Small animal positioning instrument

Abstract

A small animal position fixer, comprising a base (2), two fixed ear buds (3) respectively pressing against earholes on both sides of the animal, a first positioning device (4) disposed on the base for positioning the head of an animal, a second positioning device (5) cooperating with the first positioning device (4) to position the head orientation of the animal, and a horizontal direction adjustment device (6) and a vertical direction adjustment device (7) for adjusting horizontal and vertical space between the fixed ear buds (3) and the second positioning device (5). The animal position fixer is designed based on a narrow space shape and can be placed in an animal imaging pen, and with the door of the pen closed, can fully fix the position of the head of a small animal and adjust the fixed position based on the shape of the animal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a locator, in particular to a small animal locator. Background technique [0002] When performing medical imaging of small animals, it is usually necessary to put the small animals into a container, that is, an imaging cabin. Because the unanticipated displacement of the scanned object during the scanning process will reduce the imaging performance, so in the process of scanning small animals, in order to prevent artificial shaking or anesthesia failure from causing small animal limbs to shift, it is necessary to monitor the small animals. Fix the head, limbs, body, etc. The commonly used method when scanning at present is to buckle the teeth of the small animal on a boss, and then the limbs are fixed together with the container with strings. This simple fixation method cannot accurately locate the key organs of the small animal such as the brain, and it cannot completely avoid the displacement of the animal's limbs caused by...
