Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of near-infrared brain function imaging, in particular to a head cap used for near-infrared brain function imaging equipment and the near-infrared brain function imaging equipment. Background Art

[0002] At present, near-infrared functional brain imaging technology (fNIRS) is a new non-invasive brain functional imaging technology that has emerged in recent years. fNIRS mainly uses the difference in the absorption rate of oxygenated hemoglobin and deoxygenated hemoglobin in brain tissue to near-infrared light of different wavelengths to detect the hemodynamic activity of the cerebral cortex in real time and directly. By observing this hemodynamic change, the neural activity of the brain can be inferred through the law of neurovascular coupling. In recent years, fNIRS has gradually been applied to research in the field of cognitive neuroscience. This technology can monitor and detect the functional activities of different areas of the cerebral cortex safely, non-invasively, and at low cost.

[0003] Most common near-infrared head caps are cloth head caps. When near-infrared brain functional imaging technology is used to monitor changes in patients' brain function status for different diseases or users, holes need to be punched in specific areas of the cloth head cap to install probes to detect different brain areas. That is, a customized head cap is needed. Cloth head caps usually have a certain degree of elasticity or tightness, and often require the use of positioning plates and silicone gaskets to ensure that the distance between the transmitting probe and the receiving probe remains within the effective distance range of the detection channel signal. Inaccurate positioning will affect the signal quality of the detection channel. In addition, customized head caps are not only costly, but also unable to adjust the detection area and the number of detection channels in real time according to the actual situation of the user, and have poor versatility.

[0031] The present invention provides a head cap for near-infrared brain function imaging equipment. Figures 1 to 4As shown, the head cap includes an arc-shaped wearing body 1 and a probe supporting pad 2. The arc-shaped wearing body 1 is worn on the head and is arranged around a part of the head. The probe supporting pad 2 is movably arranged on the arc-shaped wearing body 1, and the side of the probe supporting pad 2 facing the head is used to fit the head, and a probe mounting hole 3 is provided on the probe supporting pad 2, and the probe mounting hole 3 is used to install a transmitting probe or a receiving probe, and an effective detection channel is formed between the transmitting probe and the receiving probe within a preset distance range, wherein the probe supporting pad 2 has at least one or more of the following shapes: a sheet-like X shape and a sheet-like hexagon, and probe supporting pads 2 of the same shape or different shapes are matched and arranged on the arc-shaped wearing body 1.

[0032] The probes of the near-infrared brain functional imaging device can be divided into at least two types according to their functions, namely the above-mentioned transmitting probe and receiving probe. The above-mentioned transmitting probe and receiving probe can be arranged in pairs, and an effective detection channel can be formed between each pair of transmitting probe and receiving probe. It should be noted that the distance between the transmitting probe and the receiving probe is maintained within a preset distance range. Specifically, the distance between the transmitting probe and the receiving probe is about 3 cm, and an effective detection channel can be formed between the transmitting probe and the receiving probe.

[0033] Optionally, the arc-shaped wearing body 1 can be partially made of elastic material to adapt to heads of different sizes, ensuring that the arc-shaped wearing body 1 can be stably clamped on the head. Specifically, the arc-shaped wearing body 1 can be made of plastic or acrylic.

[0034] Optionally, an opening can be formed on the arc-shaped wearing body 1, and elastic connecting belts are respectively connected to the two ends of the arc-shaped wearing body 1 located at the opening to facilitate users to wear and adjust the arc-shaped wearing body 1, thereby ensuring the fit between the head and the arc-shaped wearing body 1.

[0035] Optionally, the arc-shaped wearing body 1 can be clamped on the head area corresponding to the brain area to be detected, so that the probe supporting pad 2 can be moved along the arc-shaped wearing body 1 to the brain area to be detected under manual operation of the user.

[0036] Optionally, the arc-shaped wearing body 1 may include multiple arc-shaped bodies, and the probe support pad 2 can move along the arc of the arc-shaped body. The multiple arc-shaped bodies can be independent of each other so that the probe support pad 2 can move smoothly along any arc-shaped body. The multiple arc-shaped bodies can also cross each other, so that the arrangement layout of the probe support pad 2 can be more reasonable.

[0037] Optionally, both the transmitting probe and the receiving probe can be detachably installed in the probe installation hole 3 , and the transmitting probe and the receiving probe are respectively arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the probe installation holes 3 .

