HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE COMPLEX FOR MONITORING AND CONTROLLING TECHNICALLY IMPORTANT PARAMETERS OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING EQUIPMENT Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC G01R33/00 G01R31/00 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used for monitoring and controlling technically important parameters of magnetic resonance imaging equipment. Essence of the invention lies in the fact that a hardware-software complex (HSC) for monitoring and controlling technically important parameters of magnetic resonance imaging equipment comprises unit of actuator for monitoring parameters of cryogenic compressor MRI, three-way valve control unit for switching the cryogenic compressor to the municipal water supply circuit, and is also configured to transmit data via a wireless network, wherein the hardware-software control and monitoring system includes: an actuating device unit, which is connected to the equipment units and the MRI cooling system by means of a set of recording sensors, analogue and digital, temperature, flow rate, pressure, coolant leakage and electric current; a unit for controlling and monitoring parameters of the cryogenic compressor of the MRI equipment, connected to the cryogenic compressor MRI by means of connectors mounted in the housing and using the diagnostic port DB25; cryogenic compressor cooling system monitoring unit, radio-frequency amplifiers and gradient amplifiers with a set of sensors, which are connected to the cooling system by means of threaded connections and surface mounting for monitoring of temperature, pressure, flow rate and leakage of cooling liquid; cryogenic compressor cooling system control unit mounted into the cooling system by means of threaded connections, receiving a control signal from an actuating device for switching to a secondary cooling circuit using valves, three-way valves, as well as an electromagnetic valve; uninterrupted power supply.

EFFECT: provision of the possibility to quickly localize the cause of malfunction and to prevent breakdown of the MRI equipment in a timely manner.
