[0002] With the continuous advancement of science and technology, people are paying more and more attention to the health of pets. In the field of modern medicine, small animal CT scanner is an important technological innovation that provides a window into the health of pets. Small animal CT scanner is a non-invasive imaging device that can provide detailed images of the inside of the pet's body by using X-rays and computer processing technology. Compared with traditional X-ray examinations, CT scanners can generate tomographic images that show the precise structure of organs, tissues and bones in the pet's body, helping doctors make more accurate diagnoses and treatment decisions.

[0003] When using a small animal computer tomography scanner, the animal usually needs to be anesthetized to minimize the interference of autonomous movement on the image quality. Although the anesthetized animal basically does not move autonomously, its limbs need to be fixed and the abdomen is fully exposed to reduce interference factors. However, the mechanisms for fixing the limbs on existing tomography scanners for detecting living small animals are mostly fixed and cannot be adjusted well. It is not convenient to fix the limbs of animals of different sizes, and the practicality is poor. In this regard, we propose a small animal live tomography device. Utility Model Content
