Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical auxiliary equipment technology, and in particular relates to a support cushion for radiological diagnosis. Background Technology
[0002] During imaging examinations, patients sometimes need to raise their hands above their heads and hold them still. However, current examination equipment only provides a headrest or head pillow, leaving the hands unsupported and unsecured. This prolonged position not only causes discomfort but also affects the examination results. In contrast-enhanced scans and angiography, contrast agents are typically injected intravenously through the elbow or back of the hand using a high-pressure injector. High-pressure injectors deliver high pressure and rapid flow, and some patients have poor vascular elasticity and low cooperation; for example, bending the elbow or making large movements can easily lead to contrast agent extravasation, harming the patient's physical and mental health. Furthermore, during MRI, crossing the patient's hands can create an electrical circuit, causing a sensation of electric shock, such as numbness or mild limb twitching, and in severe cases, even burns. Therefore, developing a device that can effectively support and stabilize the patient's head and arms simultaneously, ensuring examination accuracy while reducing patient discomfort and potential injury risks, is crucial. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This utility model provides a support cushion for radiological diagnosis, which aims to solve the problem that existing headrests for radiological diagnosis do not provide support for the hands during use. When performing examinations, the patient's hands can only dangle on both sides of the head, which not only causes discomfort to the patient but also affects the examination results.
[0004] The present invention is implemented as follows:
[0005] A support cushion for radiological diagnosis includes a cushion body, and a headrest and an arm support platform disposed on the cushion body;
[0006] The headrest is located in the middle of one side of the cushion body; the arm support platform is located on the cushion body around the headrest.
[0007] The headrest includes a first raised portion, a second raised portion, and a headrest space formed by the first raised portion and the second raised portion;
[0008] During use, the user's head is located within the headrest space, and the user's arms are placed on both sides of the head and rest on the arm support platform.
[0009] Preferably, the lower end of the cushion body is the end of the cushion body closest to the headrest, and the arm support platform is located at the left, right and upper ends of the cushion body.
[0010] Preferably, the thickness of the lower end of the cushion body is lower than the thickness of the upper end of the cushion body. More preferably, the arm support platforms on both sides of the headrest are lower at the front and higher at the rear, which provides support when the patient needs to raise both hands while preserving shoulder space.
[0011] Preferably, the headrest space is designed to conform to the physiological curvature of the human head and neck. This headrest space, designed to conform to the physiological curvature of the neck, allows the user's head and neck to be comfortably fixed and held in a neutral position.
[0012] Preferably, arm guards are provided on both sides of the arm support platform. The arm guards on both sides prevent the hands from moving around, ensuring the effectiveness of the inspection.
[0013] More preferably, the arm guard is two L-shaped arm guards arranged opposite each other. The L-shaped arm guards allow the user to keep the arm straight during the lifting and placing process, with the space between the first raised part, the second raised part and the L-shaped arm guards opposite each other, thus preventing the hand from extending outward and touching the instrument, and also preventing the arm from crossing.
[0014] The arm support platform allows the user to separate their hands and keep their arms straight during the examination, reducing the adverse effects that may occur due to crossed arms during MRI examinations, reducing the incidence of contrast agent extravasation, and ensuring the safety and smooth progress of the examination process.
[0015] Preferably, the lower starting end of the arm guard has a reserved lower end space between it and the lower end of the soft pad body; the lower end space will not obstruct the arm when the user raises the arm. More preferably, the lower starting end of the arm guard is flush with the upper ends of the first raised portion and the second raised portion.
[0016] Preferably, the soft pad body is provided with a fixing component, which is at least one of Velcro or snap fastener; the fixing component is fixed to the examination bed board and will not slide during use.
[0017] In one embodiment, when the fixing component is Velcro, the Velcro is disposed on the back of the cushion body. The Velcro secures the radiological diagnostic support cushion to the examination bed board below, preventing slippage.
[0018] In another embodiment, when the fixing component is a snap fastener, the snap fastener is disposed on the lower end surface of the cushion body, and the snap fastener matches and engages with the examination bed board to fix the radiological diagnostic support cushion.
[0019] Preferably, the cushion body is made of a hard material; the headrest and the arm support platform are made of soft materials; the radiological diagnostic support cushion is made of soft but strong materials to ensure patient comfort and safety.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0021] This utility model discloses a support cushion for radiological diagnosis, used to support the patient's head and arms during CT or other radiological diagnostic examinations. The support cushion includes a headrest and arm support platforms. The headrest conforms to the physiological curvature of the neck, comfortably fixing the patient's head and neck in a neutral position. The arm support platforms on both sides of the headrest are lower at the bottom and higher at the top, providing support when the patient needs to raise their hands while allowing shoulder movement through the lower open space. The arm guards on both sides prevent the hands from moving outwards, ensuring the effectiveness of the examination. The cushion body is fixed to the examination bed board below using Velcro or fasteners to prevent slippage. Furthermore, the support cushion is made of a soft yet strong material to ensure patient comfort and safety. This utility model's support cushion for radiological diagnosis, by providing stable and comfortable support, helps improve the accuracy of examinations and patient comfort.
[0022] The support cushion for radiological diagnosis of this utility model, through the matching setting of the first raised part and the second raised part of the arm support platform and the head support, allows the user to separate their hands and keep their arms straight during the examination, reducing the adverse effects that may be caused by the crossing of arms during the MRI examination, reducing the incidence of contrast agent extravasation, and ensuring the safety and smooth progress of the examination process.
