Definitions
- the invention pertains to a nanoparticle radio frequency (RF) shield for use in an operative MR (Magnetic Resonance) scanner.
- RF radio frequency
- a static magnetic field (Bo) is used to align protons in a human body.
- a gradient magnetic field created by gradient coils may be superimposed to the static magnetic field, so that an obtained signal can be related to an exact location.
- the gradient magnetic field may be applied by using a pulse technique corresponding to frequencies fgrad of up to a few kHz.
- a so-called radio frequency (RF) coil is operated at radio wave frequencies fRF typically between 10 MHz and 100 MHz, depending on the Bo magnetic field strength, and a magnetic field strength Bi to excite the protons or other nuclei of atoms in the human body that subsequently emit RF magnetic resonance signals.
- RF body coils are commonly used to combine RF transmission and magnetic resonance signal receiving in one device.
- a decoupling of the gradient coils and the RF body coil by an RF shield at radio frequencies between 10 MHz and 100 MHz is most desirable. Further, a sensitivity of the RF body coil with respect to its position relative to the gradient coils shall be maintained.
- the RF shield ideally should attenuate the radio frequency, but should be transparent to frequencies of the pulses of the gradient magnetic field.
- electrically conductive plates made for instance from copper-clad laminate, are furnished with slits such that eddy currents can be induced in the copper shield.
- These slits are bridged by capacitors, impedances of which are high at low frequencies and low at high frequencies, so that eddy currents cannot be induced for the low frequencies of the gradient coil, but for the high frequencies of the RF body coil.
- an electrically conductive layer of some thickness is provided, in which the RF field generates the eddy currents by induction, which results in a magnetic field that is directed opposite to its cause, thus attenuating the RF field inside the conductive layer.
- the RF field generates the eddy currents by induction, which results in a magnetic field that is directed opposite to its cause, thus attenuating the RF field inside the conductive layer.
- no shielding of the magnetic field occurs (region A of Fig. 1).
- the shielding should be within region A of the damping curve of Fig. 1 , and for RF frequencies, the shielding should be within region C.
- fi and f 2 are correlated in isotropic conducting materials, like metals, according to:
- d denotes a thickness of the electrically conductive material
- w a largest dimension of an RF shield
- ⁇ the electrical conductivity of the isotropic material
- ⁇ the magnetic permeability of the vacuum
- ⁇ ⁇ the relative magnetic permeability of the isotropic material.
- the ratio f 2 / fi is predetermined by the MR scanner imaging application requirements as mentioned above, the ratio of dimensions w, which is given by the object to be shielded, and thickness d of the electrically conductive material, is fixed.
- transparent shall be understood particularly such that an electromagnetic field is attenuated by the RF shield by less than 6 dB, preferably less than 3 dB in terms of power.
- the object is achieved by a radio frequency (RF) shield for use in a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging scanner, comprising a carrier and a plurality of nanoparticles, wherein, in a state of operation, the plurality of nanoparticles is immovably connected to the carrier and is aligned along a direction in space, and wherein the plurality of nanoparticles has an anisotropic electrical conductivity in the direction in space.
- RF radio frequency
- MR magnetic resonance
- the ratio a w / ad may represent a degree of the anisotropy of the electrical conductivity in the two directions. The higher the ratio a w / ad, the larger an RF shield can be provided at a given thickness d.
- the carrier essentially encompasses the plurality of nanoparticles, thus providing a protective environment for the electrically conductive plurality of nanoparticles in a mechanically stable arrangement.
- the carrier has an electrical conductivity that is substantially lower than the anisotropic electrical conductivity of the plurality of nanoparticles. With the electrical conductivity of the carrier being negligible in comparison to the anisotropic electrical conductivity of the plurality of nanoparticles, design options provided for the RF shield will not be affected.
- the direction in space in at least one contiguous portion is a curved line that essentially completely lies in a plane.
- An alignment like this may allow for an effective attenuation of an RF field directed in a direction that is perpendicular to the curved line, while the RF shield may be transparent to other RF field directions at the same time.
- the curved line may represent at least a portion of a circular arc or a complete circle.
- the curved line may also represent another closed figure in the plane, like an ellipse.
- the term "curved line" may also include closed polygons with rounded corners.
