[0056] The present invention is further described in detail below by specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Wherein similar elements in different embodiments adopt associated similar element numbers. In the following embodiments, many detailed descriptions are for making the present application better understood. However, those skilled in the art can easily recognize that some features can be omitted in different situations, or can be replaced by other elements, materials, methods. In some cases, some operations related to the present application are not shown or described in the specification, this is to avoid the core part of the present application being overwhelmed by too much description, and for those skilled in the art, it is not necessary to describe these related operations in detail, and they can fully understand the related operations according to the description in the specification and the general technical knowledge in the art.

[0057] In addition, the features, operations or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any appropriate manner to form various implementations. At the same time, the steps or actions in the method description can also be interchanged or adjusted in a manner that is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various sequences in the specification and the drawings are only for the purpose of clearly describing a certain embodiment and are not meant to be a required sequence, unless otherwise specified that a certain sequence must be followed.

[0058] The serial numbers assigned to the components herein, such as "first", "second", etc., are only used to distinguish the objects described and do not have any order or technical meaning. The "connection" and "coupling" mentioned in this application, unless otherwise specified, include direct and indirect connections (couplings).

[0059] In one solution, animals are anesthetized by intravenous injection; the user (e.g., a doctor) then places the anesthetized animal on the table of the radioactive imaging device, positions it properly, observes the animal's breathing, and starts the radioactive imaging device to capture X-rays at the moment the animal inhales. In this solution, the user first needs to observe the animal's breathing, and secondly, the animal is still breathing during the capture process, that is, the lungs are still moving, which may cause the X-ray to be blurred and the lung field to be unclear, requiring continuous shooting, and a low success rate.

[0060] In another solution, the user (e.g., a doctor) connects the animal to an anesthesia machine next to the radioactive imaging device, and operates the anesthesia machine to deliver anesthetic gas to the animal and maintain the inhalation; the user then operates the hand switch or foot switch on the radioactive imaging device to start exposure to image, and then the user operates the anesthesia machine to stop the inhalation. This solution requires the user to operate the radioactive imaging device and the anesthesia machine back and forth, which is cumbersome.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, the radioactive imaging device and the ventilation device are interconnected so that the two can work together automatically. The radioactive imaging device is used to perform radioactive imaging on the animal to be diagnosed. In some embodiments, the radioactive imaging device is an X-ray imaging device or a computer tomography device; the ventilation device can maintain the animal's inhalation. In some embodiments, the ventilation device is a ventilator or an anesthesia machine. The functions and structures of the radioactive imaging device and the ventilation device are first described below.

In the use state, the X-ray source 11b is arranged opposite to the detector 11c, and the X-ray source 11b emits the generated X-rays to the patient, and the detector 11c is used to receive the X-rays passing through the patient, and finally convert the received X-rays into images to complete the X-ray image acquisition.

[0064] The X-ray imaging device has a preparation stage and an exposure stage. In the preparation stage, the high-voltage generator 11a drives the X-ray source 11b to perform a preparation action, which may include: driving the anode rotation and filament heating in the X-ray source 11b to generate a high-voltage signal; in the exposure stage, the high-voltage generator 11a loads the high-voltage signal to the X-ray source 11b so that the X-ray source 11b emits X-rays.

[0065] Referring to FIG. 3 , the radioactive imaging device 10 in some embodiments may further include a communication port 13 , and the communication port 13 is used for communication.

[0066] Referring to FIG. 4 , the radioactive imaging device 10 in some embodiments may further include a remote operation terminal 14. In some embodiments, the remote operation terminal 14 and the body of the radioactive imaging device 10 (e.g., the imaging component 11) are arranged at a certain distance, so that it is convenient for the user to remotely operate. For example, the body of the radioactive imaging device 10 is placed in a shielded room, and the remote operation terminal 14 is placed outside the shielded room. In this way, the user can trigger the radioactive imaging device 10 to work by sending instructions / commands to the remote operation terminal 14, such as by one-click. This will be further explained below.

[0067] The above is some description of the radioactive imaging device 10 .

[0068] Referring to Fig. 5, the ventilation device 20 of some embodiments is used to complete at least one function required for the ventilation device to perform mechanical ventilation, and the at least one function includes an inspiratory hold function. In some embodiments, the ventilation device 20 includes a controller 22 and at least one ventilation function module 21, each ventilation function module 21 is used to complete at least one function required for the ventilation device 20 to perform mechanical ventilation; the at least one function includes an inspiratory hold function.

