Abstract:
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a unit (shim coil) that corrects uniformity of a magnetic field, a temperature detecting unit that detects a temperature of a magnet or its surroundings, and a control unit that controls the shim coil based on the detected temperature. The control unit calculates an error component for changing the uniformity of the magnetic field at the detected temperature of the magnet or its surroundings, based on a temperature characteristic of uniformity of the magnetic field calculated in advance. Further, the control unit calculates a shim current that generates a correction magnetic field for canceling the error component, and drives the shim coil based on this shim current.
Abstract:
An MRI apparatus has a plurality of shim coils 102 and gradient magnetic field coils 104, which are connected to power sources 103 and 105 respectively. These power sources are controlled by a computer 112 to correct intensity of a static magnetic field generated by a magnet. For this purpose, the power sources 103 and 105 supply composite current of DC and AC so that the shim coils and the gradient magnetic field coils generate a rotating magnetic field. As a result, the uniformity of the static magnetic field in a region of an object under examination is improved and image distortion is suppressed. The MRI apparatus can be effectively applied to a fast imaging technique, an imaging technique where NMR signals of adipose tissue are suppressed, and a high resolution spectrum.
Abstract:
Continuous high-frequency waves and pulse-like high-frequency waves of the same frequency are selectively applied to a specimen placed in a unidirectional magnetic field, whereby resonance signals and free induction decay signals are selectively produced by the specimen. These signals are detected, and the detected free induction decay signals are Fourier-transformed, so that the continuous wave nuclear gyromagnetic resonance and the Fourier-transformed nuclear gyromagnetic resonance can be selectively measured.