- the carrier is essentially made from a plastic polymer.
- Plastic polymer carriers may be of light-weight design and may provide a low-cost solution of the protective environment for the nanoparticles.
- the plastic polymer is one of the group of thermoplastic materials which the one of skills in the art is familiar with. Thereby, a number of well-known production methods applicable to thermoplastics, such like injection or compression molding, may become available for a production of the RF shield.
- the anisotropic electrical conductivity of the plurality of nanoparticles can be represented by a tensor having eigenvalues that differ by a factor of at least 50. Such a degree of anisotropy in electrical conductivity may give rise to a large number of design options for the RF shield.
- the nanoparticles are selected from a group of materials consisting of carbon nanotubes, carbon fibers, and graphene.
- graphene shall be understood particularly as an allotrope of carbon formed by a one-atom-thick planar sheet of carbon atoms that are arranged in a honeycomb crystal lattice.
- the carbon nanotubes that are familiar to the one of skills in the art shall be understood to comprise single-walled nanotubes (SWNT) as well as multi-walled nanotubes (MWNT).
- SWNT single-walled nanotubes
- MWNT multi-walled nanotubes
- Nanoparticles selected from this group of materials show an intrinsic anisotropic electrical conductivity and may have the potential to be usable for an RF shield which has an anisotropic electrical conductivity in at least one direction.
- the nanoparticles are furnished with at least one electrical dipole member to create a permanent electrical dipole moment.
- Nanoparticles with a permanent electrical dipole moment may allow for a creation of an anisotropic electrical conductivity in at least one direction by maintaining an alignment of the nanoparticles during a curing state of production of an RF shield by applying an external electrical field.
- heteroatoms such as nitrogen or boron may be used as electrical dipole members.
- the nanoparticles may be furnished with a permanent magnetic dipole member to create a permanent magnetic dipole which may provide advantageous options for an alignment of the nanoparticles by applying an external magnetic field during the production of an RF shield.
- Preferred permanent magnetic dipole members may be iron oxide Fe x O y or ferrites, such as barium ferrite BaO ' 6Fe x O y .
- Fig. 1 shows a simplified view of a shield damping curve
- Fig. 2 illustrates an RF shield in accordance with the invention, arranged in a coil arrangement of an MR scanner
- Fig. 3 is a simplified cross-sectional view of the RF shield according to Fig. 2, and
- Fig. 4 illustrates another embodiment of an RF shield in accordance with the invention.
- Fig. 1 shows a simplified view of a shield damping curve that has partially been already discussed in the introduction.
- the ratio of the cutoff- frequencies f l s f 2 has to equal a product of a ratio of the RF shield dimension w and the thickness d, and a ratio of electrical conductivities a w and d of the RF shield (Fig. 2) in directions that are aligned with the RF shield dimension w and the thickness d, respectively.
- equation (III) seems to imply that only the ratio of the RF shield dimension w and the thickness d is of importance, it should be noted here that a certain absolute thickness d is required to obtain a desired absolute value for ft by equation (II), so that the thickness d cannot be made small at discretion to fulfill equation (III).
- the RF shield dimension w needs to be as large as two thousand times the thickness d. If the required thickness d was 0.5 mm, this results in an RF shield dimension w of 1000 mm.
- Fig. 2 Illustrated in Fig. 2 is a simplified lateral cross-sectional view of a coil arrangement of a magnetic resonance (MR) scanner 10.
- the MR scanner 10 comprises a main magnet 12 to create a static magnetic field Bo.
- the main magnet 12 provides an imaging volume 14 for a patient, in which the static magnetic field Bo is essentially homogenous and directed along a straight direction which is commonly referred to as the z- axis 28.
- the MR scanner 10 furthermore comprises gradient coils 16 to generate a gradient magnetic field.
- the gradient coils 16 are arranged between the main magnet 12 and the imaging volume 14 and are provided to be operated by current pulses having a bandwidth of 3 kHz.
- an RF body coil 18 is provided to transmit RF waves of RF magnetic field strength B l s and to subsequently receive RF signals from excited nuclei within the imaging volume 14.
- the RF body coil 18 is disposed between the gradient coil 16 and the imaging volume 14.
- an RF shield shaped as a hollow cylinder 20 is arranged concentrically to the gradient coils 16 and between the gradient coils 16 and the RF body coil 18.
