Abstract: A comprehensive and integrated solution, including a dedicated system structure and grounding mechanism, a main radio frequency (RF) coil to transmit and receive signal, secondary RF coils to saturate unwanted signals from non-region-of-interest (ROI) in the excited region, an RF shielding structure configured to shield the main RF coil from generating signals on the non-ROI, and an environmental noise active cancellation mechanism is proposed to construct an NMR system for non-invasive quantitative detection of organs, and further improves the target region selectivity and detection accuracy.

Abstract: A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) system-based substance measurement method, including: acquiring several echo signals of an NMR pulse sequence varying in echo spacing from a substance to be measured followed by processing to obtain several signals varying in transverse relaxation and diffusion attenuation; and fitting, in combination with the prior knowledge, the signals to obtain the diffusion coefficient, transverse relaxation time or/and content weight of individual components of the substance to be measured. This application further provides a substance measurement system including a console, a magnet module, and an NMR system.

Abstract: A method for non-invasive quantification of organ fat using a magnetic resonance approach includes: constructing a detection system; connecting a detection area; detection system startup; acquiring data; analyzing data; and performing horizontal data analysis. An external computer, a radio frequency (RF) subsystem, and a portable magnet module are used to construct a system for non-invasive quantification of organ fat based on low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR), which causes no damage, and achieves accurate and non-invasive quantification of organ fat. Specific pulse sequences are used to excite nuclear spin in a target region to generate LF-NMR, so as to achieve “one-click” detection, which is used for fast screening of related diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The system has accurate quantification, and is easy to operate without constraints of operator qualifications.

Abstract: A method for measuring a gradient field of a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) system based on a diffusion effect uses a non-uniform field magnet, an NMR spectrometer, a radio frequency (RF) power amplifier, an RF coil, and a standard quantitative phantom with known apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and time constant for decay of transverse magnetization after RF-pulse (T2). A plurality of sets of signals are acquired by an NMR sequence with different diffusion-sensitive gradient durations or different echo spacings and the magnitude of the gradient field is calculated by fitting based on the plurality of sets of signals. The method does not require an additional dedicated magnetic field detection device, has a short measurement time, is easy to use with the NMR system, and is convenient to complete gradient field measurement at the installation site, thereby improving the installation and service efficiency of the NMR system.
