Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically a neck brace for thyroid examination. Background Technology

[0002] Thyroid CT scan is an important medical imaging technique that uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to generate detailed images of the thyroid gland, providing doctors with high-resolution cross-sectional images to clearly observe the structure of the thyroid gland and any pathological changes.

[0003] Currently, during thyroid CT scans, patients often experience discomfort due to the lack of effective neck support, making it easy for them to turn their heads or move their bodies. Furthermore, the thickness and density of the neck tissue above the thyroid gland differ significantly from that of the shoulder tissue below. These two factors contribute to artifacts in the thyroid region, affecting test results. Therefore, a neck brace for thyroid examinations is needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content
