Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly to an automated CT image self-diagnosis assistance device. Background Art

[0002] CT diagnosis has been widely applied in the clinical field due to its unique diagnostic advantages. Its diagnostic principle is as follows: X-rays penetrate the human body layer by layer, and continuous cross-sectional scans are performed around a specific part of the human body. Subsequently, secondary imaging processing is carried out with the aid of a computer to obtain cross-sectional images or three-dimensional images of the examined part of the human body, which can clearly present the pathological conditions.

[0003] However, during the CT imaging process, there is a problem that cannot be ignored. That is, when X-rays penetrate the human body, in addition to irradiating the target detection part as necessary, it often inevitably causes a certain degree of irradiation damage to the redundant parts around the body. For example, when performing a CT scan of the chest, in order to ensure complete acquisition of chest images, the X-ray range may cover parts of the area below the neck and above the abdomen, causing the tissues and organs in these non-essential detection areas to also be exposed to X-ray radiation.

[0004] There are some problems in the CT imaging process. On the one hand, doctors need to process a large amount of CT image data every day and are in a high-intensity working state for a long time, which is extremely prone to fatigue, greatly increasing the risks of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. On the other hand, it is quite difficult for doctors with insufficient experience to accurately interpret complex CT images. With the continuous progress of medical technology, it is extremely urgent to develop a new device that can assist doctors in CT image diagnosis, thereby improving the diagnostic efficiency and accuracy. Moreover, this device preferably can also optimize the CT scanning process to a certain extent, reduce unnecessary radiation exposure, and effectively ensure the health and safety of patients. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the above CT imaging process, the present invention is proposed.

[0006] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide an automated CT image self-diagnosis assistance device, which solves the above technical problems.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] An automated CT image self-diagnosis assistance device includes an image acquisition and transmission unit. A display and interaction unit is provided on the front surface of the image acquisition and transmission unit. One end of the image acquisition and transmission unit is provided with a support plate. A mechanical transmission and positioning unit is provided on the upper surface of the support plate. A transmission lying board is drivably arranged in the mechanical transmission and positioning unit. By operating the mechanical transmission and positioning unit through the display and interaction unit, the transmission lying board can be conveyed to the position required by the image acquisition and transmission unit. The image acquisition and transmission unit is internally provided with a central processing unit, a storage and retrieval unit.

[0009] Preferably, adjusting grooves are respectively provided at both ends of the surface of the transmission lying board, and clamping sliders are respectively spliced and slidably arranged in the adjusting grooves at both ends. A shielding component is fixedly arranged on the surface of one clamping slider, and a cushioning component is fixedly arranged on the surface of the other clamping slider.

[0010] Preferably, the cushioning component is an arc-shaped silica gel pad.

[0011] Preferably, the shielding component includes an adjusting cylinder. An adjusting vertical rod is slidably arranged inside the top of the adjusting cylinder. A damping rotating shaft is arranged at the top of the adjusting vertical rod. Two groups of L-shaped unfolding brackets are respectively rotatably sleeved outside the damping rotating shaft. A folding curtain is fixedly arranged between the two groups of L-shaped unfolding brackets. The two ends of the other side of the folding curtain are respectively fixedly connected with extension frames. A sliding rod is fixedly installed on the surface of the extension frame, and the other end of the sliding rod is slidably arranged inside the L-shaped unfolding bracket. A wrinkled part is provided in the middle of the folding curtain.

[0012] Preferably, a threaded hole is provided on the surface of the adjusting cylinder, and a locking nut is threadedly connected in the threaded hole.

[0013] Preferably, a foot cleaning component is provided at one end of the bottom of the support plate.

[0014] Preferably, the foot cleaning component includes a placement pedal and a liquid medicine storage box. A groove is provided on the surface of the support plate. A wrapping pad is fixedly arranged at the opening at the top of the groove. A partition plate is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the groove. Two groups of placement pedals are fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the groove, and the placement pedals are separated by the partition plate. The liquid medicine storage box is detachably installed on the surface of the support plate, and the top end of the liquid medicine storage box is communicated with the groove through a plurality of air holes. A liquid medicine heating module is arranged inside the liquid medicine storage box.

[0015] Preferably, the display and interaction unit at the front end of the image acquisition and transmission unit provides a visual operation interface, can display image-related information in real time, and can also input instructions through it to control the storage and retrieval unit, the mechanical transmission and positioning unit, the central processing unit, and the image acquisition and transmission unit.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the technical effects and advantages provided by the present invention:

[0017] In the present invention, through the central processing unit built in the image acquisition and transmission unit, the collected CT image data can be preliminarily processed to make the images clearer, facilitating doctors to observe the details of lesions. The storage and retrieval unit can store a large amount of CT image case materials and the corresponding diagnosis results. Doctors can quickly retrieve similar cases by inputting instructions through the display and interaction unit and refer to past diagnosis experiences. For doctors with insufficient experience, this greatly reduces the difficulty of accurately interpreting complex CT images and reduces the risk of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. At the same time, in the face of a large amount of CT image data every day, this auxiliary device can share some of the doctors' work, relieve the fatigue of doctors under high-intensity working conditions, and further improve the diagnosis efficiency.