[0069] The ventilation function module 21 is described below in conjunction with the specific functions implemented by the ventilation device.

[0070] The ventilation device 20 in some embodiments may be a ventilator, which is an artificial mechanical ventilation device used to assist or control the patient's spontaneous breathing movements to achieve the function of gas exchange in the lungs, reduce the body's consumption, and facilitate the recovery of respiratory function. Referring to FIG. 6 , in some embodiments, the ventilation device may include a breathing interface 211, an air source interface 212, a breathing circuit, and a breathing assistance device.

[0071] The breathing circuit selectively connects the gas source interface 212 and the respiratory system (e.g., lungs) of the animal. In some embodiments, the breathing circuit includes an expiratory branch 213a and an inspiratory branch 213b, and the expiratory branch 213a is connected between the breathing interface 211 and the exhaust port 213c, and is used to guide the exhaled gas of the animal to the exhaust port 213c. The exhaust port 213c can be connected to the external environment or to a dedicated gas recovery device. The gas source interface 212 is used to connect to a gas source (not shown in the figure), and the gas source is used to provide gas, which can generally be oxygen and air; in some embodiments, the gas source can be a compressed gas cylinder or a central gas supply source, and the gas supply type is oxygen and air, etc., through the gas source interface 212. In some embodiments, the gas source can be an external gas source; in some embodiments, a gas source can also be provided inside the ventilation device. The gas source interface 212 may include conventional components such as a pressure gauge, a pressure regulator, a flow meter, a pressure reducing valve, and an air-oxygen ratio control protection device, which are respectively used to control the flow of various gases (such as oxygen and air). The inhalation branch 213b is connected between the respiratory interface 211 and the gas source interface 212, and is used to provide oxygen or air to the patient. For example, the gas input from the gas source interface 212 enters the inhalation branch 213b, and then enters the lungs of the animal through the respiratory interface 211. The respiratory interface 211 is used to connect the animal to the respiratory circuit. In addition to introducing the gas transmitted by the inhalation branch 213b to the patient, the gas exhaled by the animal can also be introduced into the exhaust port 213c through the exhalation branch 213a; depending on the situation, the respiratory interface 211 can be a nasal cannula or a mask worn on the mouth and nose. The breathing assistance device is connected to the gas source interface 212 and the breathing circuit to control the gas provided by the external gas source to be delivered to the animal through the breathing circuit; in some embodiments, the breathing assistance device may include an exhalation controller 214a and an inhalation controller 214b, and the exhalation controller 214a is arranged on the exhalation branch 213a, and is used to connect the exhalation branch 213a or close the exhalation branch 213a according to the control instruction, or control the flow rate or pressure of the patient's exhaled gas. In specific implementation, the exhalation controller 214a may include one or more devices such as an exhalation valve, a one-way valve, a flow controller, and a PEEP valve that can control the flow rate or pressure. The inhalation controller 214b is arranged on the inhalation branch 213b, and is used to connect the inhalation branch 213b or close the inhalation branch 213b according to the control instruction, or control the flow rate or pressure of the output gas. In specific implementation, the inhalation controller 214b may include one or more devices such as an exhalation valve, a one-way valve, or a flow controller that can control the flow rate or pressure.

[0072] In some embodiments, the controller 22 is used to execute instructions or programs to control the breathing assistance device, the air source interface 212 and / or various control valves in the breathing circuit, or to process the received data to generate the required calculation or judgment results, or to generate visual data or graphics for display.

[0073] The above is some description of the ventilation device 20 as a ventilator. It should be noted that FIG. 6 above is only an example of a ventilator, and it is not intended to limit the ventilator to only have such a structure. In the example in the figure, the ventilation function module 21 in the ventilation device 20 can be the above-mentioned breathing interface 211, gas source interface 212, breathing circuit and breathing assistance device.

[0074] In some embodiments, the ventilation device 20 may also be an anesthesia machine, which is mainly used to provide anesthetic gas, deliver the anesthetic gas to the respiratory system (such as lungs) of the animal, and control the amount of anesthetic gas inhaled. Referring to FIG. 7 , the ventilation device 20 in some embodiments may include a breathing interface 311 , an air source interface 312 , a breathing assist device 320 , and an anesthetic output device 330 .

