Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary device technology, specifically a protective garment for breast CT scans. Background Technology
[0002] Breast CT scan is a high-resolution imaging method that uses X-rays and computer technology to generate three-dimensional images of the breast. It can clearly display glandular structure, microcalcifications, and masses through tomographic imaging, making it particularly suitable for women with dense breast tissue. This technology, through multi-angle image reconstruction, helps doctors more accurately locate lesions, assess tumor morphology, and the extent of invasion into surrounding tissues, making it valuable for early breast cancer screening and preoperative evaluation. However, during the examination, X-rays can easily irradiate other parts of the patient, potentially causing damage to those areas.
[0003] In the prior art, Chinese patent CN202505327U discloses a breast examination and treatment garment, which has a main body made of radiation-proof material, two breast examination and treatment openings on the chest of the main body, a cover plate connected below each breast examination and treatment opening, and nylon buckles at the upper end of the cover plate and above the breast examination and treatment opening. This utility model has a simple structure, is flexible and convenient to put on and take off, reduces the exposure of women during breast examinations and treatments, protects other non-exposed parts of the body from radiation damage, respects women's privacy, and allows women to fully enjoy the examination and treatment.
[0004] Protective suits are commonly used to protect patients, but existing protective suits have the following problems:
[0005] Since breast CT scans are generally performed with the patient lying prone, the coverslip in existing technology tends to wrinkle when pressed under the patient, affecting the examination. Existing protective gowns are designed to be relatively loose to accommodate patients of different body types, but when the patient lies prone, the loose protective gown will bunch up in front of the chest, affecting the examination results.
[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a protective garment for breast CT scans to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0007] This invention features opposing protective curtains with Velcro closures on their surfaces. When one curtain is open, it can be secured to the other, preventing it from interfering with the inspection process. This completes the invention.
[0008] This utility model provides a protective garment for breast CT scans, including a protective garment body 1. The protective garment body 1 has two chest openings 2 at the chest position. A protective curtain is provided on the chest openings 2. One side of the protective curtain is fixed in the middle of the two chest openings, and the other side is a movable side with a second zipper 5. A first zipper 4 is provided on the side of the chest opening 2 away from the other chest opening 2. The first zipper 4 and the second zipper cooperate to fix the protective curtain. The protective curtain includes a first protective curtain 4 and a second protective curtain 6. The outer surface of the first protective curtain 4 is provided with a Velcro surface, and the outer surface of the second protective curtain 6 is provided with a Velcro barbed surface. Since breast CT scans are performed alternately, when the first protective curtain 3 is opened, it can be attached to the second protective curtain 6 to examine the chest opening 2 below the first protective curtain 3, which can be performed alternately.
[0009] Furthermore, a tensioning tube 7 is provided on the back of the protective clothing body 1. The tensioning tube 7 is fixed at both ends and open in the middle. A tensioning rope 8 is provided inside the tensioning tube 7. The tensioning rope 8 is fixed at both ends of the tensioning tube 7. A tensioning rope fixing plate 9 is provided at the middle opening of the tensioning tube 7. The length of the tensioning rope 8 inside the tensioning tube 7 can be adjusted to adjust the width of the protective clothing body 1, so that the protective clothing body 1 fits the patient's body more closely and avoids it from piling up and affecting the patient's examination.
[0010] Furthermore, the tensioning pipes 7 are provided in two sections, respectively located on the back and waist of the protective suit body 1.
[0011] Furthermore, the tension rope fixing plate 9 includes a hollow fixing plate body 901, on which two rope holes 902 are provided. Inside the fixing plate body 901, a spring 903 and a pressing plate 904 are provided. The spring 903 is fixedly installed inside the fixing plate body 901, and the other end of the spring 903 is connected to the pressing plate 904. The free end of the pressing plate 904 extends out of the fixing plate body 901. A pressing block 905 is provided on the pressing plate 904. The pressing block 905 squeezes the tension rope 8 in the rope hole 902 to form a relatively fixed position. After the pressing plate 904 is pressed, the pressing block 905 releases the squeezing of the tension rope 8 in the rope hole 902.
[0012] Furthermore, the protective clothing body 1 and the protective curtain are made of radiation-proof material.
[0013] Furthermore, the first zipper 4 and the second zipper 5 are made of plastic to avoid affecting the machine's operation during CT scans.
[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the protective clothing for breast CT scans provided by this utility model has the following technical advantages:
[0015] This utility model provides a protective gown for breast CT scans. It features opposing opening and closing protective curtains with Velcro closures on their surfaces. When one curtain is open, it can be secured to the other, ensuring a secure fit and preventing it from interfering with the examination. Two tensioning tubes 7 are installed on the back of the gown body 1 to adjust its width, allowing patients of different body types to wear the gown snugly and preventing it from bunching up and affecting the examination results.
[0016] Other features and advantages of this invention will be described in detail in the following detailed description section. Attached Figure Description
