The present invention relates to a
radio frequency receiver for a
magnetic resonance imaging system. The
radio frequency receiver comprises a low temperature maintaining
system and a
superconducting filter accommodated in the low temperature maintaining
system; and the
superconducting filter is connected with a
radio frequency coil and is used for receiving radio frequency signals outputted by the
radio frequency coil and filtering the radio frequency signals. According to the radio frequency
receiver and the
magnetic resonance imaging system of the present invention, the
superconducting filter is arranged in the low temperature maintaining system; the superconducting filter is designed based on a superconducting principle, so that the out-of-band suppression of the superconducting filter can be very high, and the
sideband suppression of the superconducting filter can also be very steep, and therefore, interference signals near channels can be easily filtered out and cannot pass through the superconducting filter; and after the radio frequency receiver of the present invention is provided with the superconducting filter, the
sideband suppression of the radio frequency receiver can achieve about 80 to 90dB, the in-
passband insertion loss of the radio frequency receiver can be as low as 0.5dB, the
passband of the radio frequency receiver is narrow, and therefore, the
narrowband, high out-of-
band rejection and low
insertion loss of the radio frequency receiver can be well balanced. The invention also relates to a
magnetic resonance imaging system.