[0038] Optionally, the probe support pad 2 can be made of a deformable material with a certain hardness to ensure the fit between the probe support pad 2 and the head, as well as the structural strength of the probe support pad 2 itself, so as to stably install the transmitting probe and the receiving probe. For example, the probe support pad 2 is made of a material such as hard cloth, rubber, etc.

[0039] Optionally, the shape of the sheet-like hexagonal probe supporting pad 2 may be a hexagon, specifically a regular hexagon.

[0040] The above-mentioned head cap has a relatively simple structure, low structural setting cost, and can be convenient for combing cables. It is particularly suitable for small equipment and is convenient for moving small equipment, such as moving equipment from research laboratories and medical rooms to outdoor scenes. In addition, since the head sizes of subjects of different age groups vary greatly, the technical solutions of the prior art that require setting head caps of various specifications and sizes can reduce the number of specifications to be provided for the heads of subjects of different age groups. Specifically, the number of settings of the probe support pad 2 can be adjusted to adapt to the heads of subjects of different age groups.

[0041] Optionally, the near-infrared brain function imaging device using the above-mentioned head cap can be used in conjunction with a TMS device and / or an acupuncture device, and of course can also be used in conjunction with other treatment devices, and the present utility model does not make specific limitations on this.

[0042] In some embodiments, an acupuncture hole is provided between adjacent probe mounting holes 3, and the acupuncture hole is at least used to accommodate a treatment needle.

[0043] In this way, acupuncture and near-infrared brain functional imaging equipment can be used together through the acupuncture holes for placing treatment needles, so as to achieve the purpose of detecting the therapeutic effect of acupuncture through the near-infrared brain functional imaging equipment while performing acupuncture treatment.

[0044] Optionally, the acupuncture holes for accommodating the treatment needles may be provided in the spacing area formed between the transmitting probes and / or receiving probes installed on the adjacent probe support pads 2. In a preferred embodiment, the acupuncture holes may be provided at the corresponding positions of the detection channels formed by the transmitting probes and receiving probes of the adjacent probe support pads 2. By performing acupuncture at the corresponding positions of the detection channels, the acupuncture effects can be detected in real time by near-infrared brain functional imaging technology, so that the changes in the brain function status of the subject can be better understood, thereby adjusting the treatment plan. The setting position of the treatment needle is not specifically limited here, and the user can arrange it according to actual needs.

[0045] The utility model can realize that the probe supporting pad 2 drives the transmitting probe and the receiving probe installed thereon to flexibly move positions by using the probe supporting pad 2 movably arranged on the arc-shaped wearing body 1, so as to adjust the probe to the position corresponding to different brain regions, so as to achieve the purpose of flexibly adjusting the brain region that can be detected by the near-infrared technology, and different probe supporting pads 2 can have different shapes, such as sheet-like X-shape and sheet-like hexagonal shape, and probe supporting pads 2 of the same shape or different shapes can be arranged on the arc-shaped wearing body 1 in a coordinated manner, so that users can select probe supporting pads 2 of suitable shapes according to actual needs to install transmitting probes and receiving probes, so as to achieve the purpose of flexibly adjusting the detection brain region by using various combinations of probe supporting pads 2 of different shapes. It can adapt to users with different needs without customizing head caps, has high universality, is economical and practical, and can ensure the signal quality of the detection channel without the help of positioning sheets and silicone gaskets.

[0046] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the probe support pad 2 constructed in an X-shape has four probe mounting holes 3 arranged at the vertex corners, and the probe mounting holes 3 at adjacent vertex corners are respectively used to mount the transmitting probe and the receiving probe.

[0047] In this way, the distances between different types of probes installed on the four probe installation holes 3 can be stably maintained within a preset distance range, thereby ensuring that effective near-infrared data is detected.

[0048] Optionally, the four vertices of the above-mentioned sheet-like X-shaped probe support pad 2 are respectively used to install two transmitting probes and two receiving probes, and the probe installation holes 3 in the same column and row are installed with different types of probes, that is, the probe installation holes 3 in the diagonal directions are installed with the same type of probes. Thus, four effective detection channels can be formed between the probes installed on each sheet-like X-shaped probe support pad 2.

[0049] Optionally, the arc-shaped wearing body 1 can be installed in the middle of the sheet-like X-shaped probe support pad 2, and the sheet-like X-shaped probe support pad 2 can be installed by one arc-shaped wearing body 1. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the figure shows that a sheet-like X-shaped probe support pad 2 is installed through an arc-shaped wearing body 1. Of course, a sheet-like X-shaped probe support pad 2 can also be installed through multiple arc-shaped wearing bodies 1, and the utility model does not make specific limitations on this.

