Description

一种便携式核磁共振器官弹性无创定量检测方法 技术领域
本发明涉及一种核磁共振医学检测技术领域，尤其涉及一种便携式核磁共振器官弹性无创定量检测方法。
背景技术
弹性是生物组织的一个重要的机械力学参数，它表征了组织在机械外力作用下的形变难易程度。组织弹性的变化与其生理病理状态密切相关，据此可以区分正常与病理组织。目前，基于组织弹性的检测方法已经在肿瘤诊断以及肝脏纤维化的分级和康复评估中得到了积极的应用。在传统医学上，医生通过触诊来定性地判断组织弹性大小，进而诊断病变，诊断结果误差大，受操作者主观影响大。近年来，基于超声/核磁共振的非侵入式弹性定量技术方兴未艾。基于超声的弹性定量方法利用超声波测量剪切波在组织内传播的速度，进而组织的弹性模量估算值，但测量过程易受运动影响，对操作者依赖性强。而基于常规核磁共振的弹性定量技术则是利用一个相位对比度成像脉冲序列，采集得到在剪切力的作用下生物组织内的应变分布图，再经过一定的弹性成像算法进行图像处理，得到组织弹性定量分布图。由于需要成像，这种方法耗时较长，也易受运动影响，且检测成本高，在常规临床检测中普遍适用性不强。
发明内容
本发明的目的在于提供一种便携式核磁共振器官弹性无创定量检测方法，合理有效地解决了现有技术的超声波弹性检测对操作者依赖性大、对运动敏感的区分率低和采用磁共振的弹性成像检测的扫描时间太长、且价格高昂、设备资源紧张、不能适用床旁检测和快速筛查的问题。
本发明的技术原理：
剪切波在组织传播过程中，其波速与剪切弹性模量近似满足如下关系：
G＝ρv 2         (1)
其中，G是剪切弹性模量，ρ是组织密度，v是波速。
在实际中，通常认为软组织密度接近水密度，因此ρ可取水的密度值。同时，所述剪切波在组织中传播的速度与其波长满足关系：
v＝λf        (2)
其中，λ是波长，f是频率。由式(1)～(2)可知，只要求得剪切波在组织传播过程中的波长或波速，即可确定组织的剪切弹性模量。
本发明基于便携式核磁共振原理，其脉冲序列如图4所示，通过外部的简谐振动激励装置，在组织内产生一个剪切波，然后以便携式磁体产生的静态梯度作为运动敏感梯度将组织的振动信息编码到一维图像的相位中，其相位可以表示为：
Figure PCTCN2020077598-appb-000001
其中，γ是磁旋比，N是振动周期数，T是简谐振动周期，
Figure PCTCN2020077598-appb-000002
为运动敏感梯度，
Figure PCTCN2020077598-appb-000003
为振幅，
Figure PCTCN2020077598-appb-000004
是波矢量，
Figure PCTCN2020077598-appb-000005
是质点位置矢量，α是简谐振动的初始相位。从式(3)可以看出，一维图像的相位与组织振动造成的位移成简单的线性关系。因此，通过一维图像的相位曲线即可估算剪切波在组织中的波长，再由式(2)计算出剪切波传播速度，最终通过式(1)，即可获得组织的剪切弹性模量。

    步骤一、建构系统：首先建构便携式核磁共振器官弹性无创定量系统，所述测量系统采用便携式核磁共振系统、机械振动激励装置和控制台建构系统架构，所述便携式核磁共振系统主要包括NMR频谱仪、功率放大器、前置放大器、收发切换模块、便携式磁体模块和探头，所述NMR频谱仪设有发射(Tx)和门控(GATE)单向信号通路与一台功率放大器连接，设有收发转换门控(T/R GATE)与收发切换模块连接，所述功率放大器将发射信号放大后与收发切换模块连接，所述收发切换模块与所述探头连接，所述收发切换模块用于切换所述便携式核磁共振系统处于发射状态或接收状态，所述便携式磁体模块设有单边磁体，所述单边磁体设置为与目标检样器官相邻的身体表面贴合的人体工程学弧曲面，背面连接设有磁轭，背面磁场强度迅速衰减；所述机械振动激励装置设有主动驱动器和被动驱动器，所述被动驱动器与主动驱动器通过气动方式连接并贴合安放在目标检样器官相邻的身体表面，且在组织内部产生剪切波，所述控制台与所述NMR频谱仪连接，控制运行核磁共振脉冲序列指令，并接收NMR频谱仪采集到的核磁共振信号，完成实时数据处理；
    步骤二、连接检测部位：将所述被动驱动器、便携式磁体模块和探头固定贴合在目标检样器官对应的人体表面；
    步骤三、启动检测系统：点击系统启动键，运行所述便携式核磁共振弹性测量系统；
    步骤四、采集检样数据：所述NMR频谱仪通过所述机械振动激励装置的主动驱动器产生并传送振动到被动驱动器产生振动后在组织内部产生剪切波，在组织振动状态稳定后，所述NMR频谱仪通过所述探头按照弹性测量脉冲序列规定的时序发射一个90度射频脉冲，由于磁场梯度的 存在，ROI范围内一定层面厚度内的自旋将被激发，经过一定的振动周期后，施加180度脉冲，在所述180度脉冲之后，自旋聚相，检测回波信号并传输回控制台完成计算；在至少一种设置中，将通过部分运动编码缩短回波时间或多次信号累加或二者的组合来提高SNR；为了提高相位敏感度，在至少一种设置中，将施加多个180度射频脉冲；
    步骤五、检样数据分析：为分析组织内剪切波的波长或波速，对采集到的回波数据做傅里叶变换，得到空间域内的一维组织轮廓，所述一维轮廓的相位即是在剪切波传播方向上组织的空间相位曲线，其分布满足式

    为运动敏感梯度，
    Figure PCTCN2020077598-appb-100003
    为振幅，由此即可确定剪切波在组织内传播的波长或波速，再由波速与剪切弹性模量的关系式G＝ρv 2，式中，G是剪切弹性模量，v是波速，ρ是组织密度，对于软组织，ρ通常取为水的密度值，即运算出组织的弹性模量值，构成所述一种便携式核磁共振器官弹性无创定量检测方法。

    Figure PCTCN2020077598-appb-100004
    所表达的正弦曲线，也可以用以估算剪切波的波长或波速，进而确定剪切弹性模量值。
