Description

Local coil device and magnetic resonance tomography apparatus
Technical Field
The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to device of mammary gland magnetic resonance tomography examination.
Background
Commonly used examination methods of breast health include X-ray breast examination (breast molybdenum target), ultrasound examination, magnetic resonance tomography breast examination, and surgical biopsy. Breast magnetic resonance tomography examinations are more effective in the examined spatial range and sensitivity to multiple breast diseases than, for example, breast X-ray imaging. Unlike the usual mammography method, the breast does not have to be damaged by X-rays.
In magnetic resonance tomography devices, the body or body part to be examined is usually subjected to a defined basic magnetic field (often referred to as B) by means of a basic magnetic field system0Field). Additionally, magnetic field gradients are applied by means of a basic gradient system. A high-frequency magnetic resonance excitation signal (HF signal) having a defined field strength is transmitted via a high-frequency transmission system and then by means of a suitable antenna. The transmission of the high-frequency signals for the magnetization of the nuclear spins is usually carried out using a so-called "whole-body coil" or "body coil" which is fixedly embedded in the magnetic resonance tomography apparatus, for example a Birdcage antenna (Birdcage antenna). The whole-body coil encloses a measurement space, often also referred to as "patient tunnel", in which the patient is positioned during the examination. The magnetic flux density of the excitation field is generally B1The high-frequency field representing and pulse-shaped is correspondingly also referred to as B for short1A field. The rf pulses cause the nuclear spins of the particular atoms resonantly excited by the B1 field to rotate at a defined flip angle. Upon relaxation of the nuclear spins, high-frequency signals, so-called magnetic resonance signals, are radiated again. The accurate stereo image of the inside of the human tissue is obtained by receiving the magnetic resonance signal by the receiver/coil and reconstructing and processing the magnetic resonance signal by using a computer image reconstruction algorithm.

