  • Patent number: 11378636
    Abstract: A shimming system for magnetic resonance imaging is provided, which includes: a multi-channel local shim coil unit configured to be installed on an inspection table of a magnetic resonance imaging system, where the multi-channel local shim coil unit includes a local multi-channel shim coil and a radio frequency receiving coil for receiving magnetic resonance signals, and the radio frequency receiving coil is placed inside the local multi-channel shim coil and separated by a distance from the local multi-channel shim coil; a computer control system configured to install and set software controlled by a DC power and calculate field maps and calculate optimization processes; a DC power system communicatively connected to the computer control system to control a value of current of each channel; and a housing having a semi-cylindrical configuration, where the local multi-channel shim coil is only distributed on a semi-cylindrical surface of the semi-cylindrical configuration of the housing.

  • Patent number: 10969449
    Abstract: A local shimming system for magnetic resonance imaging and the method thereof, wherein the shimming method comprises the following steps: collecting B0 field map information using two-dimensional gradient echo (301); calculating and evaluating the homogeneity of B0 (302); optimizing the current of each channel shim coil (303); determining whether the minimum standard deviation value of ?f is obtained (304); outputting an optimal current combination values and setting an optimum current value corresponding to each channel of the shim coil on the current control software (305); and testing and evaluating the homogeneity of B0 to achieve the shimming goal (306).
