Puncture needle support tool, RF coil, magnetic resonance signal measuring apparatus, and magnetic resonance imaging apparatus and method

摘要

In order to facilitate appropriate biopsy puncture in magnetic resonance imaging, a puncture needle support tool has a base member 610 attached to an RF coil 200, a slider 630 attached to the base member movably in parallel to the axis of the RF coil, and a puncture needle guide 636 having a puncture needle through hole 638 and an MR marker 640 disposed in parallel to the through hole, capable of linearly moving in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction on the slider and of rotatively moving in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the RF coil.
