Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to a portable head image axial scanning baseline display composite ruler. [Background technology]
[0002] The puncture positioning of cerebral hemorrhage, neuroendoscopic-assisted hematoma removal, and the design of craniotomy flaps are closely related to the outcome of neurosurgery. Accurate positioning can significantly improve the success rate of surgery, reduce unnecessary iatrogenic injuries and postoperative complications. Existing positioning technologies mainly include image-based neuronavigation systems and empirical incision line positioning technologies based on preoperative image reading by surgeons. Although the former has high accuracy, the navigation equipment is expensive, the operation is relatively complicated, and the operation time is increased. In addition, it is time-consuming and laborious to scan the navigation sequence thin-layer images separately, which limits the use of neuronavigation technology in emergency surgeries such as spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage, traumatic intracranial hematoma, and brain herniation caused by intracranial space-occupying lesions. At the same time, small local hospitals may not have the relevant equipment and application conditions. The latter is the most commonly used preoperative positioning and flap planning technology in clinical practice. The surgeon determines the surgical approach and incision line drawing by reading the film, combining his own anatomical knowledge and the internationally recognized cranial structure positioning method. This method is greatly affected by human subjective factors and may produce deviations due to the different knowledge reserves and clinical experience of the surgeon.
[0003] If the baseline of the image tomography can be displayed on the patient's body surface clinically, the doctor can accurately locate the scope and position of the intracranial lesion through the anterior and posterior boundaries and the upper and lower boundaries. At the same time, the maximum level required for hematoma puncture can be determined and the puncture and drainage path can be formulated. However, in actual clinical work, due to factors such as the patient's state of consciousness and cooperation ability, not all patients can perform cranial imaging scans based on the canthus-ear line (OM line) as the baseline. The surgeon cannot obtain the image scan baseline when reading the film. Even if there is an indicator in the lower corner of the image, it is not a surface projection line and cannot help the doctor guide the incision line drawing. Therefore, a simple, convenient and easy-to-operate tool is needed to easily, accurately and quickly convert the axial tomography baseline of the cranial image and its parallel lines into a surface projection on the head. [Summary of the invention]
[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a portable cranial image axial scanning baseline display composite ruler to realize the surface transformation display of the cranial image axial tomographic scanning baseline on the patient's head, and to guide the surgeon in preoperative positioning, craniotomy flap and surgical approach planning and design.
[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme.
[0006] A composite ruler for displaying a baseline of a cranial image axial scanning comprises a main ruler, a secondary ruler 1, a secondary ruler 2, an adjustable bolt 1, an adjustable bolt 2 and a hollow sliding track; the main ruler has an adjustable bolt 1 fixed at its upper end, the adjustable bolt 1 connects and fixes the secondary ruler 1 to the main ruler, the main ruler has a hollow sliding track, the sliding track has a movable adjustable bolt 2, the adjustable bolt 2 connects the secondary ruler 2 to the main ruler.
[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: the front of the main ruler is marked with a scale with a minimum unit of 1 mm, and a vertical intersection point between the main ruler and the auxiliary ruler is the starting point of the zero scale of the main ruler.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: the front side of the secondary ruler 1 is marked with a scale with the minimum unit of 1mm, and the vertical intersection point of the secondary ruler 1 and the main ruler is the starting point of the zero scale of the secondary ruler 1.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: the main ruler, auxiliary ruler one and auxiliary ruler two have the same width, and auxiliary ruler one and auxiliary ruler two are both located on the back of the main ruler. When in use, auxiliary ruler one and auxiliary ruler two are perpendicular to the main ruler, and the two auxiliary rulers are parallel to each other and attached to the patient's skin; when in the storage state, auxiliary ruler one and auxiliary ruler two overlap front and back on the back of the main ruler.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: the adjustable bolt 1 and the adjustable bolt 2 are completely identical in size, structure and function, and both are composed of a knob screw and a nut used in conjunction with the screw. The adjustable bolt 1 is composed of a knob screw 1 and a nut 1; the adjustable bolt 2 is composed of a knob screw 2 and a nut 2.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: the main ruler is provided with a hollow sliding track, and a movable adjustable bolt 2 is provided on the sliding track. When the adjustable bolt 2 is in a loose state, the auxiliary ruler 2 adjusts its relative position on the main ruler by sliding, and sets the vertical distance between it and the auxiliary ruler 1.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: the knob screw and nut are used in pairs, and can be loosened or tightened to adjust the pressure between the secondary ruler and the main ruler. When the adjustable bolt is loosened, the pressure between the secondary ruler and the main ruler is reduced, the friction is reduced, and the secondary ruler can rotate 360 degrees with the knob screw as the axis.
[0013] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] The utility model adjusts two knobs to make the auxiliary ruler one and the auxiliary ruler two perpendicular to the main ruler, thereby achieving mutual parallelism between the two, simulating two tomographic scanning baselines, and then using the outer canthus, zygomatic process and external auditory canal as body surface landmarks for positioning, so that the lower edge of the auxiliary ruler passes through the outer canthus or zygomatic process, and the upper edge of the auxiliary ruler two passes through the external auditory canal, and then reads the vertical distance (number of layers apart x thickness of each layer) between the scanning layer of the outer canthus or zygomatic process and the scanning layer of the external auditory canal on the image film, and sets the obtained value as the vertical distance between the two auxiliary rulers and fixes it. At this time, the straight line drawn by the two auxiliary rulers is the image scanning baseline.
[0015] When the knob screw is in the loose state, the two sub-rules can rotate arbitrarily with the knob screw as the axis. The second sub-rule can also adjust the relative position on the sliding track to set the distance with the first sub-rule. Therefore, the ruler can be used regardless of whether the operation involves the left or right side of the brain. When performing left-side brain surgery, the two sub-rules can be perpendicular to the main ruler to form an "F" shape. Conversely, when performing right-side brain surgery, the two sub-rules can be rotated 180° with the knob screw as the axis and then perpendicular to the main ruler to form a horizontally flipped mirror "F" shape. The axial scanning baseline of the skull image can be simply, quickly and accurately converted and displayed on the human body surface, which is beneficial to the design of the hematoma puncture point and craniotomy flap.
[0016] When the knob screw is in the loose state, the two sub-rules are rotated to the back of the main ruler, and sub-rule 2 slides to the end of the sliding track away from adjustable bolt 1. At this time, the main ruler and the two sub-rules overlap front and back. After tightening the knob screw, they are stored, taking up little space and being easy to carry. They can be stored in the pocket of a white coat and used at any time.
