Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of scanning auxiliary devices, in particular to a nuclear magnetic resonance scanner. Background Art

[0002] Since primates and humans have 75-98.5% homology in DNA, their physiological structure, system organization and other biological characteristics are very similar to those of humans. Therefore, primates are often used as substitutes for humans in scientific research, such as crab-eating macaques. In scientific research, nuclear magnetic resonance imaging is usually used to study the mutations and early lesions of animal organs, such as arthritis of the knee joint. Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging is a means of structural analysis of physical phenomena. It scans animals with a scanner and presents them in the form of images for analogy with humans. The nuclear magnetic resonance imaging of crab-eating macaques takes 60-80 minutes. The crab-eating macaque needs to remain motionless during the examination, otherwise the accuracy of the examination will be affected. In the existing scanning of crab-eating macaques with arthritis, in order to prevent the crab-eating macaques from moving around during the examination, sandbags are usually tied to the monkeys' legs after the crab-eating macaques are anesthetized to fix the lower limbs of the crab-eating macaques. However, this fixation method has certain defects. On the one hand, tying up the monkey will increase the monkey's discomfort and make it more likely to cause unconscious movements. On the other hand, the sandbag fixation cannot deflect the angle of the monkey's knee joint well. For this reason, we propose a nuclear magnetic resonance scanner. Utility Model Content

[0010] In some embodiments, a tension spring is disposed in the sleeve, and two ends of the tension spring are respectively fixedly connected to the sleeve and the second shaft to drive the sleeve to slide into the second groove.

[0011] In some embodiments, the multiple C-tubes are arranged in groups of two to fix the thighs and calves of the macaque, and the multiple groups of C-tubes are symmetrically designed to fix the two legs of the macaque, respectively. The deflection rods are also provided in plurality.

The C-shaped tube 2 is slid, and the deflection rod 42 is slid at the same time to adjust the C-shaped tube 2 to a suitable position, so that the monkey's thigh and calf can be placed in the two C-shaped tubes 2 respectively. Since the C-shaped tube 2 is inclined compared to the ground, the monkey's legs can be placed on the C-shaped tube 2 without worrying about falling. After the relative position of the C-shaped tube 2 and the deflection rod 42 is adjusted, the sleeve 52 is rotated and slid until the sleeve 52 slides into the second groove 51 to align the deflection rod 42. The length of the deflection rod 42 is fixed at one end, and the other end is used to slide the fixing plate 54 to the slot three 53 to fix the angle of the deflection rod 42. One end fixes the deflection angle of the deflection rod 42, and the other end fixes the length of the deflection rod 42, so as to fix the two C-tubes 2. Then, the C-tubes 2 are covered on the monkey's legs, and the two C-tubes 2 are tied with the restraint belts 3. The C-tubes 2 are grouped in pairs to clamp the monkey's thighs and calves, so as to firmly fix the monkey's lower limbs, and can easily adjust the angle of the monkey's knee joint, so as to facilitate the observation of arthritis and subsequent research and treatment.