[0050] Optionally, a slider 21 may be provided on the side of the sheet-like X-shaped probe supporting pad 2 facing away from the head, and the sheet-like X-shaped probe supporting pad 2 is movably disposed on the arc-shaped wearing body 1 through the slider 21 .

[0051] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, multiple probe supporting pads 2 have a first arrangement mode, in which multiple sheet-like X-shaped probe supporting pads 2 are arranged at intervals on the arc-shaped wearing body 1, and an effective detection channel is formed between the transmitting probe and the receiving probe installed on the probe mounting holes 3 of adjacent probe supporting pads 2.

[0052] In this way, multiple effective detection channels can be formed by a plurality of probe support pads 2 arranged at intervals to meet the detection requirements of multiple brain regions.

[0053] It can be understood that two adjacent probe supporting pads 2 are respectively provided with a transmitting probe and a receiving probe that can be arranged in pairs. By adjusting the distance between the two adjacent probe supporting pads 2, the distance between the transmitting probe and the receiving probe located on different probe supporting pads 2 can be made within a preset distance range, so that an effective detection channel can be formed between the transmitting probe and the receiving probe located on different probe supporting pads 2.

[0054] Optionally, the arc-shaped wearing body 1 may be provided with a marking body to remind the user of the setting position of the probe supporting pad 2 through the marking body, so as to facilitate the user to set the installation position of the probe supporting pad 2, so as to ensure that an effective detection channel is formed between the probes installed on adjacent probe supporting pads 2.

[0055] In some embodiments, the maximum number of effective detection channels formed in the first arrangement is 6n-2, where n is the number of probe support pads 2. By making full use of each transmitting probe and receiving probe, the number of effective detection channels formed can be optimized, so that the near-infrared data detected by the near-infrared brain function imaging device can be more accurate.

[0056] For example, Figure 1 As shown, when the number of the probe supporting pads 2 is 6, the maximum number of effective detection channels formed in the first arrangement is 6×6-2, that is, 34 effective detection channels.

[0057] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the probe supporting pad 2 constructed as a sheet-like hexagon has six vertices, and the six vertices and the middle part of the sheet-like hexagonal probe supporting pad 2 are respectively provided with probe mounting holes 3, and the transmitting probes and receiving probes installed in the multiple probe mounting holes 3 are arranged in rows and / or columns, and the types of probes installed in the probe mounting holes 3 in adjacent rows and / or columns are different.

[0058] In this way, the six vertices and the middle part of the sheet-like hexagonal probe supporting pad 2 can be respectively provided with probe mounting holes 3, and the number of optimized effective detection channels can be achieved by arranging the transmitting probe and the receiving probe, so that more effective detection channels can be formed between the probes in adjacent rows and / or columns.

[0059] Optionally, the probes on the probe mounting holes 3 respectively arranged at the six vertices and the middle part of the above-mentioned sheet-like hexagonal probe support pad 2 can be arranged in three rows and five columns. Specifically, there are two probe mounting holes 3 in the first row and the third row, and the two probe mounting holes 3 in the first row and the third row are both probe mounting holes 3 corresponding to the vertices, and there are three probe mounting holes 3 in the second row, and the three probe mounting holes 3 include two probe mounting holes 3 corresponding to the vertices and one probe mounting hole 3 corresponding to the middle part, and the two probe mounting holes 3 corresponding to the vertices are respectively located on opposite sides of the probe mounting hole 3 corresponding to the middle part.

[0060] Optionally, the probes in adjacent rows and / or columns are staggered so that effective detection channels can be formed between different types of probes in different rows and / or columns. Thus, eight effective detection channels can be formed between the probes installed on each sheet-like hexagonal probe support pad 2.

[0061] Exemplarily, when the probes installed in the probe mounting holes 3 in the first and third rows are all transmitting probes, the probes installed in the probe mounting holes 3 in the second row are all receiving probes. At this time, the probes installed in the probe mounting holes 3 in the first, third and fifth columns are all receiving probes, and the probes installed in the probe mounting holes 3 in the second and fourth columns are all transmitting probes.

[0062] Optionally, the arc-shaped wearing body 1 can be installed in the middle of the sheet-shaped hexagonal probe support pad 2, and the sheet-shaped hexagonal probe support pad 2 can be installed by at least two arc-shaped wearing bodies 1. Figure 3 As shown, the figure shows that a sheet-like hexagonal probe supporting pad 2 is installed through two arc-shaped wearing bodies 1.

