Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical auxiliary equipment technology, specifically relating to a body restraint structure for infant magnetic resonance imaging. Background Technology

[0002] Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a widely used non-invasive diagnostic method in clinical practice, playing a crucial role, especially in the diagnosis of diseases in infants and young children. However, infants and young children face several challenges during MRI examinations. First, infants and young children need to remain still during the examination, which typically lasts 10-20 minutes and generates relatively high noise levels, potentially waking them from light sleep and affecting the accuracy of the results. To keep infants still during the examination, sedation is usually required. However, when performing MRI scans on areas such as the abdomen, infants need to raise their hands above their heads to minimize interference from their arms on the imaging area. Since infants cannot control their limbs while asleep, adult assistance is required to maintain this posture. However, the limited space in the MRI machine's magnet aperture makes it difficult for adults to assist infants in maintaining this posture, increasing the complexity of the procedure and potentially affecting the smooth progress of the examination. Therefore, this invention proposes a body restraint structure for infant MRI, which can help infants maintain a stable posture during MRI examinations while reducing the need for adult assistance, thereby improving the safety and accuracy of the examination.

[0003] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a body restraint structure for infant magnetic resonance imaging, comprising a torso support rod, a restraint seat fixed to the outer side of the torso support rod, the torso support rod and the restraint seat being symmetrically arranged, two symmetrical restraint seats being connected together, and a restraint recess being provided at the connection point, a connecting rod being fixed to one end of the torso support rod, one end of the connecting rod being connected to the torso support rod, and an arm support rod being rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting rod via an insertion method, a fixing structure being provided between the torso support rod and the arm support rod, an arm pad being fixed to the outer side of the arm support rod, and an adjustable strap being sewn onto the surface of the arm pad.

[0005] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the thickness of the limiting support gradually decreases from one side to the other side.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the fixing structure includes a hand-tightening bolt and a threaded hole, the threaded hole being opened at the end of the connecting rod, and the hand-tightening bolt and the threaded hole being compatible.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a headrest is fixed to one end of the limiting recess near the arm support rod.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the limiting support, the body support rod, and the arm support rod are all made of PVC material.

[0009] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By adding an arm structure design, this invention reduces the difficulty for adults assisting infants in maintaining a specific raised arm posture, lowers the operational complexity for medical staff, and improves work efficiency. The design of the arm pad and adjustable strap makes the infant's arm placement more comfortable, reducing discomfort during the examination. Simultaneously, the slope design of the limiting support avoids pressure on the infant's body. By restricting the infant's body movement, it reduces image blurring or double images caused by unconscious movement during sleep, allowing the infant to maintain a stable posture during the examination, thereby improving the efficiency of MRI examinations.

[0015] Example

[0016] Please see Figure 1-2This utility model provides the following technical solution: a body restraint structure for infant MRI, including a torso support 1, a restraint support 2 fixed to the outside of the torso support 1, the torso support 1 and the restraint support 2 being symmetrically arranged, the two symmetrical restraint supports 2 being connected, and a restraint recess 3 being provided at the connection point, a connecting rod 4 being fixed to one end of the torso support 1, one end of the connecting rod 4 being connected to the torso support 1, and an arm support 5 being rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting rod 4 via a plug-in connection, a fixing structure being provided between the torso support 1 and the arm support 5, an arm pad 6 being fixed to the outside of the arm support 5, and an adjustable strap 7 being sewn onto the surface of the arm pad 6. In this embodiment, the improved design simplifies the operation of adults assisting infants in maintaining their posture, improving work efficiency. The arm pad 6 and the adjustable strap 7 ensure the comfort and restraint performance of the infant. The design of the restraint support 2 avoids body compression, restricts the movement of the infant, reduces image blurring, and improves the efficiency of MRI examination.

[0017] In order to limit the pressure on the infant's body and prevent discomfort, in this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the thickness of the limiting support 2 gradually decreases from one side to the other.
