Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical appliances, in particular to a carotid artery volume imaging isolation pad auxiliary bracket. Background Art

[0002] As a disposable or reusable item that can be cleaned and disinfected, the isolation pad can reduce direct contact between the patient and the examination equipment during carotid artery volume imaging, thereby reducing the risk of cross infection.

[0003] Accurate imaging of the carotid artery requires ensuring the optimal relative position between the blood vessels and the ultrasound probe. An inappropriate neck angle may cause artifacts in the ultrasound image, which may interfere with the doctor's accurate judgment of the carotid artery structure. The traditional method is for nurses to instruct patients to maintain a specified angle and posture to complete accurate imaging of the carotid artery. However, when the patient always maintains the specified angle during this process, muscle fatigue will occur, making it impossible for the patient to maintain it stably, thereby reducing the image quality of carotid artery volume imaging.