[0063] Optionally, two sliders 21 may be provided on the side of the sheet-like hexagonal probe support pad 2 facing away from the head, and the two arc-shaped wearing bodies 1 pass through the corresponding sliding grooves of the sliders 21 respectively.

[0064] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, multiple probe supporting pads 2 have a second arrangement. In the second arrangement, multiple sheet-like hexagonal probe supporting pads 2 are arranged on the arc-shaped wearing body 1 in an overlapping manner, and the probe mounting holes 3 on adjacent probe supporting pads 2 for mounting probes of the same type are arranged in an overlapping manner.

[0065] In this way, by adopting the second arrangement mode, the layout of the multiple probe supporting pads 2 on the arc-shaped wearing body 1 can be made more reasonable, and the connection relationship between the multiple sheet-like hexagonal probe supporting pads 2 can increase the stability of the structure.

[0066] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3The probe mounting holes 3 of the adjacent hexagonal sheet-like probe supporting pads 2 shown in the figure are arranged in a nested manner. Only one probe is installed on the nested probe mounting hole 3. An effective detection channel can be formed between the probe and the probes installed on the two adjacent probe supporting pads 2, thereby realizing the collection of near-infrared data.

[0067] Optionally, one or more probe mounting holes 3 may be overlapped between adjacent probe support pads 2 in the second arrangement. Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The number of the probe installation holes 3 overlapping each other shown in the figure is one. Of course, the number of the probe installation holes 3 overlapping each other can also be 3 or 4, and the probe installation holes 3 for installing the same type of probes can be arranged in an overlapping manner to achieve a variety of arrangements between adjacent sheet-shaped hexagonal probe support pads 2, meeting the user's various needs for adjusting the arrangement position of the probes.

[0068] In some embodiments, the maximum number of effective detection channels formed in the second arrangement is 8n, where n is the number of probe supporting pads 2.

[0069] For example, Figure 3 As shown, in the second arrangement, there is a probe mounting hole 3 nested between adjacent probe supporting pads 2, and the number of the sheet-like hexagonal probe supporting pads 2 is 2. At this time, the maximum number of effective detection channels is 8×2, that is, 16 effective detection channels.

[0070] In some embodiments, multiple probe supporting pads 2 have a third arrangement mode, in which multiple sheet-shaped hexagonal probe supporting pads 2 are arranged at intervals on the arc-shaped wearing body 1, and an effective detection channel is formed between the transmitting probe and the receiving probe installed on some probe mounting holes 3 of adjacent probe supporting pads 2.

[0071] In this way, the third arrangement mode can be used to increase the arrangement mode on the sheet-shaped hexagonal probe support pad 2, so as to realize various arrangement modes between adjacent sheet-shaped hexagonal probe support pads 2 and meet various needs of users for adjusting the position of the probe.

[0072] Optionally, the intervals between adjacent multiple hexagonal and / or X-shaped probe support pads 2 can be constructed as hair-moving spaces to facilitate users to move their hair aside to avoid hair blocking the near-infrared light emitted or received by the probe, thereby improving the accuracy of near-infrared detection results.

[0073] In some embodiments, the maximum number of effective detection channels formed in the third arrangement is 9n-1, where n is the number of probe supporting pads 2.

[0074] Exemplarily, when the number of the hexagonal probe support pads 2 in the third arrangement is 2, the maximum number of effective detection channels is 9×2-1, that is, 17 effective detection channels.

[0075] The embodiment of the utility model also provides a near-infrared brain function imaging device, including the head cap for the near-infrared brain function imaging device. The near-infrared brain function imaging device using the head cap can realize that the probe supporting pad 2 drives the transmitting probe and the receiving probe installed thereon to flexibly move positions through the probe supporting pad 2 movably arranged on the arc-shaped wearing body 1, thereby adjusting the probe to move to the position corresponding to different brain regions, so as to achieve the purpose of flexibly adjusting the brain region that can be detected by the near-infrared technology, and different probe supporting pads 2 can have different shapes, such as sheet-like X-shape and sheet-like hexagonal shape, and probe supporting pads 2 of the same shape or different shapes can be arranged on the arc-shaped wearing body 1 in a coordinated manner, so that the user can select the appropriate shape of the probe supporting pad 2 to install the transmitting probe and the receiving probe according to actual needs, so as to achieve the purpose of flexibly adjusting the detection brain region by using a variety of combinations of probe supporting pads 2 of different shapes.