- the RF shield comprises a carrier 22 made from thermoplastic polymer polyamide (Fig. 3).
- the hollow cylinder 20 comprises a plurality of nanoparticles 24 that is immovably connected to the carrier 22 such that the carrier 22 completely
- each nanotube of the plurality of nanotubes encompasses each nanotube of the plurality of nanotubes; thus providing mechanical protection and stability.
- the plurality of nanoparticles 24 is aligned along a direction 26 in space which is a straight line parallel to the z-axis 28 through a center of the imaging volume 14, wherein the z-axis 28 is arranged parallel to the static magnetic field Bo.
- the nanoparticles 24 of the plurality of nanoparticles 24 are formed by (single-walled) carbon nanotubes. These carbon nanotubes have a metal-like electrical conductivity along a direction of extension which coincides with the direction 26 of alignment. In directions perpendicular to the direction of alignment 26, an electrical conductivity of the plurality of carbon nanotubes is lower by a factor of at least 1000. Along the direction of alignment 26, individual nanotubes overlap and may contact adjacent nanotubes which results in a high electrical conductivity in the direction 26 of alignment, so that the plurality of nanoparticles 24 has an anisotropic electrical conductivity in this direction 26.
- each individual carbon nanotube has been furnished with electrical dipole members 30 to create a permanent electrical dipole moment.
- an external electric field E in a phase during production of the RF shield in which the plastic polymer is in a softened or even liquid state, thus allowing a change of orientation of the electrical dipoles, and by maintaining the external electric field E until the plastic polymer hardens, a uniform alignment may be attained as shown in Fig. 3.
- the electrical dipole members are formed by boron heteroatoms, each of the nanotubes has been doped with. Due to the lower electronegativity of boron atoms in comparison to carbon atoms, a center of the electric charge of binding electrons is shifted towards the carbon atom, resulting in a permanent electric dipole configuration of the nanotubes.
- a mathematical description of the electrical conductivity of the plurality of nanotubes may be provided by a 3 x 3-tensor.
- this tensor would be a diagonal matrix, with the diagonal elements being the eigenvalues of the electrical conductivity in the directions of the selected coordinate system.
- the tensor that represents the anisotropic electrical conductivity of the plurality of carbon nanotubes of the RF shield has eigenvalues that thereby differ by a factor of about 1000.
- An electrical conductivity of the carrier is lower than the anisotropic electrical conductivity of the plurality of nanotubes by several orders of magnitude, so that the electrical conductivity of the hollow cylinder 20 is, for practical purposes, completely ruled by that of the aligned nanotubes.
- the RF wave that is emitted by the RF body coil 18 has a magnetic field strength Bi and is essentially directed perpendicular to the static magnetic field Bo and the gradient field.
- Bi magnetic field strength
- eddy currents are being induced in the RF shield in the direction of alignment 26 of the nanotubes, attenuating the field strength Bi as their cause of generation.
- No eddy currents are induced by the magnetic gradient field pulses, as the electrical conductivity of the plurality of nanoparticles 24 in directions perpendicular to the direction of alignment 26 is low.
- FIG. 4 shows the RF shield formed as a shielding box 32 for shielding an RF coil electronic unit 34 from the RF transmit field generated by the RF body coil 18 (or local RF transmit coils) of the MR scanner 10, and, vice versa, shielding the RF body coil 18 (and other RF receive coils) from spurious signals generated by the RF coil electronic unit 34.
- the RF coil electronic unit 34 is placed inside the shielding box 32.
- the shielding effectiveness has to be much higher than for the RF shield of the first embodiment, while for magnetic gradient field frequencies f gra d the shielding box 32 still has to be transparent.
- the shielding box 32 comprises a carrier 38 made from the injection-mo ldable thermoplastic acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and a plurality of nanoparticles formed by silver-coated carbon nanotubes 40.
- ABS injection-mo ldable thermoplastic acrylonitrile butadiene styrene
- the silver-coated carbon nanotubes 40 are aligned in parallel to a shorter edge for each of the six faces of the shielding box, respectively.
- eddy currents can be generated in the shielding box 32 to attenuate the RF field, while at the same time, it is transparent to the gradient field frequency in the region of a few kHz.
