[0059] S1, according to the required number of animal experiments, fixing the experimental mice on the mouse support bed 21 through the telescopic tooth bar 23;
[0060] S2, pulling down the anesthesia mask 22 connected with the hose 24, fully wrapping the head of the experimental mouse, adjusting the mixed gas of anesthetic gas and oxygen to a set ratio through the anesthesia machine, maintaining the anesthesia state of the experimental mouse, and fixing the anesthesia mask 22 on the mouse support bed 21 through the adhesive tape;
[0061] S3, respectively inserting the three mouse support beds 21 into the corresponding cavities 11 and pushing into the preset position of the fixer 1;
[0062] S4, pushing the whole multi-mouse fixing device into the nuclear magnetic birdcage coil, and tightly buckling the fixer 1 and the second connecting hole 218 of the nuclear magnetic birdcage coil;

[0064] Compared with the prior art, the multi-mouse fixing device has the following beneficial effects:
[0065] (1) Compared with the existing detection method, the multi-mouse fixing device can simultaneously fix, anesthetize and image scan multiple experimental mice. Under the same scanning sequence and scanning times, more sample quantities can be scanned at one time, the imaging detection efficiency is improved, and the complexity of the later data processing and image fusion is greatly reduced.

[0067] (3) Compared with the existing experimental mouse bed, the multi-mouse fixing device designs an additional fixer 1, which can tightly fix each mouse support bed 21 in the nuclear magnetic birdcage coil, avoiding motion artifacts caused by scanning vibration. The guide sliding groove 14 in the fixer 1 and the horizontal marker line 13 at the tail can ensure that the experimental mouse is horizontally prone or supine in the nuclear magnetic birdcage coil, and will not produce a large turning angle, thereby improving the imaging quality.
[0068] (4) Compared with the existing detection method, the telescopic tooth bar 23 is adopted in the present application, and only the upper teeth of the experimental mouse need to be buckled into the fixing hole 235 of the second end 233 during imaging, the anesthesia mask 22 is pulled down, and the position of the anesthesia mask 22 is fixed by using a screw or adhesive tape.