Detailed Description
In order to more clearly understand the technical features, objects, and effects of the present invention, embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout.
"exemplary" means "serving as an example, instance, or illustration" herein, and any illustration, embodiment, or steps described as "exemplary" herein should not be construed as a preferred or advantageous alternative.
For the sake of simplicity, the drawings only schematically show the parts relevant to the present invention, and they do not represent the actual structure as a product. In addition, in order to make the drawings concise and understandable, components having the same structure or function in some of the drawings are only schematically illustrated or only labeled.
In this document, "one" means not only "only one" but also a case of "more than one". In this document, "first", "second", and the like are used only for distinguishing one from another, and do not indicate the degree of importance and order thereof, and the premise that each other exists, and the like.
A magnetic resonance tomography system may receive magnetic resonance signals of local tissue of a body using a local coil. Local coils have a higher signal-to-noise ratio. This is essentially an antenna system mounted near the patient. The magnetic resonance signals induce a voltage in the respective antenna of the local coil, for which voltage they are then amplified by a low-noise preamplifier (LAN, Preamp) and finally transmitted to the receiving electronics. For different possibilities of use, special local coils are provided here, for example breast coils for checking the health of the female breast, which usually require specially designed high-resolution magnetic resonance tomography breast coils that can be fitted to the breast in order to show small lesions and fine structures of the breast. Breast coils typically have a coil housing, which typically has two breast recesses arranged side by side, which are generally circular in cross section, in which the breasts are accommodated. A plurality of coil elements with corresponding electronic components are usually arranged in the housing around the breast. However, it is expensive to make a special magnetic resonance breast coil. At the same time, compared to other local coils, such as: abdominal coil, spine coil, etc., which are used less frequently. This has led to the current use of magnetic resonance tomography to examine the health of the breast, which is not widely spread due to the high cost and low availability of specialized breast coils.
In some cases, when magnetic resonance tomography is performed using, for example, spine coils, abdominal coils, etc. instead of breast coils, the complicated arrangement and placement of the coils increases discomfort and scanning time for the prone patient. The local coil used for replacing the mammary gland coil is far away from the scanning part, the signal to noise ratio of the imaged part is low due to no coil is arranged around the focus, and the image quality is not ideal.
The present disclosure provides a local coil device, which is detachably and fixedly installed with a supporting unit through a coil unit set, and defines a space for accommodating a breast of a patient with the coil unit set and the supporting unit for imaging, so that the coil unit set can be closer to a breast tissue of the patient, and has better signal-to-noise ratio and image quality. In addition, the arrangement mode of the coil unit group can be suitable for shooting other parts of the patient, such as: spine, abdomen, etc. So that the coil unit set of the present disclosure can be used for other purposes when detached from the supporting unit. This increases the frequency of use and the range of coil unit group in the local coil device of this disclosure, has better popularization nature.
The local coil device of the present disclosure will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1, a local coil device 20 for magnetic resonance tomography of a breast region of the present disclosure includes: the supporting unit 30 comprises a supporting shell 31, the supporting shell 31 is provided with a supporting surface for supporting the patient to lie on the stomach, and a mounting part 32 for mounting a coil unit group is arranged on the supporting surface. The coil unit group 40 is detachably attached to the support unit 30 by fitting to the attachment portion 32. The coil unit group 40 includes: at least one first radio frequency surface coil 42, the closed loop of the first radio frequency surface coil 42 being capable of surrounding a breast of the patient. A first opening 33 may be opened in the support housing 31 at a position corresponding to the first rf surface coil 42 to form an accommodating space for accommodating the breast of the patient, so that the breast of the patient can be imaged at the accommodating space after passing through the region surrounded by the first rf surface coil 42.
According to some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, the coil unit group 40 further includes: the second RF surface coil 43 may be disposed adjacent to the first RF surface coil 42 in the same plane, and a multi-channel RF surface coil assembly is formed by the second RF surface coil 43 and the first RF surface coil 42. Additionally, the edges of the first radio frequency surface coil 42 may overlap with the edges of the adjacent second radio frequency surface coil 43 for decoupling. It should be noted that adjacent first rf surface coil 42 and second rf surface coil 43 are decoupled by the low noise amplifier by overlapping at the edges.
It should be noted that the breast of the patient P can pass through the region enclosed by the first rf surface coil 42 to ensure that the first rf surface coil 42 can fit to the focus of the breast of the patient, and the region enclosed by the first rf surface coil and the accommodating space of the supporting shell 31 together define a space for imaging, so as to obtain a higher signal-to-noise ratio and obtain a better image quality.
According to an illustrated embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the mounting portion 32 may open directly onto the support surface to support the area enclosed by the first rf surface coil 42 mounted on the mounting portion 32 when the patient P is lying prone on the support surface. In addition, the support housing 31 may also generally have an angled slope to guide the patient P to lie prone on the support surface of the support housing 31.
It should be noted that the radio frequency surface coil is a common local coil in a magnetic resonance tomography apparatus to receive magnetic resonance signals of local tissues of a human body, and a multi-channel radio frequency surface coil set constructed by a plurality of radio frequency surface coils is widely used as follows: local coils at the spine, abdomen, etc. This allows the multi-channel rf surface coil assembly of the present embodiment, which is constructed by arranging the first rf surface coil 42 and the second rf surface coil 43 adjacent to each other in the same plane, to have the advantage of being used as a local coil for the spine, abdomen, etc.
In addition, the cooperation between the coil unit group 40 and the mounting portion 32 enables the coil unit group 40 to be detachably mounted on the support unit 30.

