摘要:

提出了一种用于磁共振成像的高集成度的数字梯度计算模块. 它可以实时计算任意层面成像所需的梯度波形,并能对XYZ三个通道做波形预增强处理. 该模块基于单片FPGA器件,梯度波形数据预存于FPGA内嵌的RAM中,波形更新时间最小为1 μs. 在FPGA内部通过复用一种快速IIR滤波器算法,能在1 μs时间内实现包含6组不同时间常数和幅度的预增强运算. 实验证明该系统具有通用性好、体积小和成本低等特点,为磁共振谱仪的研制提供了一种紧凑、灵活的梯度波形发生方案. 

Abstract:

A versatile digital gradient calculation module with high integration level was developed for magnetic resonance imaging. Based on a single field programmable gate array (FPGA) system, this apparatus operates real-time calculations of the gradient waveforms for oblique acquisition and preemphasis with a 16-bit parallel interface. Gradient profiles from the GX, GY and GZ channels are stored in the FPGA embedded memory blocks, and loaded via the parallel interface. High-performance digital waveform preemphasis is achieved by iteratively implementing a scattered lookahead algorithm for compensation of eddy currents. The system has the merits of high reliability, good universality, small size and low cost, providing a compact and flexible scheme for gradient waveform generation.

Key words: MRI, gradient calculation module, field programmable gate array, waveform preemphasis
