Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an improved U-shaped medium neck pillow for thyroid CT scanning. Background Art

[0002] Currently, thyroid CT examinations have radial artifacts due to interference from the mandible and skull. Preliminary tests have shown that placing a water bag next to the thyroid can reduce artifacts, but the water bag is prone to falling off the patient's neck and is not easy to fix.

[0003] Secondly, the daily water bag is not firmly fixed to the patient's neck and cannot be adaptively adjusted, making it uncomfortable to use.

[0004] To this end, we designed a modified thyroid CT scanning U-shaped medium neck pillow that can effectively position the patient's neck, reduce hardening artifacts during scanning, and be more comfortable to use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an improved thyroid CT scanning U-shaped medium neck pillow which can effectively position the patient's neck, reduce hardening artifacts during scanning, and is more comfortable to use.

[0006] The utility model is realized by the following technical solutions:

[0007] An improved U-shaped medium neck pillow for thyroid CT scanning comprises a base pad, a U-shaped pillow is fixed on the top of the base pad, the opening of the U-shaped pillow faces upward, and a tightening device is installed at the opening of the U-shaped pillow.

[0008] Preferably, a sloped surface is provided on the top of the base pad, and the inclination angle of the sloped surface is 3-10°.

[0009] Preferably, the U-shaped pillow comprises a waterproof inner layer and a protective outer layer, the waterproof inner layer is made of rubber, and the waterproof inner layer is connected to a water spout for filling and discharging water, and the water spout has a plunger.

[0010] Preferably, thermal insulation cotton is filled between the waterproof inner layer and the protective outer layer.

[0011] Preferably, a sterile cloth is detachably laid on the inner side of the U-shaped pillow.

[0012] Preferably, the tightening device includes a plurality of buttons and an elastic band fitted between two buttons, and the plurality of buttons are arranged on both sides of the opening of the U-shaped pillow. After the elastic band cooperates with the buttons on both sides, the opening of the U-shaped pillow is tightened.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0014] Advantage 1: The U-shaped pillow in this device has an opening, which can be used for patients with different neck sizes, and the amount of water inside is adjustable, which further increases the fit with the patient's neck. Combined with the bottom pad below, the U-shaped pillow can be kept upright to avoid movement, further increasing the positioning effect on the patient.

[0015] The second advantage is that the U-shaped pillow can increase softness, provide better support for the patient's neck, improve comfort, and at the same time lift the patient's jaw to fully expose the thyroid gland and reduce hardening artifacts during scanning.

[0021] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "one end", "the other end", "outside", "upper", "inside", "horizontal", "coaxial", "center", "end", "length", "outer end" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0022] In addition, in the description of the present invention, “plurality” means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0023] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "socket", "connect", "penetrate", "plug in" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral one; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0024] like Figure 1 An improved U-shaped medium neck pillow for thyroid CT scanning is shown, comprising a base pad 1, a U-shaped pillow 2 is fixed on the top of the base pad 1, the opening of the U-shaped pillow 2 faces upward, and a tightening device is installed at the opening of the U-shaped pillow 2.

[0025] See also Figure 1 As shown, a slope surface 101 is provided on the top of the base pad 1, and the inclination angle of the slope surface 101 is 3-10°.

[0026] The design of slope surface 101 can better fit the patient's back and head, improving the comfort during use.

[0027] In this embodiment, the slope of the slope surface 101 is 5°.