[0075] The gas source interface 312 is used to connect to a gas source (not shown in the figure), and the gas source is used to provide gas. The gas can generally be oxygen, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or air. In some embodiments, the gas source can be a compressed gas cylinder or a central gas supply source, and the gas supply type is oxygen, laughing gas and air. In some embodiments, the gas source can be an external gas source; in some embodiments, a gas source can also be provided inside the ventilation device. The gas source interface 312 may include conventional components such as a pressure gauge, a pressure regulator, a flow meter, a pressure reducing valve and a N2O-O2 ratio control protection device, which are respectively used to control the flow of various gases (such as oxygen, laughing gas and air). The gas input by the gas source interface 312 enters the breathing circuit and forms a mixed gas with the original gas in the breathing circuit.

[0076] The breathing assistance device 320 is used to provide power for the animal's non-spontaneous breathing and maintain a patency of the airway. In some embodiments, the breathing assistance device 320 is connected to the gas source interface 312 and the breathing circuit to control the gas provided by the external gas source to be delivered to the animal through the breathing circuit. In some specific embodiments, the breathing assistance device 320 mixes the fresh gas input from the gas source interface 312, the gas exhaled by the patient in the breathing circuit, and the anesthetic drug output from the anesthetic output device 330, and outputs it to the breathing interface 311 through the inspiratory branch 340b to drive the animal to inhale, and receives the gas exhaled by the patient through the expiratory branch 340a. In a specific embodiment, the breathing assistance device 320 generally includes a machine-controlled ventilation module, and the airflow duct of the machine-controlled ventilation module is connected to the breathing circuit. In the anesthesia maintenance stage or when the animal has not recovered spontaneous breathing, the machine-controlled ventilation module is used to provide the patient with breathing power.

[0077] The anesthetic output device 330 is used to provide anesthetic drugs. Usually, the anesthetic drugs are mixed into the fresh air introduced by the gas source interface 312 in the form of gas, and are transported to the breathing circuit together. In a specific embodiment, the anesthetic output device 330 is implemented by an anesthetic vaporizer. The anesthetic is usually in liquid form and stored in the anesthetic vaporizer. Optionally, the anesthetic vaporizer may include a heating device for heating the anesthetic to volatilize it and generate anesthetic vapor. The anesthetic output device 330 is connected to the pipeline of the gas source interface 312, and the anesthetic vapor is mixed with the fresh air introduced by the gas source interface 312, and then is transported to the breathing circuit together.

[0078] In some embodiments, the breathing circuit may include an inspiratory branch 340b, an expiratory branch 340a and a soda lime tank 340c, wherein the inspiratory branch 340b and the expiratory branch 340a are connected to form a closed circuit, and the soda lime tank 340c is arranged on the pipeline of the expiratory branch 340a. The mixed gas of fresh air introduced by the air source interface 312 is input from the inlet of the inspiratory branch 340b and provided to the patient through the breathing interface 311 arranged at the outlet of the inspiratory branch 340b. The breathing interface 311 can be a mask, a nasal cannula or an endotracheal cannula. In a preferred embodiment, a one-way valve is arranged on the inspiratory branch 340b, and the one-way valve is opened during the inspiratory phase and closed during the expiratory phase. A one-way valve is also arranged on the expiratory branch 340a, and the one-way valve is closed during the inspiratory phase and opened during the expiratory phase. The inlet of the exhalation branch 340a is connected to the breathing interface 311. When the animal exhales, the exhaled gas enters the soda lime tank 340c through the exhalation branch 340a, and the carbon dioxide in the exhaled gas is filtered out by the substance in the soda lime tank 340c. The gas after filtering out the carbon dioxide is recirculated into the inhalation branch 340b.

[0079] In some embodiments, the controller 22 is used to execute instructions or programs to control the breathing assistance device 320, the air source interface 310 and / or various control valves in the breathing circuit, or to process received data to generate the required calculation or judgment results, or to generate visual data or graphics for display.

[0080] The above is some description of the ventilation device 20 as an anesthesia machine. It should be noted that FIG. 7 above is only an example of an anesthesia machine, which is not used to limit the anesthesia machine to have such a structure. In the example in the figure, the ventilation function module 21 in the ventilation device 20 can be the above-mentioned breathing interface 311, gas source interface 312, breathing assistance device 320 and anesthetic output device 330.