[0018] In the present invention, through the shielding assembly provided on the retransmission stretcher board, it can be flexibly adjusted according to the part of the patient to be detected. For example, when performing a chest CT scan, by adjusting the height of the adjusting vertical rod in the adjusting cylinder, using the damping rotating shaft to rotate the L-shaped unfolding bracket, unfolding the folding curtain and covering the areas from below the patient's neck to above the abdomen, etc., which are non-essential detection areas but vulnerable to radiation, and then fixing the position of the adjusting vertical rod with a locking nut, effectively blocking the radiation of X-rays to these parts, reducing the unnecessary radiation exposure of patients, and effectively protecting the health and safety of patients.

[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] An embodiment of the present invention discloses an automated CT image self-diagnosis auxiliary device.

[0029] Referring to Figures 1-5 , an automated CT image self-diagnosis auxiliary device includes an image acquisition and transmission unit 1. A display and interaction unit 2 is provided on the front surface of the image acquisition and transmission unit 1. One end of the image acquisition and transmission unit 1 is provided with a support plate 4. A mechanical transmission and positioning unit 3 is provided on the upper surface of the support plate 4. A transmission reclining board 6 is movably provided in the mechanical transmission and positioning unit 3. And by operating the mechanical transmission and positioning unit 3 through the display and interaction unit 2, the transmission reclining board 6 can be transmitted to the position required by the image acquisition and transmission unit 1. The image acquisition and transmission unit 1 incorporates a central processing unit and a storage and retrieval unit; the mechanical transmission and positioning unit 3 cooperates with the transmission reclining board 6. After the patient lies on the transmission reclining board 6, the medical staff can operate the mechanical transmission and positioning unit 3 through the display and interaction unit 2 to accurately and quickly transmit the transmission reclining board 6 to the position required by the image acquisition and transmission unit 1. This mechanical transmission and positioning unit 3 is a conventional medical device for CT images.

[0030] Referring to Figure 1 , adjustment grooves 517 are respectively provided at both ends of the surface of the transmission reclining board 6, and clamping sliders 8 are respectively spliced and slidably arranged in the two adjustment grooves at both ends. A shielding component 10 is fixedly provided on the surface of one clamping slider 8, and a pad component 9 is fixedly provided on the surface of the other clamping slider 8.

[0031] The pad component 9 is an arc-shaped silica gel pad 15.

[0032] Referring to Figure 3, the shielding component 10 includes an adjusting cylinder 11. An adjusting vertical rod 12 is slidably arranged inside the top of the adjusting cylinder 11. A damping rotating shaft is arranged at the top of the adjusting column. Two groups of L-shaped unfolding brackets 14 are respectively rotatably sleeved outside the damping rotating shaft. A folding curtain 16 is fixedly arranged between the two groups of L-shaped unfolding brackets 14. The two ends of the other side of the folding curtain 16 are respectively fixedly connected with an extension frame 19. A sliding rod 18 is fixedly installed on the surface of the extension frame 19, and the other end of the sliding rod 18 is slidably arranged inside the L-shaped unfolding bracket 14. A wrinkled portion 17 is arranged in the middle of the folding curtain 16; the wrinkled portion 17 can be stretched or contracted as needed, so that the folding curtain 16 can adapt to the body parts of different patients and shielding requirements; for example, when a large area needs to be shielded, the wrinkled portion 16 can be pulled open to increase the coverage area of the folding curtain 17; and when the shielding component 10 is not in use, the wrinkled portion 16 can make the folding curtain 17 easier to store and reduce the occupied space; and when in use, it can be conveniently unfolded, and the wrinkled portion 16 can help the folding curtain quickly return to a flat state, facilitating operation and use.

[0033] Threaded holes are formed on the surface of the adjusting cylinder 11, and locking nuts 13 are threadedly connected inside the threaded holes.

[0034] Refer to Figure 3 , one end of the bottom of the support plate 4 is provided with a foot cleaning component 5;

[0035] Since the feet of the patient may emit odors or bacterial and other pollutants before taking off the shoes before entering the examination area, conventionally, disposable non-woven fabrics are laid for isolation, but it is extremely easy to cause waste; by setting the foot cleaning component 5 in the present invention, the feet can be cleaned before the patient lies on the transmission reclining board 6 for examination, so as to avoid these pollutants being brought to the examination bed and the examination area, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the CT image acquisition environment and preventing the image quality from being affected or the patient from being secondarily polluted due to the unclean environment.

