Description
The utility model relates to a kind of Magnetic resonance imaging probe, is specially adapted to laser intensified polarization gas
129The Magnetic resonance imaging of Xe.
A kind of new focus in the Magnetic resonance imaging was exactly a laser intensified polarization gas in recent years
129The Magnetic resonance imaging research of Xe, and the Magnetic resonance imaging probe of some common element of equipping on the present commodity NMR imaging instrument all can not satisfy
129The imaging requirements of Xe is as used on Bruker Biospec 47/30 NMR imaging instrument
1The nmr frequency of H imaging coil probe is 200MHz,
129The Xe nmr frequency is 55.4MHz on the NMR imaging instrument in 4.7T magnetic field, and other imaging coil probe of equipping on the imager can not satisfy on frequency
129The requirement of Xe Magnetic resonance imaging.As the imaging probe of using on the NMR imaging instrument, a high frequency LC tuned circuit is all arranged, inductance element in the circuit generally be by a kind of specific around to coil or the no magnetic sheet metal of special type make, the size of coil and winding directly influence the radio-frequency field of probe, and arranging also of tuned circuit is influential to the Q value of probe, sensitivity etc.As the spiral cast imaging coil, at interval evenly, make it have good radio-frequency field homogeneity and high Q value between the circle of this coil, structure is also simple, but the RF magnetic direction that itself produces is not suitable for
129Xe uses on Bruker Biospec 47/30 NMR imaging instrument.Alderman-Grand formula imaging probe and for example, it forms inductance element by two or four I-shaped no magnetic sheet metals of symmetry, connect many group adjustable condensers or fixed condenser between the sheet metal, though it has good imaging homogeneity, also can accomplish higher sensitivity and bigger size, but requiring has accurate adjusting symmetry, the adjustable or fixed condenser of one group of a plurality of equivalence, tuning making inconvenience.Other has a kind of birdcage imaging probe, coil coiled cage shape, and at interval evenly, field uniformity is good between the coil, but tuning capacitor is connected between the coil making inconvenience.Also have a kind of saddle type coil probe, forms by two groups of symmetry saddle type coils, every group 1 circle-2 circles, tuning capacitor or link near coil is perhaps pulled out the outer tuning influence with the minimizing distributed capacitance of probe core.This sonde configuration is simple, but the Q value is difficult to do height, is generally used for analysis of spectrum or the imaging of reduced size sample in the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer.
The purpose of this utility model provides a kind of probe of Magnetic resonance imaging easily simple in structure, tuning, has solved laser intensified polarization gas
129The Magnetic resonance imaging of Xe.
The technical solution of the utility model is: this utility model by sizing tube, LC high-frequency tuning loop, casing, be configured to.It is characterized in that the coil in LC high-frequency tuning loop is by the end of two groups of saddle type coil symmetries around sizing tube, every group around 3 to 5 circles, even at interval between circle and the circle.This alignment of tuned circuit capacitor is made of fixed condenser and two adjustable condensers, be evenly arranged in the other end of sizing tube, the center of coil, and a suitable distance is arranged between the tuning capacitor, cause the spectral line phase distortion to prevent RF magnetic field from producing inhomogeneous.Two groups of coils in this loop join end to end, and two taps are in parallel with fixed condenser respectively, and are in parallel with an adjustable condenser again, insert another adjustable condenser between the heart yearn of parallel circuit and concentric cable, are used to adjust the coupling of probe and imager.The screen layer of another termination concentric cable of parallel circuit, the shielding layer grounding of concentric cable.Above-mentioned sizing tube and LC high-frequency tuning loop have constituted the probe core, outside the probe core organic glass casing, protection coil and oscillation circuit element are arranged.Respectively there is a support at the casing two ends, support is made by round organic glass sheet, the disk central axis has circular hole, diameter and sizing tube external diameter coincide, disk external diameter and casing internal diameter match, two end supports are by the fixing sizing tube of center pit, and constitute together with casing and wholely to be connected and to fix, and make imaging coil be positioned at the magnetic field center of NMR imaging instrument superconducting magnet.Also have the circular hole of two embedding adjustable condensers on the support disk of tuning capacitor one end, both the stationary adjustable capacitor was convenient to tuner operation again.
