Abstract:
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising a vacuum container vacuumized inside thereof, a liquid refrigerant container installed in the vacuum container to store liquid refrigerant therein, a superconducting member installed inside the liquid refrigerant container to be rendered superconductive by being impregnated in the liquid refrigerant and allow current to flow therethrough, and a cryo-cooler connected to an insertion port provided in the liquid refrigerant container to re-condense gas evaporated from the liquid refrigerant in the liquid refrigerant container. The pressure in the liquid refrigerant container is caused to be raised to prevent air from flowing into the insertion port of the liquid refrigerant container from the outside of the vacuum container, and the cryo-cooler is replaced while the pressure in the liquid refrigerant container is greater than that of the outside.
Abstract:
In order to prevent quenching caused accidentally in a superconducting magnet, an MRI apparatus vibrates the superconducting magnet in order to prevent quenching of the superconducting magnet in a time period for which a predetermined imaging sequence is not executed (step 210). As a specific method, a gradient magnetic field may be generated by a gradient magnetic field coil for an imaging sequence of the MRI apparatus, or a gradient magnetic field may be generated using a gradient magnetic field coil for vibration provided apart from the gradient magnetic field coil for an imaging sequence. In addition, in a period for which the predetermined imaging sequence is not executed, a phantom may be imaged to prevent the quenching of the superconducting magnet.
