It has been several decades since the Magnetic Resonance Imaging was introduced to the public as a measure of clinical imaging diagnosis in the 1980's. Time has witnessed increasingly advanced structure and imaging technique. Now, fiber is used as the media to transmit signals of MRI. Manufacturers are competing to release new and creative imaging technique to customers, which has made it faster, more accurate and more convenient for MR imaging. This article briefly introduces latest MR devices with fiber transmission and summarizes their hardwares and softwares so as to provide reference to hospitals that will purchase these devices.

Based on the current GB standard and IEC standard, some unique security risk points of the superconductive magnet were discussed and pointed, some security eigenvalue of widely used MRI were calculated, method and technology of the quench risk & protection were focused. Currently during the type test of superconductive MRI, the national standards and industry standards have not included items focus on superconductive magnet particularly, so this paper gives some recommended discussing and hopes to improve and enhance the future standard. Because superconductive MRI uses a large number of helium gas which is very short in China and if quenching, helium will evaporate quickly, so the helium recycling are also discussed.

To optimize the configuration of the conventional SE and FSE sequence parameters in low field MRI. With the combination of larger vision, relatively thinner slice thickness, small number of excitation (NEX = 1 or 2), the signal-to-noise ration and the spatial resolution on follow-up images are moderate, the scan time is significantly shorter along with fewer motion artifacts, the check success rate is improved.
