  • Patent number: 11883211
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to techniques for triggering magnetic resonance data acquisition. The techniques include detecting a respiration direction of a respiration signal of an acquisition subject, predicting in real time an amplitude peak value of an expiration signal in the current respiration period according to the real-time respiration signal of the acquisition subject, multiplying the amplitude peak value by a preset coefficient, and using the product as a trigger point threshold of the current respiration period. When it is determined that an expiration stage of the current respiration period is starting, the techniques also include calculating in real time or periodically the absolute value of the difference between the amplitude of the current expiration signal and the trigger point threshold currently calculated, and if the absolute value of the difference is less than a preset difference threshold, then triggering MR data acquisition.

  • Publication number: 20210052187
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for determining a respiration phase by extracting a distance characteristic value, a score characteristic value, and an area characteristic value from the respiration signal, wherein the distance characteristic value, the score characteristic value and the area characteristic value are used to indicate waveform variation between two adjacent waveforms in the respiration signal. The techniques include training a respiration signal model according to the distance characteristic value, the score characteristic value, and the area characteristic value to determine the respiration phase of the respiration signal using the respiration signal model.

  • Patent number: 10914801
    Abstract: In a method, device and digital receiver for transmitting signals in magnetic resonance imaging, M channels of digital signals are received over M receiving channels from a digital matrix processor. One receiving channel corresponds to one channel of digital signal and the M channels of digital signals include one channel of main signal and (M?1) channels of high-order signals. The M channels of digital signals are combined into N channels of combined signals, wherein the main signal and at least one channel of high-order signal are combined into one channel of combined signal, or at least two channels of high-order signals are combined into one channel of combined signal. N and M are both positive integers, N is less than M, and M is greater than or equal to 2.

  • Publication number: 20100232649
    Abstract: The present utility model provides a locating device for a magnetic resonance system comprising an image sensor, an image display for displaying images acquired by the abovementioned image sensor, and a locator, which locator has at least one locating mark. There is no need for the abovementioned locating device for a magnetic resonance system to use a laser for locating and, therefore, the case where an operator is hurt by the laser will not occur. On the other hand, due to the use of the image sensor and the image display, the remote control of adjustment conditions can be accomplished, therefore there is no need to repeatedly enter into a magnetic resonance examination room to carry out operations during the adjustment process, which saves time and costs for the adjustments.
