Abstract
The present utility model provides a gradient coil detection device and an MRI system. The gradient coil checking device for an MRI system comprises: a voltage sampling circuit, comprising: a sample voltage input end, connected between a gradient power amplifier of the MRI system and the gradient coil and obtaining a gradient coil sample voltage, and a sample voltage output end; a current sampling circuit, a sample current input end, connected to the gradient power amplifier of the MRI system and obtaining a gradient coil sample current, and a sample current output end; a calculation unit, connected to the sample voltage output end and the sample current output end, and used for calculating a gradient coil calculated resistance according to the gradient coil sample voltage and the gradient coil sample current; a comparison unit, connected to the calculation unit, and used for comparing the gradient coil calculated resistance with a reference value to obtain a result signal. The gradient coil checking device for an MRI system according to a particular embodiment of the present utility model can check the operating state of the gradient coil in real time while the MRI system is scanning.