[0081] The ventilation device 20 can deliver air to the animal's lungs and maintain a stable pressure in the lungs, thereby completing the inspiratory hold function; during the inspiratory hold process or this stage, the animal's lung pressure is stable and the lungs are not moving, thereby facilitating radiological imaging.

[0082] When the ventilation device 20 is a ventilator, the animal can be anesthetized by intravenous injection, and then the animal can be inhaled and maintained by the ventilator. When the ventilation device 20 is an anesthesia machine, the animal can be anesthetized and inhaled and maintained directly by the anesthesia machine.

[0083] Referring to FIG. 8 , the ventilation device 20 in some embodiments may further include a communication port 23 , and the communication port 23 is used for communication.

[0084] 9 , the ventilation device 20 in some embodiments may further include a remote operation terminal 24. In some embodiments, the remote operation terminal 24 and the radioactive imaging device 10 are arranged at a certain distance, so that it is convenient for the user to remotely operate. For example, the radioactive imaging device 10 is placed in a shielded room, and the remote operation terminal 24 is placed outside the shielded room. In this way, the user can trigger the ventilation device 20 to work by sending instructions / commands to the remote operation terminal 24, for example, by one-click.

[0085] The above is some description of the ventilation device 20.

[0086] Referring to FIG. 10 , some embodiments of the present application disclose a control system, which includes a radioactive imaging device 10, a ventilator 20, and a control device 30. In response to a shooting command, the control device 30 triggers the ventilator 20 to perform inhalation hold on an animal in an anesthetized state; the ventilator 20 generates a shooting trigger instruction at a preset time node of the inhalation hold stage; in response to the shooting trigger instruction, the radioactive imaging device 10 starts performing radioactive imaging on the animal.

[0087] It can be understood that when the ventilation device 20 is an anesthesia machine, then in response to the shooting command, the control device 30 triggers the ventilation device 20 to supply gas (mixed with anesthetic gas) to the animal to complete anesthesia and perform inhalation maintenance, that is, the anesthesia machine can put the animal in an anesthetized state and perform inhalation maintenance by supplying a mixed gas with anesthetic gas to the animal.

[0088] It can be understood that when the radioactive imaging device 10 starts to perform radioactive imaging on an animal, it means that the radioactive imaging device 10 begins to actually capture and image the animal. Some necessary work required for imaging can be completed before or at this stage. For example, the radioactive imaging device 10 is an X-ray imaging device, which includes a preparation stage and an exposure stage. The preparation stage can be done before receiving a shooting trigger instruction. For example, in response to a shooting command, the control device 30 not only triggers the ventilation device 20 to maintain the inhalation of the animal in an anesthetized state, but also triggers the radioactive imaging device 10 to enter the preparation stage. When the ventilation device 20 generates a shooting trigger instruction, the radioactive imaging device 10 enters the exposure stage in response to the shooting trigger instruction.

[0089] In some embodiments, after the radioactive imaging device 10 completes radioactive imaging of the animal, the radioactive imaging device 10 generates an inhalation hold stop instruction; in response to the inhalation hold stop instruction, the ventilation device 20 stops performing inhalation hold on the animal. For example, when the radioactive imaging device 10 is an X-ray imaging device, after the exposure is completed, the radioactive imaging of the animal is completed, and the above-mentioned inhalation hold stop instruction can be generated at this time to cause the ventilation device 20 to stop performing inhalation hold on the animal.

[0090] In some embodiments, the ventilation device 20 stops holding the inspiratory breath for the animal after the inspiratory breath is held for a predetermined period of time.

[0091] In some embodiments, the control device 30 and the radioactive imaging device 10 are arranged at a certain distance, so that it is convenient for the user to perform remote operation. For example, the radioactive imaging device 10 and the ventilation device 20 are placed in a shielded room, and the control device 30 is placed outside the shielded room. In this way, the user can trigger the radioactive imaging device 10 and the ventilation device 20 to work together by sending instructions / commands to the control device 30, such as with one click, to complete the radioactive imaging. Not only is the operation convenient, but during the radioactive imaging process, the user does not need to enter the shielded room to complete the shooting work, thereby reducing the impact of radiation from the imaging equipment and is beneficial to the health of the user.

[0092] In some embodiments, a shooting button is provided on the control device 30, and when the shooting button is triggered, the above-mentioned shooting command is generated.

