摘要
本文的研究受到教育部高等学校博士学科点专项科研基金项目“开放式磁共振成像系统永磁型磁体匀场技术研究(基金号:20050142003)”的资助。
     开放式磁共振成像(Magnetic Resonance Imaging,MRI)系统是目前医用磁共振成像设备的主要发展方向之一。MRI系统的成像质量与其主磁体的匀场技术有着密切的联系。对于开放式永磁MRI装置来说,无源匀场更是当前研究的热点、难点。针对这一现状,本文就开放式永磁型MRI系统主磁体的无源匀场问题从以下几个方面进行了深入的研究。
     无源匀场主要靠贴补小磁片产生的磁场来抵消主磁体在空间成像区域产生磁场的不均匀谐波分量。因此需要确定单个小磁片在空间区域产生的附加磁场。本文采用了数值分析、解析求解以及实地测量三种方法,通过比较、验证,最终确定了单个小磁片在空间产生的磁场值,为无源匀场工作的研究奠定了基础。
     本文在研究整数线性规划优化理论的基础上,深入研究了实际的人工匀场过程,并吸收了相应的匀场经验,在此基础上提出了基于整数线性规划的中心匀场方法。该方法将成像球面采样点的磁场值逼近成像球域的中心磁场值,通过建立无源匀场数学模型,采用分枝定界法对磁体极面上所需垫补磁片的位置和数目进行合理规划,最终达到提高成像区域磁场均匀度的目的。
     本文提出采用数值分析方法计算极面上匀场磁片阵列在空间产生的磁场值,获得磁场后进行软件编程实现匀场过程,然后以此为基础反复计算匀场。结合匀场的粗调与细调过程,最后得到了在极面上先外圈后里圈的理论匀场方案。为了验证匀场算法与匀场方案的正确性,与MRI设备生产企业合作,进行了实地匀场实验。通过对测量与计算结果的比较,证实了本文提出的基于中心磁场值的匀场算法是有效的。
The research of this thesis is supported by the Doctoral Program Foundation of Chinese Higher Education Institutions, Ministry of Education of China—Study of the shimming technique of the permanent magnet for open magnetic resonance imaging system(under Grant 20050142003).
     The system of open MRI magnet is one of the significant development aspects of medical MRI device at the present time. Its image quality is closely related with the shimming technique. The passive shimming with permanent MRI magnet is still a hot and difficult investigation problem. In this thesis, the research on shimming problem for open permanent MRI magnet has been presented in detail. The main work is as follows.
     The way of passive shimming is to shim the magnet passively, using pieces of the permanent magnetic material placed at specified locations on the pole surfaces to bring an additional magnetic field which corrects the initial field. Therefore, the numeric analysis method, analytic solving and practical measuring are presented to determine the additional magnetic field created by a single shimming sheet in this paper, which lays a foundation on the passive shimming process.
     An improved method for allowing an MRI magnet to meet its demand to the field homogeneity has been developed. The method is denoted as central shimming based on the theory of integer linear programming, which involves procedure of practical shimming and experience from shimming engineers. The method proposed in the paper uses the value of central magnetic field in the imaging region to approximately correct the magnetic field of sampling points. After building the passive shimming model, the branch and bound method is adopted to optimize the shim locations and the number of shims at each allowable location which will bring the magnetic field uniformities to an acceptable level.
     Firstly, the numerical analysis method is proposed to compute the distribution of the magnetic field in the imaging region, which created by the shim arrays on the pole surface. Secondly, the related software is programmed to fulfill shimming steps. Thirdly, shimming is repeated based on the magnetic field corrected in the second step. The theoretical shimming scheme is obtained through combining process of the coarse and fine shimming, which is completed from outer rings to inner rings on the pole surface. In order to check the precision of the shimming algorithm proposed in this paper, shimming experiment of the queen-post permanent magnet is completed in the enterprise that produces the magnet used for MRI. According to the results comparison of measuring and computing, the validity of the method is testified finally.
