摘要

目的研究低场强护理点神经成像系统中磁体孔直径与导电法拉第屏蔽罩和射频头线圈之间距离的权衡:针对三种不同的法拉第屏蔽几何形状和两种常用的射频线圈设计(螺旋线圈和电磁线圈)进行了电磁模拟,以评估紧密贴合的屏蔽对射频线圈发射和接收效率的影响。实验测量证实了模拟的准确性。同时还进行了模拟,以评估静态磁铁 ( B 0 ) 场与磁铁孔直径的函数关系。然后将可获得的信噪比作为这两个相关变量的函数进行计算:结果:射频线圈特性和 B 1 + 发射效率的模拟结果与实验确定的相应参数非常吻合。总体而言,当屏蔽罩和线圈之间的间隙增大时,射频线圈的发射效率会更高。计算的固有信噪比显示,直径为 310 毫米的圆柱形屏蔽罩和内径为 320 毫米的磁体(假设梯度线圈为 10 毫米)可获得最大信噪比:本研究综述了用于 POC MRI 神经成像的射频线圈的传输效率权衡与线圈到屏蔽罩的距离和哈尔巴赫磁体内径的函数关系。结果表明,在磁体直径为 290 毫米和 330 毫米之间存在一个相对较浅的最佳值,如果使用较小或较大的磁体,该值会下降 10%以上。

Signal-to-noise trade-offs between magnet diameter and shield-to-coil distance for cylindrical Halbach-based portable MRI systems for neuroimaging.

Objective: To investigate the trade-off between magnet bore diameter and the distance between the conductive Faraday shield and RF head coil for low-field point-of-care neuroimaging systems.

Methods: Electromagnetic simulations were performed for three different Faraday shield geometries and two commonly used RF coil designs (spiral and solenoid) to assess the effects of a close-fitting shield on the RF coil's transmit and receive efficiencies. Experimental measurements were performed to confirm the accuracy of the simulations. Parallel simulations were performed to assess the static magnet ( B 0 ) field as a function of the magnet bore diameter. The obtainable SNR was then calculated as a function of these two related variables.

Results: Simulations of the RF coil characteristics and B 1 + transmit efficiencies agreed well with corresponding experimentally determined parameters. Overall, the RF coil transmit efficiency was, as expected, higher when the gap between the shield and coil increased. The calculated intrinsic SNR showed that maximum SNR would be obtained for a cylindrical shield of diameter 310 mm with an inner diameter of the magnet of 320 mm (assuming 10 mm for the gradient coils).

Conclusion: This work presents an overview of the trade-offs in transmit efficiencies for RF coils used for POC MRI neuroimaging as a function of coil-to-shield distance and inner diameter of the Halbach magnet. Results show that there is a relatively shallow optimum between a magnet diameter of 290 and 330 mm, with values falling more than 10% if either smaller or larger magnets are used.
