Description
Technical field
The present invention is a kind of linear hybrid optimization method of active shimming coils in magnetic resonance system, belongs to nuclear magnetic resonance
The design field of system unit.
Background technology
Magnetic resonance system is broadly divided into nuclear magnetic resonance (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and nuclear magnetic resoance spectrum
Instrument (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) two big class.MRI system has become medical industry as clinical diagnosises instrument
Indispensable medical instruments and equipment, compared with the equipment such as traditional X-ray, CT scanner, ultrasonic imaging device, with hurtless measure,
The advantages of low radiation dose, high-resolution and any direction tomoscan, through the development of more than 30 years, its application was extensive
Popularization.NMR system is then widely used in the field of scientific studies such as biomedicine, investigation of materials.
Used as the core component of magnetic resonance system, main magnet is used for the background magnetic for providing certain magnetic field intensity, high evenness
.Magnetic field intensity is one of important indicator of magnetic resonance system, and magnetic field intensity is higher, then the imaging time of magnetic resonance system is got over
Short, the resolution and definition of imaging is also higher.Uniformity of magnetic field is also the important indicator for affecting magnetic resonance system image quality,
General medicine whole body imaging magnetic resonance system requires that uniformity of magnetic field is in 5ppm (5 × 10 in the imaging ball body of 40~50cm-6)
Within, the uniformity of magnetic field requirement of functional imaging magnet system is then higher.
Due in main magnet in coil winding, assembling process, inevitably by coiling error, magnet skeleton
The impact of the factor such as cold events and rigging error, the true field uniformity of main magnet decline than the uniformity of magnetic field of design
1~2 magnitude.Therefore special shimming technique is needed to correct come the magnetic field in the imaging region to magnetic resonance system.
Shimming technique is divided into two kinds of passive shimming and active shimming.Wherein active shimming (Active shimming) is general
In high uniform magnet system, by designing several groups of annulars or saddle coil, different electric currents are passed to, by producing particular space
The magnetic field superposition of distribution is corresponded on the main magnetic field, respectively and offsets uneven component therein, so as to the magnetic field for improving main magnet is equal
Evenness, this technology are referred to as active shimming technique.
Active shimming technique has been widely used in some High-Fields, the magnetic resonance system of high evenness and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer
In, have become one of important indicator of decision magnetic resonance system equipment final performance.
Active shimming coils are divided into two kinds of superconducting coil and room-temperature coils.Superconduction shim coil is together put with main magnet coil
Put under liquid helium environment, in superconducting state, larger electric current can be loaded, its Main Function in shimming.Room temperature shim coil one
As be arranged on room temperature hole in, to compensate remaining Magnetic field inhomogeneity degree.
Traditional active method for shimming is analytic process, is carried out by the Distribution of Magnetic Field or harmonic component that produce to electrified wire
Analysis, so that it is determined that the location parameter of wire, which has the disadvantage that some coils cannot meet requirement because axial dimension is long, and
Multiturn coil can take certain space position, cause magnetic field precise decreasing.On this basis, in recent years numerical method is introduced
The design of shim coil, such as genetic algorithm (GA), SQP etc., its ultimate principle is:
1) by the spherical harmonics coefficient decomposition analysis to magnetic field, N*M point, construction are selected in imaging sphere or ellipsoid
Particular harmonic in Distribution of Magnetic Field, as the magnetic field of the goal with design;
2) number and location parameter of coil are preset, as the initial solution of optimization;
3) magnetic field at the specified point is solved, is obtained with the maximum field deviation of magnetic field of the goal as constraints;
4) other constraintss, such as the axial length constraint of coil, not overlay requirements of coil etc. are added;
5) using superconducting line consumption as goal condition;
6) result is obtained by the nonlinear optimization means such as genetic algorithm or SQP.
But due to having preset coil number and location parameter, there is certain limitation in optimization, it is impossible to ensure global optimum
Change result.And the coil number and location parameter of initial setting up are both become dependent upon, if arranging bad, convergence rate is very
Slowly, or even without solution.
Sharon E.Ungersma and Hao Xu of Stanford universities of the U.S. et al. propose that a kind of linear programming is used for setting
Room temperature shim coil is counted, the ultimate principle of the method is:
1) the three-dimensional continuous net lattice point of division on the skeleton of shim coil, the electric current of each mesh point have 8 optional directions,
Between can have electric current to pass through, and meet Kirchhoff's current law (KCL);
2) magnetic field configuration according to needed for each rank shimming, sets magnetic field deviation constraint condition, and with minimum heating power is
Object function, designs the controllable space three-dimensional current path figure of magnetic field deviation.
The result that the method is obtained is separate winding structure, is only applicable to room temperature shim coil, and with minimum heating power
For object function, it is impossible to obtain with line cost minimization scheme;As which arranges grid in three dimensions, each mesh point has 8
Degree of freedom, each degree of freedom are both needed to meet Kirchhoff's law and Distribution of Magnetic Field bit-type, therefore solving model scale is greatly, solves
Efficiency is very low.Therefore this method does not obtain practical application.