[0036] Refer to Figure 4, the foot cleaning component 5 includes a placement pedal 54 and a liquid medicine storage tank 55. A groove 51 is formed on the surface of the support plate 4. A wrapping pad 52 is fixedly provided at the top opening of the groove 51. A partition plate 53 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the groove 51. Two groups of placement pedals 54 are fixedly provided on the inner wall of the groove 51, and the placement pedals 54 are separated by the partition plate 53. The liquid medicine storage tank 55 is detachably installed on the surface of the support plate 4, and the top end of the liquid medicine storage tank 55 communicates with the groove 51 through a plurality of air holes 56. A liquid medicine heating module is built in the liquid medicine storage tank 55. When in use, an appropriate amount of cleaning and disinfection liquid medicine is added into the liquid medicine storage tank 55, and the liquid medicine heating module is turned on to heat the liquid medicine. After the liquid medicine is heated, it will slowly volatilize into the groove 51 through a plurality of air holes 56. After the patient enters the examination room, the medical staff guides the patient to place the bare feet on the placement pedal 54. Since the placement pedals 54 are separated by the partition plate 53, the two feet can be placed separately. At this time, the volatilized liquid medicine will clean and disinfect the patient's feet, removing the foot odor and some bacteria.

[0037] Referring to Figure 5 , the display and interaction unit 2 at the front end of the image acquisition and transmission unit 1 provides a visual operation interface, which can display image-related information in real time, and can also input commands through it to control the storage and retrieval unit, the mechanical transmission and positioning unit 3, the central processing unit, and the image acquisition and transmission unit. The support plate 4 serves as the bearing foundation of the mechanical transmission and positioning unit 3 to ensure its stable operation. The mechanical transmission and positioning unit 3 on it is the key to the flexible operation of the entire device. It can accurately drive the transmission stretcher 6 to move, and transfer the transmission stretcher 6 where the patient is located to the best position of the image acquisition and transmission unit 1 according to requirements, so as to obtain clear and accurate images, and can accurately control whether it is to adjust the height, angle or horizontal position. The central processing unit built in the image acquisition and transmission unit 1 is like the "brain" of the device, responsible for performing high-speed operations and analyses on the acquired image data, and using algorithms to extract key features for auxiliary diagnosis. The storage and retrieval unit is like a "huge database", storing a large amount of past image data for convenient retrieval at any time, providing reference for the current diagnosis by comparing historical data, and helping medical staff make more accurate medical decisions.

[0038] In the present invention, when in use, the medical staff turns on the power of the device, checks the connection status and operating parameters of each unit through the display and interaction unit 2 to ensure that everything is normal; according to the inspection requirements of the day, prepare the corresponding protective supplies, such as preparing cleaning and disinfection tools for the shielding component 10 for processing after the patient uses it; at the same time, add an appropriate amount of cleaning and disinfection liquid medicine into the liquid medicine storage tank 55, turn on the liquid medicine heating module, and set an appropriate temperature to make the liquid medicine slowly volatilize;

[0039] Patient inspection process:

[0040] After the patient enters the examination room, the medical staff guides the patient to place their feet on the placement pedal 54 of the foot cleaning component 5 for a short period of foot cleaning and disinfection to remove odors. Subsequently, the patient lies on the transmission reclining board 6, and the medical staff adjusts the shielding component 10 according to the part of the patient to be examined. For example, when examining the chest, the shielding component 10 on one side of the clamping slider 8 is pulled above the patient's body, and the height of the adjusting vertical rod 12 is adjusted so that the folding curtain 16 can exactly cover the area from below the neck to above the abdomen, and the locking nut 13 is tightened to fix it. The cushion component 9 on the other side of the clamping slider 8 provides certain support and limitation to the patient's body.

[0041] The medical staff operates the mechanical transmission and positioning unit 3 through the display and interaction unit 2 to smoothly transfer the transmission reclining board 6 to the designated scanning position within the image acquisition and transmission unit 1. During the scanning process, the image acquisition and transmission unit 1 real-time collects CT image data and transmits it to the central processing unit for preliminary processing. The processed image data is, on the one hand, displayed on the display and interaction unit 2 for the medical staff to view in real-time, and on the other hand, stored in the storage and retrieval unit. If the medical staff has doubts about the image, they can retrieve similar case materials through the display and interaction unit 2 at any time for comparative analysis.

[0042] After the examination is completed, the medical staff removes the transmission reclining board 6, and the patient gets up and leaves. The medical staff cleans and disinfects the shielding component 10 to prepare for the next patient. At the same time, the remaining amount of the liquid medicine in the liquid medicine storage tank 55 is checked and replenished in a timely manner.

[0043] It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application are not limited to the exact structures already described and shown in the drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of the embodiments of the present application is only limited by the appended claims.

[0044] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the embodiments of the present application. Their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limitations on the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the embodiments of the present application, several variations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.
