METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CHECKING BODY COIL OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING SYSTEM

摘要

In a method and device for checking a body coil of an MRI system a current value of one or more parameters of the MRI system is acquired under a specific condition. The current value is compared with a reference value of the parameter to obtain a comparison result. A state of the body coil is determined according to the comparison result. The method for checking a body coil of an MRI system according to a particular embodiment of the present invention can replace onsite periodic maintenance inspection by a maintenance engineer, and also detect damage to the body coil at an early stage.

主权项

1. A method for checking a body coil of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, comprising:
acquiring a current value of at least one parameter of said MRI system under a specific condition, and providing said current value to a computer; in said computer, comparing said current value with a reference value of said at least one parameter, to obtain a comparison result; and in said computer, determining a state of the body coil dependent on said comparison result, and emitting an electronic signal from said computer that represents the determined state of the body coil.
