  • a so-called capsule endoscopy Magneticically Guided Capsule Endoscopy - MGCE
  • An endocapsule usually has a camera for imaging. However, this is only an examination of the internal surfaces of the patient, e.g. the inner intestinal wall in the gastrointestinal tract possible.
  • radiology can only be used to reproduce reproducible pathologies in rare cases, eg directly under the skin or through a body orifice.
  • such X-ray devices always represent external devices which can not be fully integrated, since they operate on the X-ray basis in contrast to capsule endoscopy based on magnetic field.
  • the object of the present invention is to specify an improved magnet coil system and an improved method for magnetic capsule navigation.
  • the invention is based on the recognition that an MR imaging is also suitable for imaging the patient's interior and that this, like the MGCE, works on a magnetic field basis.
  • the idea of the invention is therefore that it would be advantageous to extend the system to MGCE so that it can be used for both capsule navigation and MR imaging, i. to combine an MR scanner and MGCE in a single system.
  • the invention is solved with respect to the magnetic coil system by such with a three-dimensional working raum, in which a patient is at least partially recoverable, with a plurality of individually controllable individual coils for generating at least one basic magnetic field for specifiable non-contact force on a magnetically navigable, a magnetic torque endoscopy capsule in the working space, such as from DE 103 40 925 known ,
  • a magnetic moment is to be understood as meaning, for example, a permanent magnet, a magnet coil or any other element which generates a magnetic field fixed at the endocapsule.
  • the magnet coil system contains a stabilization system for stabilizing and homogenizing the basic magnetic field for MR imaging of the patient in the work area, an RF coil system for generating an excitation field and for receiving a resonance field for MR imaging, and a system controller for the MR imaging MR imaging.
  • the known magnet system for capsule endoscopy consists of a series of coils which generate the magnetic fields and magnetic field gradients required to apply the force to the endocapsule.
  • those fields and gradients which are required for the MR imaging are also generated.
  • the MR magnet is hereby e.g. built from the Helmholtz coils of the navigation magnet.
  • the fields and gradients achievable with these coils are sufficient for low-end MR imaging.
  • the further components still necessary for MR imaging - RF coil system and system control are complimented according to the invention.
  • the plant control hereby includes e.g. a processing, reconstruction and visualization of a obtained MR-3D image data set with a.
  • Capsule endoscopy requires a magnet with large magnetic fluxes and very high flux density gradients.
  • an extremely homogenous magnetic flux of very high temporal constancy or with very well known temporal changes is needed. Therefore, inventive according to the stabilization system, which makes the magnetic coil system suitable for MR imaging.
  • a system with improved power amplifiers for the coils of the magnetic coil system in comparison with pure capsule navigation is conceivable.
  • the modified magnetic coil system thus allows a combination of capsule endoscopy and MR imaging.
  • the RF coil system can be designed such that it uses the coils of the magnet coil system that are present for the MGCE or that they are suitably modified.
  • the RF coil system can also contain a separate, ie additional excitation coil for generating the MR excitation field in the working space.
  • the excitation field does not have to be generated by the coils of the magnet coil system used for the application of force, which allows an optimal design of both coil types.
  • the excitation coil may be a whole body coil. Such coils are already available, optimized for MR imaging and can be easily integrated into the coil system.
  • the RF coil system may include an MR receiver coil for the resonance field. This results in the same advantages as stated above for the additional excitation coil.
  • the MR receiver coil can be a surface coil that can be applied to the patient. This results in the same advantages as outlined above for the whole body coil.
  • the stabilization system may contain additional coils, eg Helmholtz variants for generating the basic magnetic field.
  • these coils are not present in a known system for pure MGCE and are specially supplemented for MR imaging.
  • the stabilization system may include iron hovering for the magnet coil system. The magnetic coils used for the MGCE are then qualitatively improved by the iron soiling, so that they can also produce fields of better quality, which are sufficiently homogeneous for MR imaging.
  • At least some of the coils involved in MR imaging ie the MR magnets, can also be HTS coils.
  • High-temperature superconductors (HTS) are available for this purpose in a known manner.
  • the capsule If the capsule is in the patient at the time of passing through the static field gradient, the direction of force and amplitude are virtually uncontrollable. If the patient is in the center of the magnet and the capsule is then to be supplied, the capsule must be transported through the static gradient, which is technically complicated. On the other hand, if the capsule is in the range of homogeneity, i. On the other hand, in the following it must always be ensured that the body region in which the capsule is located is in the homogeneity region of the magnet so that it does not reach the gradient region again.
  • MR magnets ie MR coil systems
  • a homogeneity volume typically 20 cm to 50 cm diameter or edge length, which is generally smaller than the gastrointestinal tract of the patient.
  • the B 0 basic field is active, and the navigational gradient fields are turned off an ideal capsule magnet no force but only a torque, as long as its moment is not parallel to the Bo magnetic field. So you can use the MR gradient coils to apply forces in any direction, but the capsule direction always stays parallel to the B 0 -FeId.
  • the strong B 0 -FeId necessary for MR imaging of the coil system for the MGCE can be switched off. If only the MGCE basic field or no longer exists, the introduction of the capsule magnet into the working space is facilitated. Namely, no or only a small BO gradient at the edge of the homogeneity range must be traversed by the magnetic moment.
  • the solenoid system may then include a flux pump for ramping at least a portion of the MR imaging coils.
  • the field which is stronger than the MGCE and which is necessary for MR imaging is then built up after insertion or removal of the capsule into the working space, ie rambled, and degraded again before the capsule is removed or inserted.
  • the flux pump can remain active during MR imaging, whereby the resonance frequency is tracked analogously.
  • the magnetic moment of the capsule may alternatively or additionally be removable, at least during the MR.
  • the magnet coil system may therefore comprise a working capsule with a, e.g. for MR imaging, deactivatable magnetic moment included.
  • the magnet coil system can contain an endocapsule, as is known, for example, from DE 10 2005 032 368 A1. This is also called Endoratte and is equipped with an out-patient extension or tail.

  • the appendage is a hollow or non-hollow cord that pulls the endocapsule behind it as it moves. Along or in this string, the magnetic moment of the capsule can be quickly and safely transported between the capsule and a patient's body opening through which the cord protrudes.
  • the endocapsule can have a tissue anchor known from DE 103 36 734 A1.

If the above-mentioned bookmarks are transmitted for this purpose, it is possible to navigate during the MGCE by means of a combination of virtual endoscopy and real endoscopy. Conversely, during endoscopy or MGCE, target points, areas or volumes can be defined as 3D bookmarks, which can then be detected selectively by means of MR imaging, for example, after removing the capsule or the magnetic moment from the body of the patient or working space.
