Magnetic resonance imaging MRI (Magneticresonance imaging) is a novel medical imaging technique. Protons (1H) of hydrogen atoms in the substance generate resonance phenomenon with radio frequency with a certain frequency under the action of an external magnetic field, after the radio frequency is canceled, the protons generate weak radio signals in the process of returning to an initial state, 1H of different tissues generate different radio signals, and a technology for acquiring and applying the radio signals to perform three-dimensional imaging is called magnetic resonance imaging. The higher the magnetic field strength, the higher the resolution of MRI, and in recent years, the research of "the electrician theory and key technology of the advanced magnetic resonance imaging system" is one of the important projects of engineering and materials, and the research aims to solve the problems of the magnetic performance degradation of the MRI system under the ultra-high magnetic field and ensure the autonomous controllability of the advanced MRI technology.
Under the ultra-high magnetic field, the magnetic susceptibility of biomedical implants is particularly critical, and the strong magnetic field can cause three adverse effects of the metal implants, namely (1) displacement dislocation; (2) heating affects surrounding tissue; (3) artifacts are created upon imaging. Artifact area and implant and human tissue (-10 to-7 x 10) -6 ) Volume magnetism betweenThe difference in the chemical susceptibility is related to the fact that the larger the difference in the magnetic susceptibility is, the larger the artifact area is.