[0093] In some embodiments, in response to the user's body position selection command, the radioactive imaging device 10 obtains the current body position to be radioactively imaged; if the current body position to be radioactively imaged is the target body position, the radioactive imaging device 10 sends a request for communication connection with the ventilation device 20, thereby completing the communication connection with the ventilation device 20; in some embodiments, the target body position includes the chest and abdomen.

[0094] In the example where the radioactive imaging device 10 includes an imaging component 11, a controller 12, and a communication port 13, the communication port 13 is used to communicate with the ventilation device 20. The controller 12 controls the imaging component 11 to start radioactive imaging of the animal in response to a shooting trigger instruction; wherein the shooting trigger instruction is generated by the ventilation device 20 at a preset time node of the inspiration hold stage when the animal in the anesthetized state is in inspiration hold.

[0095] In some embodiments, in response to a shooting command, the controller 12 generates an inhalation hold trigger instruction and sends it to the ventilation device 20 through the communication port 13. The inhalation hold trigger instruction is used to cause the ventilation device 20 to perform an inhalation hold on the animal.

[0096] In some embodiments, the remote operation terminal 14 can generate the above-mentioned shooting command in response to the user's operation. In some embodiments, the remote operation terminal 14 and the body of the radioactive imaging device 10 (such as the imaging component 11) are set at a certain distance, so that it is convenient for the user to remotely operate. For example, the body of the radioactive imaging device 10 and the ventilation device 20 are placed in a shielded room, and the remote operation terminal 14 is placed outside the shielded room. In this way, the user can trigger the radioactive imaging device 10 and the ventilation device 20 to produce linkage by sending instructions / commands to the remote operation terminal 14, such as one-key, to complete the radioactive imaging; not only is the operation convenient, but also during the radioactive imaging process, the user does not need to enter the shielded room to complete the shooting work, reducing the impact of radiation from the imaging device, which is beneficial to the health of the user. In some embodiments, a shooting button is provided on the remote operation terminal 14, and when the shooting button is triggered, the above-mentioned shooting command will be generated.

[0097] It can be understood that when the ventilation device 20 is an anesthesia machine, the inspiration hold trigger instruction is used to enable the ventilation device 20 to deliver gas (mixed with anesthetic gas) to the animal to complete anesthesia and perform inspiration hold, that is, the anesthesia machine can deliver a mixed gas with anesthetic gas to the animal to put the animal in an anesthetized state and perform inspiration hold.

[0098] It can be understood that the controller 12 controls the imaging component 11 to start radioactive imaging of the animal, which means that the imaging component 11 starts to actually capture the animal. Some necessary work required for imaging can be completed before or at this stage. For example, the radioactive imaging device 10 is an X-ray imaging device, which includes a preparation stage and an exposure stage. The preparation stage can be done before receiving the shooting trigger instruction. For example, in response to the shooting command, the controller 12 generates an inhalation hold trigger instruction on the one hand to enable the ventilation device 20 to inhale and hold the animal, and on the other hand triggers the radioactive imaging device 10 to enter the preparation stage. When the ventilation device 20 generates the shooting trigger instruction, the controller 12 triggers the radioactive imaging device 10 to enter the exposure stage.

[0099] After the imaging component 11 completes the radioactive imaging of the animal, the controller 12 generates an inhalation hold stop instruction and sends it to the ventilation device 20 through the communication port 13; the inhalation hold stop instruction is used to make the ventilation device 20 stop inhaling and holding the animal. For example, when the radioactive imaging device 10 is an X-ray imaging device, after the exposure is completed, the radioactive imaging of the animal is completed, and the above-mentioned inhalation hold stop instruction can be generated at this time to make the ventilation device 20 stop inhaling and holding the animal.

[0100] In some embodiments, in response to the user's body position selection command, the controller 12 obtains the current body position to be imaged by radioactivity; if the current body position to be imaged by radioactivity is the target body position, the controller 12 sends a request for communication connection with the ventilation device 20 through the communication port 13 to complete the communication connection with the ventilation device 20; in some embodiments, the target body position includes the chest and abdomen.

[0101] In the example where the ventilation device 20 includes a ventilation function module 21, a controller 22 and a communication port 23, the communication port 23 is used to communicate with the radioactive imaging device 10. The controller 22 is used to: in response to an inhalation hold trigger instruction, control the ventilation function module 21 to perform inhalation hold on the animal in the anesthetized state, and generate a shooting trigger instruction at a preset time node of the inhalation hold stage, and the shooting trigger instruction is used to enable the radioactive imaging device 10 to start radioactive imaging of the animal.