According to some embodiments, the mating member may be a snap member, a removable securing member, such as: the configuration of the interface between the coil unit set 40 and the mounting portion 32 enables removable mating securement of the two. The coil unit group 40 can be easily mounted on and dismounted from the supporting unit 30, so that the multi-channel rf surface coil group according to this embodiment can be mounted on the supporting unit 30 as a local coil for receiving magnetic resonance signals proximate to the breast of the patient P, or can be independently used as a local coil at the position of the spine, abdomen, or the like when being dismounted from the supporting unit 30, which increases the usage scenarios and usage rates of the coil unit group 40 in the local coil apparatus 20 according to this embodiment.
According to some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1 and 5, the coil unit set 40 may include a coil housing 41, the multi-channel rf surface coil set is installed in the coil housing 41, and a second opening 44 is opened on the coil housing 41 at a position of the first rf surface coil 42 to allow the breast to enter the region enclosed by the first rf surface coil 42 through the second opening 44. The coil housing 41 may be made of engineering plastic or other materials that are generally suitable for adapting to the operating environment of the magnetic resonance tomography apparatus, which is not limited in this embodiment. It will be appreciated that when the coil housing 41 is mounted on the support unit, the patient's breast can be accessed through the second opening 44 in the coil housing into the receiving space provided in the support housing 31 at a position corresponding to the first radio frequency surface coil 42 to receive the breast of the patient P when the patient is lying prone on the support housing 31.
According to some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1 and 5, fig. 5 shows the coil housing 41 in a view facing the side mounted to the support housing 31. The mounting portion 32 of the support case 31 opens an accommodating space in which the coil case 41 is mounted to accommodate the coil case 41. The surface of the mounting portion 32 is further opened with a groove 34, the surface of the coil housing 41 facing the mounting portion 32 is opened with a protrusion 45, the position of the protrusion 45 corresponds to the position of the groove 34, so that the coil unit group 40 can be fixed/mounted on the supporting unit 30 by the cooperation between the protrusion 45 and the groove 34, and the coil housing 41 can make the protrusion 45 separate from the fixing with the groove 34 under the action of external force, thereby realizing the detachable mounting of the coil unit group 40 on the supporting unit 30. According to an illustrated embodiment, the mounting portion 32 of the support housing 31 defines an accommodating space having the same contour and size as the coil housing 41, which is not further limited in this embodiment.
According to some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, 2 and 3, the local coil device 20 may further include: the cushion unit 50 can be installed on the coil unit set 40, and the cushion unit 50 is opened with a third opening 51, and the position of the third opening 51 corresponds to the position of the first rf surface coil 42, so that the breast of the patient can pass through the third opening 51 and then be surrounded by the first rf surface coil 42. It will be appreciated that the use of the cushion unit 51 increases the comfort of the patient in making a breast magnetic resonance tomography examination. The patient's breast may be received in the support housing 31 through the third opening 51 in the cushion unit 50, the second opening 44 in the coil housing 41, and the first opening 33 in the support housing 31 at a location corresponding to the first rf surface coil 42 to form a receiving space. The first radio frequency surface coil 42 may be utilized to receive magnetic resonance signals from the patient's breast within its enclosed region. Through the arrangement of the cushion unit 50, the coil unit group 40 and the support unit 30 in a reasonable position relationship, the first RF surface coil 42 is closer to the breast part by utilizing the structure thereof, and the optimal image signal-to-noise ratio is realized by using less coil units.
The multi-channel rf surface coil assembly comprising the first rf surface coil 42 and the second rf surface coil 43 provided by the present disclosure is described below with reference to the drawings.

It should be noted that the breasts of the patient P can be respectively passed through the respective regions enclosed by the pair of first rf surface coils 42, so that the first rf surface coils 42 are in close proximity to the breast tissue of the patient P to achieve the best image signal-to-noise ratio with respect to the breast tissue. It will be appreciated that the principle of decoupling by means of a low noise amplifier when overlapping at the edges of adjacent radio frequency surface coils is exploited in the above manner is not described in detail.
According to another illustrated embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the first rf surface coils 42 of the coil unit group 40 may have a width ratio of 3:2 to the adjacent second rf surface coils 43 such that an 8-channel rf surface coil group is constructed by arranging one side of a pair of first rf surface coils 42 arranged side by side adjacent to three second rf surface coils 43 arranged side by side and the other side of the pair of first rf surface coils 42 arranged side by side also adjacent to the other three second rf surface coils 43 arranged side by side. The first rf surface coil 42 and the second rf surface coil 43 are configured as an 8-channel rf surface coil set by way of example only, and it is understood that the configuration is not limited to this manner, nor to an 8-channel rf surface coil set.

All these components and the basic working of such an imaging system are well known to the person skilled in the art and therefore need not be explained in detail here.
The control device 10 need not necessarily be configured as an integrated unit, as is shown here, but may also be formed from a plurality of separate units, which are networked with one another in a suitable manner. The various components may also be implemented in software on a verified microcontroller. This applies in particular to the measurement control unit, the reconstruction unit or sub-modules thereof. It can be implemented, if necessary together with other components, on one or more computer units (e.g., microcontrollers) belonging to the control device.
