Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a magnetic resonance rf coil for a head according to an embodiment of the present application. Fig. 4 is a schematic view of the product of fig. 3 in a perspective state. As shown in fig. 1-4, a system for magnetic resonance imaging, comprising: a frame 10, a head magnetic resonance radio frequency coil 20 and a stimulation device 30. Wherein the frame 10 comprises a frame bottom 11 for positioning beside a head rest (i.e. headrest, which is part of the existing magnetic resonance imaging apparatus), a frame top 12 above the frame bottom 11, and a frame side 13 connected between the frame bottom 11 and the frame top 12, the frame bottom 11, the frame top 12, and the frame side 13 defining a head receiving area 14, one end of the head receiving area 14 being open outside of a shoulder placement area 15 of the subject 40 and the other end being open to form a first stimulation apparatus mounting area 16, the frame top 12 being provided with a second stimulation apparatus mounting area 17; the head magnetic resonance rf coil 20 comprises a flexible wearable base 21 (which may be made of EVA material, i.e. ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer material) and an rf coil 22 disposed in the flexible wearable base 21, wherein the head magnetic resonance rf coil 20 is further provided with a viewing hole 23 and an equipment abdication area 24, respectively, when the head magnetic resonance rf coil 20 is worn on the head of the subject 40, the equipment abdication area 24 provides a first channel exposing a specific portion of the head of the subject 40, and the viewing hole 23 provides a second channel for the subject to observe outwards; the stimulation device 30 comprises a first stimulation device 31 and a second stimulation device 32, the first stimulation device 31 and the second stimulation device 32 are respectively installed in the first device installation area 16 and the second device installation area 17 at the same time or in a time sharing mode, the first stimulation device 31 is an electromagnetic stimulation device and acts on the tested person 40 through the first channel, and the second stimulation device 32 is a visual stimulation device and acts on the tested person 40 through the second channel.
The first stimulation device may be at least one or more of transcranial magnetic stimulation Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation device (TMS device for short), transcranial direct current stimulation transcranial Direct Current Stimulation device (tDCS device for short) and focused ultrasound interventional therapy MR guide Focused Ultrasound device (MRgFUS device for short) under magnetic resonance guidance. The second stimulation device may be a Virtual Reality (VR) device. TMS equipment, tDCS equipment, MRgFUS equipment and VR equipment are all prior art. Wherein, the TMS device and the TDCS device both use pulse magnetic field or weak direct current to act on the brain, and change the membrane potential of cortical nerve cells to influence the metabolism and the nerve electrical activity in the brain, thereby causing a series of physiological and biochemical reactions. The TMS device generates an induced magnetic field by pulsed current in the coil, passes through the skull, generates a reverse induced current in the brain, and the current in the cortex can activate neurons and cause microscopic changes in axons, further causing changes in electrophysiology and function. the tDCS device functions by modulating the activity of spontaneous neuronal networks; at the neuronal level, the basic mechanism of regulating cortical excitability is to induce hyperpolarization or depolarization change of resting membrane potential according to the polarity of stimulation, and at the same time, the micro-environment of synapses can be regulated, such as changing the activity of NMDA receptors or GABA, so as to play a role in regulating synaptic plasticity. Along with the accumulation of clinical evidence, neural regulation and control technologies such as TMS equipment, tDCS equipment and the like are gradually evolved into regulation and control treatment means of diseases. The MRgFUS device is a newer non-ionizing radiation and non-invasive precise noninvasive regulation and control technology, and the intervention treatment mode utilizes the mechanical effect (the change of sound intensity and frequency) of ultrasonic waves to activate or inhibit nerve cells, and has the characteristics of precise positioning, small action area, high targeting, good multi-parameter regulation and control performance, capability of stimulating intracranial deep tissues and the like, the action range of focused ultrasound can be precisely up to a micron-sized pressure, and the intervention on deep parts of human brain tissues can be realized. Overall, MRgFUS devices can achieve more accurate and effective brain function intervention regulation than TMS devices or tDCS devices.
It has also been found from the above description that the TMS device and/or the TDCS device act mainly on the superficial brain structures and the MRgFUS device acts mainly on the deep brain structures, and thus, when the first stimulation apparatus comprises the TMS device and/or the TDCS device in combination with the MRgFUS device, a more comprehensive transcranial stimulation need may be met.

The main advantage of the characteristics is that the whole system has extremely optimized utilization of space, and the occupied space of the whole system can be extremely small, so that the system can be directly added in the channel of the existing magnetic resonance imaging equipment.
As a preferred embodiment of the head mr rf coil 20, as shown in fig. 1-4, the head mr rf coil 20 is a band-shaped body when deployed and is worn on the head of the subject 40 in a cylindrical configuration wrapped around the head of the subject by being rolled along the long sides of the band-shaped body.

The cylindrical structure has an advantage in that the end thereof is opened to expose the entire head top of the subject 40, so that the first stimulation device 31 can cover both the head top of the subject 40 and the side surface and even the bottom surface of the head of the subject 40 from the gap between the head of the subject 40 and the cylindrical structure, which can be changed by adjusting the wearing tightness of the cylindrical structure.
In addition, as shown in fig. 3-4, the inner side of the head mr coil 20 is further provided with a convex-shaped face-conformable liner 26. The inner liner 26 can help the head mr coil 20 to be worn and positioned, so that a gap is reserved between the head mr coil 20 and the head of the subject 40 after being worn, and the wearing comfort of the head mr coil 20 is improved.
