  • Publication number: 20180097274
    Abstract: A radio-frequency (RF) coil for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has a flexible antenna circuit, support that supports the flexible antenna circuit, and a one-piece flexible casing, enclosing the flexible antenna circuit and the support. A method for manufacturing such an RF coil avoids the operation of piecing-together individual components, so the RF coil has more precise dimensions, conforms better to the human body under examination, reduces signal losses, increases the SNR, reduces the number of connecting components, and lowers the material costs of the RF coil.

  • Patent number: 8683889
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an oblique-driven platform structure, comprising: a base, a first rail, a screw, a first sliding block, a second sliding block, an oblique slide rod, at least one second rail, at least one third sliding block, a work platform, and a motor. There is a trigonometric relation between the oblique slide rod, the screw and the second rail, and an oblique drive angle is formed between the oblique slide rod and the screw; Therefore, with the change of the stroke position of the screw, the displacement resolution of the work platform can still kept the same value when the work platform is driven. Moreover, the displacement of the screw stroke can be proportionally transformed to the feed rate of the work platform through the trigonometric relation, such that the driven work platform can get an extremely high displacement resolution without using any high-level servo motor.

  • Patent number: 8285072
    Abstract: In a method and apparatus for improving the brightness uniformity in an image, signals are acquired using a radio frequency receiving coil, and noise in the acquired signals is normalized so as to produce an image, then the brightness of various pixels in the image is determined according to the sensitivity of the radio frequency receiving coil. The brightness of the image is then made uniform by compensating the brightness of the various pixels in the image.

  • Patent number: 8155727
    Abstract: A wrist coil for magnetic resonance imaging has a tubular coil formed by a number of coil splicing units spliced together in succession, and an annular coil unit that is wound around the surface of the tubular coil. Since the annular coil unit is wound around the surface of the tubular coil, and the current direction in the annular coil unit is perpendicular to the current direction in each of the coil splicing units, when some of the coil splicing units in the tubular coil do not acquire signals due to the fact that their magnetic field direction is parallel to that of the main magnetic field direction, the annular coil unit will carry out signal acquisition. Furthermore, since the magnetic flux of the annular coil unit is relatively large, this ensures a relatively high signal-to-noise ratio in the acquired signals no matter whatever layout position is adopted for the wrist coil, thus reducing equipment costs and eliminating restrictions for clinical applications in the prior art.

  • Patent number: 8035389
    Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) switch device has at least two RF switch units, each RF switch unit having an output terminal and at least two input terminals. The RF switch units select one channel of RF signals from several channels of the RF signals that are supplied as inputs to their input terminals for emission as an output from their output terminals. A magnetic resonance imaging system and an RF signal transmission method employ such an RF switch device. The use of such an RF switch device reduces the number of channels of the RF signals that need to be further transmitted, which in turn reduces the number of the corresponding long RF cable channels and the number of channels of the subsequent devices, thereby preventing waste and reducing the cost of the system. Moreover, if the subsequent devices include a receiver coil channel selector, then the complexity of the receiver coil channel selector will also be reduced as the number of RF signal channels is decreased.

  • Patent number: 7876098
    Abstract: A volume coil for a magnetic resonance imaging system is composed of a number of coil units. In the coil, there are overlapped parts between two adjacent ones of the coil units for eliminating coupling between these two adjacent coil units. Two next-adjacent ones of the coil units, which are separated from each other by one coil unit, are each provided with an inductor, and these two inductors are coupled with each other for eliminating coupling between these two next-adjacent coil units. All coil units are collected on one axial end face of the coil. Two coil units in the coil that are neither adjacent coil units nor next-adjacent coil units are connected with each other on the end face by a capacitance circuit or a inductance circuit for eliminating the coupling between these two coil units that are neither adjacent coil units nor next-adjacent coil units.

  • Patent number: 7609063
    Abstract: A mobile positioning device for an MRI inductively coupled coil, has at least one pair of coupled coils which are coupled with each other for transmitting signals, wherein one of the at least one pair of coupled coils is deployed on a surface of a patient's bed. A moveable platform is provided that can move in a direction parallel to the patient's bed, and the other one of the at least one pair of coupled coils is deployed on the moveable platform opposite to the coupled coil deployed on the patient's bed. The device can be driven by a motor or a spring. When the patient's bed needs to be placed at different positions for an examination, the coupled coil deployed on the moveable platform can be aligned completely and in parallel to the coupled coil fixed on the patient's bed by moving the moveable platform, so as to achieve the best coupling effects.

  • Publication number: 20090222987
    Abstract: An examination bed for use in a magnetic resonance imaging system, has a bed board, a bottom antenna for an RF coil and a main body antenna for an RF coil. The bottom antenna is integrated in the inside or surface of the bed board, and forms a loop with the main body antenna, to form an RF coil. The thickness of the base plate is thereby reduced by integrating the bottom antenna into the bed board, thus increasing the available space to make the most of the limited space of the magnetic field for examination so that the examination bed can be used for those patients or other tested objects that would otherwise be oversized for the bed.
