Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the medical field, in particular to a head positioning frame. Background Art

[0002] Gamma knife is a combination of stereotactic technology and radiosurgery technology. It focuses the radiation source on the patient's lesion, so that the lesion tissue near the focus is irradiated with the maximum dose, and the normal tissue is irradiated with a transient low dose, thereby killing the lesion and protecting the normal tissue, achieving the purpose of radiotherapy. With the development of radiotherapy technology, more and more people are pursuing precision radiotherapy, which can reduce the damage and side effects to the patient's normal tissue. Precision radiotherapy needs to reduce errors in all aspects, such as positioning error, setup error, planning error, equipment operation error, etc. Among them, the largest error is the positioning and setup error. The head positioning frame is used to fix the patient's position. Some of the existing head positioning frames use head nails. Although the positioning accuracy is high, it is an invasive method, which causes damage to the patient and inconveniences in life during treatment; some non-invasive positioning frames cannot accurately locate the head coordinates, resulting in large errors and affecting the accuracy of treatment.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new non-invasive head positioning frame to achieve the purpose of precise radiotherapy by solving the problem of accurate positioning of patients. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the background technology, the utility model provides a head positioning frame to realize the treatment needs of non-invasive and accurate positioning of the head, improve the accuracy of radiotherapy equipment, reduce damage to patients, and achieve the purpose of precise radiotherapy.

[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is: the utility model is a head positioning frame, which is special in that: the head positioning frame comprises a front frame and a rear frame, the front frame and the rear frame are connected by a connecting rod, a top marking plate is arranged between the tops of the front frame and the rear frame; a right marking plate is arranged between the right sides of the front frame and the rear frame; a left marking plate is arranged between the right sides of the front frame and the rear frame, and scales are arranged on the top marking plate, the right marking plate and the left marking plate respectively.

[0006] Furthermore, sleeves are arranged on the right marking plate and the left marking plate respectively.

[0007] Furthermore, there are four sleeves, which are symmetrically arranged in pairs up and down.

[0008] Furthermore, N lines are provided on the top marking plate, the right marking plate and the left marking plate.

[0009] Furthermore, there are three N lines, two of which are horizontally arranged at the top and bottom of the marking plate, and one is obliquely arranged in the middle.

[0010] Furthermore, a scale is arranged on the top of the front frame.

[0011] The utility model provides a head positioning frame, which realizes the treatment demand of non-invasive and accurate positioning of the head through N-line arrangement and sleeve setting in multiple directions of the positioning frame and marking with a positioning ruler, improves the accuracy of radiotherapy equipment, reduces damage to patients, and achieves the purpose of precise radiotherapy. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of the utility model;

[0013] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the "N" line of the marking plate of the utility model;

[0023] 4) Dip the tip of the positioning ruler into the marking ink, insert it into the head positioning frame through the sleeve 7 on the right marking plate 5 and the left marking plate 6 to mark the patient's head, and record the scale degree of the ruler for use when resetting;

[0024] 5) CT / MRI localization imaging scan;

[0025] 6) Reset during treatment: The patient lies down on the positioning bed first, install the head positioning frame on the positioning bed, insert the positioning ruler into the sleeves on the right marking plate 5 and the left marking plate 6, and slightly move the patient so that the tip of the positioning ruler coincides with the head mark. Record the scale value of the ruler and compare it with the corresponding recorded value during the first positioning CT / MRI, so that the error does not exceed 0.5mm. If the deviation is too large, continue to slightly move the patient's body to make the deviation within the required range.

[0026] 7) After the reduction is completed, remove the head positioning frame and start treatment.

[0027] The technical contents not specifically described in the present utility model and the above embodiments are the same as the prior art.
