electrode layer 111 or the second sub-electrode 112. An electric current flows through the first sub-electrode layer 111, the first connection layer 190, and the second sub-electrode layer 112. The width of the first connection layer 190 is smaller than the width of the first sub-electrode layer 111. The current is collected at the connection between the first sub-electrode layer 111 and the first connection layer 190, and the current density increases. An arc-shaped chamfer is arranged at the intersection of the side wall of the first connecting layer 190 and the side wall of the first sub-electrode layer 111, so that the first connecting layer 190 is connected with the first sub-electrode layer 111 through a horn-shaped structure, the sudden change of current density is reduced, and the current density at the intersection of the side wall of the first connecting layer 190 and the side wall of the first sub-electrode layer 111 is reduced. The current density at the joint of the first connection layer 190 and the first sub-electrode layer 111 is reduced, the heat generation is reduced, and the service life of the magnetic field enhancement assembly 10 is prolonged.
The current is collected at the connection between the second sub-electrode layer 112 and the first connection layer 190, and the current density is increased. An arc-shaped chamfer is arranged at the intersection of the side wall of the first connection layer 190 and the side wall of the second sub-electrode layer 112, so that a horn-shaped structure is formed at the joint of the first connection layer 190 and the second sub-electrode layer 112. The junction of the first connection layer 190 and the second sub-electrode layer 112 forms a horn-shaped structure, which can reduce the abrupt change of current density, and further reduce the current density at the intersection of the sidewall of the first connection layer 190 and the sidewall of the second sub-electrode layer 112. The current density at the connection point of the second sub-electrode layer 112 and the first connection layer 190 is reduced, so that the heat generation amount is reduced, and the service life of the magnetic field enhancement assembly 10 can be further prolonged.

That is, one end of the matching capacitor 641 is connected to the first sub-electrode layer 111. The tuning capacitor 642 is connected between the other end of the matching capacitor 641 and the second electrode layer 120. And two ends of the tuning capacitor 642 are used for being connected with the signal acquisition device.
The tuning capacitor 642 is connected in parallel with the signal acquisition device, and the tuning capacitor 642 is mainly used for adjusting the resonant frequency of the signal output end circuit, so that the resonant frequency of the output side where the signal acquisition device is located is equal to a target resonant frequency.

The induced voltage of the magnetic field enhancing component 10 during the transmit phase is between a few tens of volts and a few hundreds of volts. The induced voltage of the magnetic field enhancing assembly 10 during the receive phase is less than 1 volt.
In a radio frequency emission phase, a voltage across the first depletion type MOS 652 and the second depletion type MOS 653 is greater than a pinch-off voltage, the first depletion type MOS 652 and the second depletion type MOS 653 are not conductive, and no current flows in the output matching circuit 640.

The switch control circuit 430 is configured to be turned on during the rf transmitting phase and turned off during the rf receiving phase.
The switch control circuit 430 is connected in parallel with the second structure capacitor 302. Therefore, in the radio frequency transmission phase, the switch control circuit 430 is turned on, and the first sub-electrode layer 111 and the second electrode layer 120 are electrically connected. In the rf receiving phase, the switch control circuit 430 is turned off, and the first sub-electrode layer 111 and the second electrode layer 120 are disconnected. The turn-on voltage of the switch control circuit 430 may be greater than 1 volt. That is, when the voltage difference between the first sub-electrode layer 111 and the second electrode layer is greater than 1v, the switch control circuit 430 is turned on. When the voltage difference between the first sub-electrode layer 111 and the second electrode layer 120 is less than 1 volt, the switch control circuit 430 is turned off.
During the rf transmitting phase, the switch control circuit 430 is turned on due to the large voltage difference across the structure capacitor. The first sub-electrode layer 111 and the second electrode layer 120 are electrically connected. In this case, the first sub-electrode layer 111 and the second electrode layer 120 cannot constitute the second structured capacitor 302. I.e. the curved magnetic field enhancing device 20 does not have resonant properties. The curved magnetic field enhancing device 20 cannot enhance the rf transmission field.
In the rf receiving phase, the voltage difference between the first sub-electrode layer 111 and the second electrode layer 120 is small, the switch control circuit 430 is turned off, and the first sub-electrode layer 111 and the second electrode layer 120 are disconnected. In this case, the first sub-electrode layer 111 and the second electrode layer 120 form the second structured capacitor 302. A plurality of said magnetic field enhancing assemblies 10 thus form an LC oscillating circuit.

