Technical Field

The invention belongs to the field of magnetic resonance engineering, and particularly relates to a high-field whole-body magnetic resonance imaging active shielding superconducting magnet and a design method thereof.

Background

Higher magnetic field strengths are a trend in magnetic resonance imaging systems. The signal-to-noise ratio of the magnetic resonance imaging system is increased along with the increase of the magnetic field intensity, and after a strong gradient system is matched, a finer tissue structure can be seen, and the disease detection capability is obviously improved. High-field magnetic resonance imaging can be used for imaging brain functions besides structural imaging, and is an essential tool for brain science, cognitive science and neuroscience research. The high-field magnetic resonance multi-element analysis function can track the substance transformation containing corresponding elements, show the metabolic process of a human body and further carry out clinical diagnosis on some complex diseases.

In the aspect of high-field whole-body magnetic resonance imaging, currently, a 7T whole-body magnetic resonance imaging system has already entered clinical application, a 9.4T whole-body magnetic resonance imaging system has demonstrated superior performance in scientific research, a 10.5T whole-body magnetic resonance imaging system has been applied to brain scientific research, and an 11.75T whole-body magnetic resonance imaging system has reached a specified magnetic field strength. The common feature of these magnetic resonance imaging systems is that the magnet coils are made of NbTi superconducting wire, while 11.75T is already close to the limit of NbTi wire, and the superconducting magnet system with higher field strength needs to adopt new design schemes and construction techniques. Nb in comparison with NbTi superconducting wire₃The Sn superconducting wire has higher critical performance and can construct a stronger superconducting magnet system. Thus, NbTi and Nb₃Sn composite superconducting magnet systems are an effective way to achieve higher field strengths. In addition, the high-field whole-body magnetic resonance imaging superconducting magnet has large aperture and high magnetic field intensity, and the stray magnetic field is restrained by adopting a passive shielding method more at present, for example, almost all 9.4T whole-body magnetic resonance imaging systems adopt passive magnetic field shielding, 10.5T whole-body magnetic resonance imaging systems also adopt passive magnetic field shielding, and 7T whole-body magnetic resonance imaging partial systems also adopt passive magnetic field shielding. Although the application of active shielding technology to high-field whole-body mri systems presents many challenges, such as stress control, structural support, and cryogenic system fabrication, active shielding can save a lot of iron shielding compared to passive shielding, reduce the capital construction burden and cost of the shielded room, and the magnetic field stability of the active shielding system is higher and the field restriction on magnet installation is smaller. Is also due toTo do so, 11.75T whole-body magnetic resonance imaging superconducting magnet systems employ an active shielding design. A whole-body magnetic resonance imaging active shielding superconducting magnet system with higher field intensity needs to comprehensively consider performance optimization of a composite superconducting wire, regulation and control of the magnetic field intensity of a coil and control of stress strain of the coil, and constrains a stray magnetic field 5 Gauss line to a specified range under the condition of meeting the requirements of the magnetic field intensity and uniformity of a central area. In contrast, a small-aperture magnetic resonance system can realize higher magnetic field intensity more easily, the stress of a magnet coil is easier to control, the scale of a low-temperature system is smaller, but the system can only be used for animal magnetic resonance imaging or nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum detection, and a whole-body magnetic resonance imaging system can be directly used for human body research and has important practical significance.
