Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of CT scanners, in particular to a CT scanner. Background Art
[0002] A CT scanner is a fully functional disease detection instrument. It is the abbreviation of computerized X-ray tomography technology. The working procedure of CT is usually based on the different absorption and transmittance of X-rays by different tissues of the human body. It uses highly sensitive instruments to measure the human body, and then inputs the measured data into an electronic computer. After the electronic computer processes the data, it can take cross-sectional or three-dimensional images of the examined part of the human body and detect small lesions in any part of the body.
[0003] In medical practice, computed tomography angiography is a commonly used method for non-invasive examination of human vascular diseases. With the development of CT equipment, the medical community has proposed the concept of precision CT imaging, that is, according to the individual differences of different patients, targeted contrast agent injection schemes (including concentration, dose, flow rate) and CT scanning schemes (including tube voltage, current, reconstruction algorithm, etc.) are selected when performing CT angiography. In the past, radiologists had insufficient understanding of the personalized optimization of CTA contrast dose. Even if they had some understanding, it was difficult to carry out effectively in actual work because it was complicated and inconvenient to calculate the amount of medicine required for each patient. It was not possible to quickly and automatically provide radiologists and technicians with targeted CTA contrast dose injection plans based on different patients and different examination sites.

[0031] The CT scanner of the present invention consists of three parts: the first part is the input part, which includes a scanning area selection interface and a patient weight meter; the second part is the calculation part, which calculates the comparative dose and flow rate data based on different scanning areas and patient weight data; the third part is the output part, which includes an output display interface that displays the calculated dose and flow rate and can also be connected to a high-pressure injector used in clinical practice to directly output the injection plan to the high-pressure injector.
[0032] The examination site is output, and the patient's weight is measured and the data is transmitted to the computer. The computer selects the contrast agent injection plan, and the injection plan is transmitted to the high-pressure injector and the injection plan is transmitted to the computer. At this time, the computer displays the injection plan.
[0033] Working principle:
[0034] In the present invention, when examining the patient, the patient lies flat on the hard plastic plate 18 with his feet placed on the supporting foot plates 19. At this time, the patient's head is placed inside the placement groove 22. Due to the patient's own weight, the hard plastic plate 18 is pressed downward, causing the hard plastic plate 18 to drive the positioning support plate 10 and the limiting sleeve 9 to move toward the inside of the limiting groove 7. At this time, the hard plastic plate 18 contacts the pressing column 13, and the pressing column 13 moves downward under the action of the hard plastic plate 18. At this time, the pressing plate 12 drives the extrusion column 14 and the counterweight 15 to move upward under the action of the positioning shaft 11 and the bearing. When the extrusion column 14 contacts the small-range spoke-type force sensor 17, the small-range spoke-type force sensor 17 outputs the patient's weight data. After the examination is completed, the patient moves to the ground. At this time, the hard plastic plate 18 is pushed upward by the limiting sleeve 9 and the positioning support plate 10 under the action of the spring 8, so that the hard plastic plate 18 returns to its initial position.
[0035] In the present invention, when the patient needs to turn over for examination, the pin rod 25 is pulled out and the limiting headrest 21 is turned over so that the face placement groove 26 is located directly above the hard plastic plate 18. The pin rod 25 is inserted into the positioning pin hole 20 through the pin hole on the positioning plate 24, and the limiting headrest 21 can be limited and fixed. The cushion lies on the hard plastic plate 18, and the patient's feet are placed in front of the supporting footboard 19. At this time, the patient's face is placed inside the face placement groove 26, and the patient's neck is placed in the neck placement groove 27. At this time, the hard plastic plate 18 moves downward. At this time, the hard plastic plate 18 presses the pressing column 13 downward, so that the pressing plate 12 drives the extrusion column 14 to move upward, so that the extrusion column 14 contacts the small-range spoke-type force sensor 17. At this time, the small-range spoke-type force sensor 17 outputs the patient's weight data.
[0036] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
