Design,construction and characterization of the compact ultrafast terahertz free-electron laser undulator

A compact ultrafast terahertz (CUTE) free-electron laser (FEL) is being developed at the Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology (RRCAT), Indore. The undulator required for the CUTE-FEL has recently been developed. We have designed, built and characterized a variable gap, 5 cm period, 2.5 m long pure permanent magnet undulator in two identical segments. The tolerable error in the magnetic field was 1% in rms, and we have measured it to be 0.7%. The obtained rms phase shake is around 2°. To ensure that the trajectories do not have an exit error in position or angle, corrector coils have been designed. Shimming coils have been applied for both the undulator segments to reduce the amplitude of the betatron oscillations in the vertical trajectory. Details of novel corrector coils and soft iron shims are given and their performance is discussed.      

Dynamic shim updating on the human brain

Dynamic alteration of shim settings during a multi-slice imaging experiment can improve static magnetic-field homogeneity over extended volumes. In this report, a pre-emphasized dynamic shim updating (DSU) system capable of rapidly updating all non-degenerate zeroth through second-order shims is presented and applied to high-field multi-slice imaging studies on the human brain. DSU is utilized in both non-oblique and oblique slicing geometries while updating in-plane and through-slice shims. Image-based magnetic-field maps are used to quantify homogeneity improvements and comparisons are made on a slice-specific basis between static global shimming and increasing orders of shim inclusion utilized DSU. The influence of oblique slicing geometry on DSU-utilized global homogeneity is also quantified computationally. Finally, the effect of DSU on susceptibility artifact reduction in single-shot axial-sliced EPI is analyzed using experimental acquisitions.     

Design of SC solenoid with high homogeneity

A novel kind of SC (superconducting) solenoid coil is designed to satisfy the homogeneity requirement of the magnetic field. In this paper, we first calculate the current density distribution of the solenoid coil section through the linear programming method. Then a traditional solenoid and a nonrectangular section solenoid are designed to produce a central field up to 7 T with a homogeneity to the greatest extent. After comparision of the two solenoid coils designed in magnet field quality, fabrication cost and other aspects, the new design of the nonrectangular section of a solenoid coil can be realized through improving the techniques of framework fabrication and winding. Finally, the outlook and error analysis of this kind of SC magnet coil are also discussed briefly.

Projection-Reconstruction Spectroscopic Imaging forB0Field Plotting and Shimming without Pulsed Gradients

Shimming is important. Noniterative methods are desirable. Such methods exist for shimming a spectrometer with pulsed field gradients, generally based on field maps made by spin-warp Fourier imaging. For spectrometers with no pulsed gradients (or for cases whereT₂is too short to permit echo imaging), an alternative method is presented: projection-reconstruction spectroscopic imaging, which can be accomplished using only the shim coils of a conventional spectrometer. Images so acquired can be used to map the field, even in the presence of multiple spectral components. Noniterative optimization of the axial shims of a GN-300 spectrometer is demonstrated using 1D + 1D spectroscopic images. Prospects for extending the technique to include the radial shims using 3D + 1D spectroscopic images are discussed.     

基于AFI的快速发射场B1+成像方法

该文提出了一种基于实际翻转角成像(Actual Flip-angle Imaging,AFI)的快速发射场测量方法(Fast AFI,FAFI),将多次激发平面回波成像(Multi-shot Echo Planar Imaging,Multi-shot EPI)的采集方式运用于AFI发射场(B_1~+)测量中,充分利用AFI序列中采集的等待时间,高倍数加速了水模和人体头部、腹部及盆腔的发射场测量.该文在水模和人体(n=16)实验中,验证了采用FAFI序列得到的B_1~+测量结果与AFI结果的一致性.FAFI序列大幅加速了发射场测量,为实现动态B_1~+匀场(B_1~+shimming)和快速局部激发提供了高效的发射场测量方法.     

Local in vivo shimming using adaptive passive shim positioning

A subject-specific local in vivo passive shimming method, focusing on the prefrontal and temporal regions, is proposed. The aim of the investigation is to show that subject variability exists in optimal passive shimming and that the proposed method can be effectively used to overcome these differences. A shimming structure capable of adjusting the position of the passive shims to within a millimeter resolution is built. The optimal shim positions for each individual subject are computed from obtained field map using a convex optimization algorithm. Passive shim experiments at predetermined fixed shim positions vs. individually adjusted shim positions were performed and compared. The results show that intersubject variability exists in the optimal shim positions and that the location-sensitive method proposed can be useful for improving main field homogeneity in vivo.
