Description
従来の核磁気共鳴画像化(MRI)システムは、物体中の水素原子などのプロトンからの核磁気共鳴(MR)シグナルの画像を構築するために主に使用される画像診断法を提供している。医療用MRIにおいて、対象となる典型的なシグナルは、組織の主な水素含有成分である水及び脂肪からのMRシグナルである。
したがって、一次−遮蔽コイル対の形状及びサイズ、導電体ワイヤのパターン及びサイズ、並びに電流振幅及びパターンは、勾配磁場コイル120の外側の正味磁場が可能な限りゼロに近づくように選択することができる。円筒形状の磁石の場合、例えば、2つのコイルを、同心の円筒形体で配置することができ、垂直界磁石の場合、2つのコイルを、同軸ディスク状に配置することができる。
したがって、得られたMRシグナルにおいて十分な情報を見出すことができ、従来のMRI画像に基づく、プロトンの存在に関する物体のマップを構成することができる。例えば、プロトンの密度が組織の種類により変動するため、得られたシグナルが処理された後の画像コントラスト変化として組織の変化をマッピングすることができる。
スライス205の上下に位置しているプロトンは、通常、スライス選択パルス310により影響を受けない。
(等式1.1)
(等式1.2)
(等式1.3)
(等式1.4)
(等式1.5)
変形例では、上述の方法を、勾配磁場コイル以外の電磁石の設計、製造、及び動作に適用することも可能である。例えば、上述のプロセスに従って、補正コイル140を設計及び製造することも可能である。更なる例として、デルタ緩和拡張核磁気共鳴画像法(delta relaxation enhanced magnetic resonance imaging)において使用される磁場移動用コイルを、上述のプロセスに従って、設計及び製造し、動作させることもできる。
