摘要： The subject invention relates to a method and apparatus for producing stimulated MRI data. In an embodiment, a remote-controlled “smart phantom” can produce simulated data. The simulated data can be acquired from a MRI system. The subject device can generate control signals and send the generated control signals to secondary coils/probes placed in the subject smart phantom. The control signals determine the current flow in the secondary coils/probes, which act as local spin magnetization amplifiers and thus produce regions of variable contrast to noise ratio. The control signals can be generated with various parameters, such as BOLD models, different levels of contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), signal intensities, and physiological signals. Comparisons can be made with the widely-used simulated data by computers. Validation of the subject smart phantom can be performed with both theoretical analysis and data of human subjects.

摘要： The present invention provides an apparatus for reducing acoustic noise in a magnetic resonance imaging device including passive shielding located outside the actively shielded gradient winding elements in order to reduce the magnitude of fields that spread outside the gradient coil assembly in unwanted directions and interact with the magnet cryostat or other metallic magnet parts, inducing eddy currents that cause consequent acoustic noise. The passive shielding elements are conducting layers located on the outer radius of the cylindrical gradient coil assembly in a cylindrical magnet system, conducting layers located at the ends of the gradient coil assembly in a cylindrical magnet system, and conducting layers located inside the actively shielded gradient winding inner elements in a cylindrical magnet system. The passive shielding could also be located on separate structures that are vibrationally isolated from the magnet cryostat. The actively shielded gradient winding can also be extended to portions at the ends of the actively shielded gradient winding and further to portions inside the inner radius of the inner portion of the actively shielded gradient winding. The actively shielded gradient windings and passive shielding should be designed concurrently in order to substantially optimize the gradient linearity and reduce the eddy currents generated in metallic parts of the magnetic resonance imaging system.