[0102] In some embodiments, the inspiration hold trigger instruction is generated by the radiological imaging device 10 in response to a shooting command.

[0103] In some embodiments, the remote operation terminal 24 can generate an inhale and hold trigger instruction in response to the user's operation. In some embodiments, the remote operation terminal 24 and the radioactive imaging device 10 are set at a certain distance, which is convenient for the user to operate remotely. For example, the radioactive imaging device 10 is placed in a shielded room, and the remote operation terminal 24 is placed outside the shielded room. In this way, the user can trigger the radioactive imaging device 10 and the ventilation device 20 to produce linkage by sending instructions / commands to the remote operation terminal 24, such as one-click, to complete radioactive imaging; not only is the operation convenient, but also during the radioactive imaging process, the user does not need to enter the shielded room to complete the shooting work, which reduces the impact of radiation from the imaging device and is beneficial to the health of the user. In some embodiments, a shooting button is provided on the remote operation terminal 24. When the shooting button is triggered, the above-mentioned inhale and hold trigger instruction will be generated.

[0104] It can be understood that when the ventilation device 20 is an anesthesia machine, the inspiration hold trigger instruction is used to enable the ventilation device 20 to deliver gas (mixed with anesthetic gas) to the animal to complete anesthesia and perform inspiration hold, that is, the anesthesia machine can deliver a mixed gas with anesthetic gas to the animal to put the animal in an anesthetized state and perform inspiration hold.

[0105] In some embodiments, in response to an inspiratory hold stop instruction, the controller 22 controls the ventilation function module 21 to stop performing inspiratory hold on the animal, wherein the inspiratory hold stop instruction is generated by the radioactive imaging device 10 after completing radioactive imaging of the animal.

[0106] In some embodiments, the controller 22 controls the ventilation function module 21 to stop performing inhalation hold on the animal after the inhalation hold time exceeds a preset time.

[0107] Please refer to Figure 11. In some embodiments, a control device 30 is also disclosed, which is applied to the radioactive imaging device 10 and the ventilation device 20; the control device 30 includes a human-computer interaction terminal 31 and a controller 32; the human-computer interaction terminal 31 is used for the user to input commands, and in response to the shooting command input by the user, the controller 32: triggers the ventilation device 20 to hold the inhalation of the animal in the anesthetized state, and generates a shooting trigger instruction at a preset time node in the inhalation hold stage, and the shooting trigger instruction is used to enable the radioactive imaging device 10 to start radioactive imaging of the animal.

[0108] It can be understood that when the ventilation device 20 is an anesthesia machine, then in response to the shooting command input by the user, the controller 32 triggers the ventilation device 20 to supply gas (mixed with anesthetic gas) to the animal to complete anesthesia and perform inhalation maintenance, that is, the anesthesia machine can put the animal in an anesthetized state and perform inhalation maintenance by supplying a mixed gas with anesthetic gas to the animal.

[0109] In some embodiments, in response to an inspiratory hold stop instruction, the ventilation device 20 stops performing inspiratory hold on the animal, and the inspiratory hold stop instruction is generated by the radioactive imaging device 10 after completing radioactive imaging of the animal.

[0110] In some embodiments, the ventilation device 20 stops holding the inspiratory breath for the animal after the inspiratory breath is held for a predetermined period of time.

[0111] In some embodiments, the control device 30 is integrated into the radiological imaging device 10 or the ventilation device 20 .

[0112] In some embodiments, the control device 30 and the radioactive imaging device 10 are arranged at a certain distance, so that it is convenient for the user to operate remotely. For example, the radioactive imaging device 10 is placed in a shielded room, and the control device 30 is placed outside the shielded room. In this way, the user can trigger the radioactive imaging device 10 and the ventilation device 20 to produce linkage by sending instructions / commands to the control device 30, such as one-key, to complete radioactive imaging; not only is the operation convenient, but also during the radioactive imaging process, the user does not need to enter the shielded room to complete the shooting work, reducing the impact of radiation from the imaging device, which is beneficial to the health of the user. In some embodiments, a shooting button is provided on the human-computer interaction terminal 31, and when the shooting button is triggered, the above-mentioned shooting command will be generated.
