Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical examination auxiliary equipment, and in particular relates to a breast examination compression device. Background Art

[0002] Breast disease is one of the most common diseases in women. Especially with the accelerated pace of modern urban life, women are facing increasing life and work pressures. The incidence of breast diseases is increasing year by year. Severe breast diseases may lead to breast cancer. According to incomplete survey statistics, the incidence and mortality of breast diseases are also on the rise. In fact, the cause of death of most breast cancer patients is that they did not find it in time and missed the best time for treatment. Therefore, it is very necessary for women to conduct breast screening, early detection and early diagnosis of breast diseases. Mammography, the full name of mammography X-ray examination, also known as molybdenum palladium examination, is the first choice for diagnosing breast diseases and the simplest and most reliable non-invasive detection method. It is relatively less painful, simple and easy to use, with high resolution and good repeatability. The images taken can be compared before and after, and are not limited by age and body shape. It has been used as a routine examination. Its characteristic is that it can detect breast lumps that doctors cannot feel, especially for large breasts and fatty breasts. Its diagnostic accuracy can be as high as 95%. For T0 breast cancer (clinical outpatient negative) with a few tiny calcifications as the only manifestation, it can only be discovered and diagnosed early with the help of soft X-ray examinations. The diagnostic sensitivity of breast cancer is 82% to 89%, and the specificity is 87% to 94%.

[0003] Uses of mammary gland molybdenum target: 1. It can be used as a relatively non-invasive examination method, which can more comprehensively and correctly reflect the gross anatomical structure of the entire breast; 2. X-ray examination can be used to observe the effects of various physiological factors (such as menstrual cycle, pregnancy, lactation, menstruation and endocrine changes, etc.) on breast structure, and dynamic observation can be performed; 3. It can more reliably distinguish between benign breast lesions and malignant tumors; 4. Based on X-ray examination, certain precancerous lesions can be found, and follow-up radiographs can be taken for observation; 5. Follow-up examinations are conducted on the lesions of breast cancer patients after radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the efficacy is observed, and the healthy breast is monitored regularly. During a mammography examination, the patient's breast needs to be compressed and fixed. The main purposes of compression are: 1. Regularly reduce the thickness of the breast to facilitate easier and regular penetration of the X-ray beam from the subcutaneous area to the chest wall, thereby improving resolution; 2. Separate the structures within the breast to reduce diagnostic misjudgments caused by blurred images of lesions; 3. By reducing the thickness of the breast, proper clamping reduces the X-ray dose required for exposure; 4. Proper clamping fixes the breast, reducing the chance of motion blur, while bringing the breast structure closer to the film and improving geometric sharpness.

[0004] The existing breast compression device requires the breast to be placed on a placement piece (the upper surface of the detection instrument housing), and then the compression piece is used to flatten the breast on the detection instrument. This is conducive to the detection instrument obtaining a uniform image of the background. After the detection is completed, the compression piece will rise away from the placement piece. The existing device is difficult to adapt to breast examinations of patients of different heights, and the patient needs to adjust the height by himself. In addition, the instantaneous pressure of the compression device when compressing the breast is too great, which will cause pain to the patient. Therefore, it is necessary to find a suitable balance between the patient's tolerance to pressure and the thickness of the patient's breast. Utility Model Content
