Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical protection, and in particular to a CT protective device for patients. Background Technology

[0002] CT scanners use X-rays to penetrate the human body and obtain imaging data to provide diagnostic information. Therefore, when patients undergo CT scans, protective measures are needed for areas that do not require imaging. The current method involves placing a lead apron on the CT slide. The lead apron has flaps on both sides. When the patient lies down, the apron is pressed against the back to protect them, while the flaps cover the sides and front of the torso, effectively blocking X-ray penetration. However, this method has two problems: First, when the patient lies down and the lead apron is pressed tightly, if it shifts and needs adjustment, the patient has to get up from the lying position, which is very inconvenient for elderly patients or those with injuries, and may even cause them to fall off the CT slide. Second, for patients who need to scan multiple areas of the body, the areas that have already been scanned also need to be covered. The current device cannot be disassembled, so other covering devices must be found. Utility Model Content

[0026] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0027] Because the first protective component is slidably mounted on the scanning bed via a sliding assembly, when the patient lies down, the first protective component can be moved without getting up, so that it can be accurately moved to the position that needs protection. Furthermore, multiple first protective components can slide independently, effectively covering the torso parts of the patient that do not need to be examined.

[0028] To better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0029] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0030] Figures 1 to 5 According to this invention, a patient CT protective device includes:

[0031] The sliding assembly 1 consists of several sliding parts 11 disposed on both sides of the scanning bed and spacer elements 12 between the sliding parts 11. Existing protective clothing and similar structures are laid directly on the scanning bed and therefore cannot be moved after the patient lies down. The sliding assembly 1 of this invention can greatly reduce the friction between the protective part and the scanning bed. In this way, after the patient lies down, there is no need to get up. He only needs to move his body slightly to make room so that the protective part under his body can be moved.

[0032] Specifically, there are at least two sets of sliding members 11, with two members in one set located on both sides of the scanning bed. One set is equipped with a second protective member 3. The sliding member 11 facing the scanning bed has an inwardly recessed groove 111. The surface of the groove 111 that contacts the scanning bed is equipped with rollers 112 and balls 113. When the sliding member 11 slides, the two sides of the scanning bed can be regarded as tracks. Sliding along the tracks allows for easy loading and unloading without any changes to the scanning bed structure.

[0033] In some embodiments, a handle is provided on the outer side of the slider 11 to facilitate moving the slider 11.

[0034] More specifically, rollers 112 are provided on the contact surface between the groove 111 and the top of the scanning bed, and balls 113 are provided on the contact surface between the groove 111 and the side of the scanning bed. When this device is in use, the sliding member 11 is mainly subjected to force from top to bottom. Therefore, providing several rollers 112 can prevent damage to the scanning bed and extend the service life of the sliding member 11.

[0035] The function of the ball bearing 113 is to cooperate with the roller 112 to form a structure that is inserted into the scanning bed. The ball bearing 113 can be set in a manner similar to that of a ballpoint pen tip, that is, an elastic structure that can push the ball bearing 113 is set in the sliding member 11. In this way, when an external force is applied, the ball bearing 113 can move a small distance into the sliding member 11. This setting makes it convenient for the sliding component 1 to be installed on the scanning bed.

[0036] The sliding members 11 on both sides of the scanning bed are connected by a first protective member 2. Specifically, the first protective member 2 and the sliding members 11 are elastically connected. The purpose of this design is that when the patient lies down and presses the first protective member 2, the first protective member 2 will undergo slight deformation. This slight deformation will generate mutual traction force on the sliding members 11 on both sides, which may cause the sliding members 11 to get stuck on both sides of the scanning bed and be unable to slide. The elastic connection can offset this traction force through elastic deformation to prevent the sliding members 11 from getting stuck. One embodiment is as follows: Figure 4 The first protective component 2 has several rods that extend into the elongated hole formed by the sliding component 11. The elongated hole contains an elastic body made of plastic, which is used to push and pull the rods. The deformation range of the first protective component 2 varies depending on the pressure. However, during manufacturing, the first protective component 2 is made to be wider, so that there is always no gap between it and the second protective component 3, thus playing a protective role.

[0037] The sliding member 11 is detachably provided with a second protective member 3. The reason for detachably providing the second protective member 3 is, as mentioned in the background art, that after the patient completes a partial area scan, it is necessary to change the scanning position. The detachable second protective member 3 can be selectively installed at the position that needs protection, so that the protective member can function without the patient moving.

[0038] The second protective component 3 overlaps with the first protective component and is swayably mounted on the sliding component 11.

[0039] The second protective component 3 consists of an inner shielding layer and an outer molding layer. The shielding layer is soft and fixed to the sliding component 11. The molding layer is rigid and has a buckle. The buckle can be S-hooked. Compared with the existing structure based on lead apron, this solution can better restrain the patient's limbs and prevent the patient from reaching out or turning over during the movement of the scanning bed, thus affecting the examination results.

[0040] Since the second protective component 3 serves to protect the front of the torso, the second protective component 3 can be provided in each set of sliding components 11, or only a pair can be provided, and can be moved to different positions by being detachable; and by adjusting the width of the second protective component 3 and adjusting the number, a better protective effect can be achieved.

[0041] The spacer element 12 limits the minimum distance between the sliders 11 located on the same side. Optionally, the spacer element 12 is a non-metallic cylinder, which is located on the side of one slider 11 facing the sliding direction. When the spacer element 12 slides, the non-metallic cylinder is inserted into a corresponding fixing hole of another slider 11 for fixation. The purpose of this design is to control the spacing between the sliders 11 when there are multiple sets of sliders 11, thereby controlling the first protective member 2 so that it can be better flattened and wrinkles under the body can be reduced.

[0042] The first protective component 2 is made of a material that can block X-rays. Adjacent first protective components can be stacked on top of each other. The purpose of stacking is to ensure that there are no gaps in the protective area, but the stacked area will not be too large because of the presence of the spacer element 12.

[0043] In this invention, except for the requirement of partial X-ray shielding, all other materials used are non-metallic to avoid affecting X-ray imaging.
