Title: System and method to reduce eddy current artifacts in magnetic resonance imaging
Inventor: Jeff Alan Stainsby
IPC: G01R33/565
Filed: 2018-05-16
Abstract: Image artefacts produced by eddy currents due to the rapid ramp-up of a gradient field in an MRI system are compensated by pre-emphasising a gradient waveform to minimize these eddy currents. The temporal strength of the gradient during ramp-up may be measured and fitted against temporal model functions characterized by first and second sets of time constants. The temporal model functions may represent a first rising portion followed by a second decaying portion during ramp-up. The gradient may be measured using RF signals from a field camera having probes, with cumulative phases of the RF signals being measured. A time derivative of the cumulative phase may be used. The time derivative of the gradient waveform may be convolved with the temporal model functions, and the results of this convolution may be subtracted from the gradient waveform to produce the pre-emphasised gradient. The gradient may be used in gradient echo, spin echo, echo-planar imaging (EPI) or spiral acquisitions.

Abstract: A comprehensive evaluation method for pump flow induced vibration performance: first, utilizing an experimental test or value to produce by calculation pressure pulsation data at a pump impeller outlet and to calculate a dimensionless pressure pulsation coefficient time-domain transformation function; then, performing a fast Fourier transformation with respect to the time-domain transformation function to acquire a frequency-domain transformation function, then performing a full frequency domain search, arranging in a descending order according to amplitude and selecting the first three frequency points to serve as calculation frequency points; then, employing a analytic hierarchy process to determine weight factors of the amplitudes of the calculation frequency points in a pump flow inducted vibration overall evaluation, and finally, by means of a calculation with respect to the amplitudes of the calculation frequency points and the corresponding weight factors, acquiring a third-order comprehensive vibration pressure of a pump to evaluate the overall vibration level of the pump. The method takes into comprehensive consideration the amplitudes of a pump impeller outlet pressure pulsation transformation function on multiple frequency points, overcomes the lopsidedness in the past where only the vibration amplitude at a main frequency is taken into consideration in evaluating pump vibration performance, and has broad engineering application values.