During the rf transmission phase, the first diode 431 and the second diode 432 are turned on due to the large voltage difference on the structure capacitance. The first sub-electrode layer 111 and the second electrode layer 120 are electrically connected. In this case, the first sub-electrode layer 111 and the second electrode layer 120 cannot constitute the second structured capacitor 302. I.e. the curved magnetic field enhancing device 20 does not have resonant properties. The curved magnetic field enhancing device 20 cannot enhance the rf transmission field.
In the rf receiving stage, the voltage difference between the first sub-electrode layer 111 and the second electrode layer 120 is small, the first diode 431 and the second diode 432 are not turned on, and the first sub-electrode layer 111 and the second electrode layer 120 are turned off. In this case, the first sub-electrode layer 111 and the second electrode layer 120 form the second structured capacitor 302. A plurality of said magnetic field enhancing assemblies 10 thus form an LC oscillating circuit.

The switch control circuit 430 is configured to be turned on during the rf transmitting phase and turned off during the rf receiving phase.
The external capacitor 440 and the third external capacitor 443 may be adjustable capacitors, and in the rf transmitting phase, the switch control circuit 430 is turned on due to a large voltage difference between the first sub-electrode layer 111 and the second electrode layer 120. The third external capacitor 443 is connected between the first sub-electrode layer 111 and the second electrode layer 120, and the tuning degree of the loop in which the magnetic field enhancement assembly 10 is located during the rf transmission phase can be adjusted by adjusting the third external capacitor 443. I.e. the degree of tuning of the curved magnetic field enhancing device 20 during the radio frequency transmission phase, can be adjusted by means of the third external capacitor 443.
In the radio frequency emission stage, the third external capacitor 443 is adjusted to enable the magnetic field of the measured area to be the same as the magnetic field intensity after the curved magnetic field enhancement device 20 is added and before the curved magnetic field enhancement device 20 is added, at the moment, the measured area keeps the original magnetic field intensity, the influence of the curved magnetic field enhancement device 20 on the radio frequency emission stage can be eliminated, the curved magnetic field enhancement device 20 can be suitable for all clinical sequences, and the clinical practicability of the curved magnetic field enhancement device 20 is improved.

The fifth external capacitor 445 and the switch control circuit 430 are connected in series between the first sub-electrode layer 111 and the second sub-electrode layer 112. The fifth external capacitor 445 and the switch control circuit 430 are connected in series to form a circuit, which is connected in parallel with the external capacitor 440.
Therefore, when the switch control circuit 430 is turned on, the fifth external capacitor 445 and the external capacitor 440 are connected in parallel to the first sub-electrode layer 111 and the second sub-electrode layer 112. Compared with two capacitors connected in series, when the total capacitance value of the magnetic field enhancement component 10 is equal, the capacitance value of the fifth external capacitor 445 and the external capacitor 440 connected in parallel is larger, so that the capacitance values of the second structure capacitor 302 and the third structure capacitor 303 can be smaller, and therefore the loss of the magnetic field enhancement component 10 is reduced.
In the radio frequency transmitting stage, the resonant frequency of the loop where the magnetic field enhancing component 10 is located deviates far from the operating frequency of the magnetic resonance system, so that by adjusting the fifth external capacitor 445 and the external capacitor 440, it can be ensured that the magnetic field intensity of the magnetic field enhancing component 10 is the same in the radio frequency transmitting stage of the magnetic resonance system. It will be appreciated that the linear response characteristics of the curved magnetic field enhancing device 20 determine that it has the same resonant behavior during the rf transmit and rf receive stages.

The external capacitor 440 and the fifth external capacitor 445 are connected in series between the first sub-electrode layer 111 and the second sub-electrode layer 112.
In the rf receiving stage, the voltage difference between the first sub-electrode layer 111 and the second sub-electrode layer 112 is small, and the switch control circuit 430 is turned off. Only the external capacitor 440 is connected in series between the first sub-electrode layer 111 and the second sub-electrode layer 112. By adjusting the external capacitor 440, the resonant frequency of the loop where the magnetic field enhancement assembly 10 is located can be adjusted, so that the resonant frequency is equal to the frequency of the radio frequency coil, thereby greatly enhancing the radio frequency receiving field and improving the image signal to noise ratio.
