Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary equipment, in particular to a simulated weight-bearing device for assisting magnetic resonance imaging of lower limb joints. Background Art

[0002] Radiological examinations are now widely used in clinical practice, especially in the lower limb joints, where they provide outstanding auxiliary diagnostic efficacy. These include digital radiography (DR), computer tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The soft tissue contrast of MRI is significantly better than that of DR and CT, and is particularly suitable for the observation of joint space, ligament, cartilage, muscle, and bone injuries.

[0003] The symptoms and signs of non-tumor-related diseases of the lower limb joints are often aggravated when weight-bearing and relieved when lying down. Common clinical symptoms include knee varus and valgus, flat feet, and arthritis. Due to various reasons, the articular cartilage is worn, the balance structure of soft tissue and bone joints is destroyed, and then the lower limb joints are deformed and the force line is abnormal, causing severe pain, limited movement, fractures and other risks. Therefore, clarifying the degree of cartilage wear and joint biomechanics under weight-bearing is the key to ensuring the subsequent formulation of treatment plans.

[0004] It is reported that the most advanced open MRI in the industry is now available abroad, which can image the spine and lower limb joints under the human body's weight-bearing state. However, due to factors such as the construction technology and cost of MRI equipment and actual clinical application scenarios, the country still mostly uses traditional magnetic resonance imaging equipment, that is, a combination of an image acquisition system and an examination bed, to examine the patient in the supine position. Its disadvantage is that it cannot truly reflect the anatomical structure and functional status of the bones, muscles and joints of the lower limbs of the patient under weight-bearing conditions. If MRI photography can be performed on patients under weight-bearing conditions or simulated weight-bearing conditions, this will greatly help the accurate diagnosis and treatment of non-tumor-related diseases of the lower limb joints.

[0005] CN109171798A discloses a lower limb simulated load-bearing traction device, which includes components such as a waist belt, a shoulder belt, a weight scale, a steel cable winch, and a foot pressure plate. It can fix the human body through the waist belt and shoulder belt and apply traction to the human body, and apply weight to the human body by adjusting the length of the traction steel cable. When the weight reading of the foot pressure plate matches the value of the patient standing on the weight scale of the same specification, the CT scan starts. CN116725568A discloses a CT system with a load-bearing simulation device, which includes components such as a CT inspection device, an inspection bed, various body wrapping belts, a pressure sensor, a traction device, and a control unit. It can automatically control and adjust the weight and position applied to the patient according to the patient's weight and body posture, so that the patient can simulate the physiological load state of the joints when standing in a comfortable lying position, thereby obtaining more accurate CT image data. CN219397311U discloses a horizontal lower limb weight-bearing simulation device and a CT radiography system. The device includes a seat, a pressurizing platform, an electronic scale and other devices. It can bind the patient through a safety belt and a traction belt, and operate the pressurizing platform to pressurize the patient's lower limbs, so that the simulated pressure can be intuitively viewed through the electronic scale value to meet the specific weight-bearing requirements. The above three existing methods all only mention CT imaging. CT can scan the lower limb joints or the entire length of the lower limbs under simulated weight-bearing conditions, and later obtain relevant data through image processing and analysis. However, due to the poor soft tissue contrast, large radiation dose, ease of operation, force size and force position accuracy and many other factors, DR is still used clinically for weight-bearing radiography of the lower limb joints or the entire length of the lower limbs and MRI for anatomical structure observation.

[0006] CN216417165U discloses an MRI simulated weight-bearing device, which simulates the pressure on the shoulder and the subsequent adjustment of the pressure on the shoulder during MRI scanning by setting components such as vertical plates, limit wheels, sleeves, support rods, card plates, shift plates and screw rods. However, although the above method takes into account the imaging principle and particularity of MRI, the device uses MRI compatible materials to reduce the impact of the device on the uniformity of the magnetic field, making MRI lower limb joint photography under weight-bearing state possible, but in the process of applying pressure to the shoulder, the force will be lost during the conduction process, the force applied to the lower limb joints is not accurate enough, and there is no fixation of the upper limbs and head and shoulders, resulting in poor limb stability of the patient during the examination.

[0007] Therefore, a simulated weight-bearing device that directly applies force to the lower limb joints remains to be developed to assist in magnetic resonance imaging of the lower limb joints. Utility Model Content

[0022] Furthermore, the movable vertical plate is provided with angle scale lines corresponding to the rotation of the rotating shaft.

[0023] Furthermore, the force-applying component is a nylon cylinder, which includes a fixed portion mounted on a mounting seat and a telescopic portion connected to a side of the force transmission plate facing away from the head-shoulder fixing module.
