Disclosed are an inertial-sensor-based wearable hemiplegia rehabilitation apparatus and a strap-down attitude algorithm. The inertial-sensor-based wearable hemiplegia rehabilitation apparatus mainly comprises an upper computer and an inertia measurement system. Inertia measurement units distributed on different body parts of a patient acquire attitude angle information of the patient moving, through inertial sensors; the attitude angle information is transmitted to the upper computer through a wireless transmission module; the upper computer tracks the rehabilitation training process of the patient in real time according to the attitude angle information of different positions. The invention further provides a strap-down attitude algorithm based on plane constraint. According to the method, a restraint plane is established according to previous-moment motion attitudes of a forearm and a postbrachium during moving, the restraint plane is used to restrain acceleration information, systematic self-restrained measurement is achieved accordingly, and angle measurement is better in stability and accuracy. The inertial-sensor-based wearable hemiplegia rehabilitation apparatus and the strap-down attitude algorithm have the advantages that accurate rehabilitation motion attitudes and accurate amount of motion can be provided according to conditions of the patient with hemiplegia, degree and times of completing each set of moves are recorded for the patient, and a function of simple evaluation on hemiplegia and treatment effect for the patient with hemiplegia is provided.

A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device and a control method thereof reduce the preparation time for MRI photographing a patient. A patient table has a transfer unit for moving a patient inside the magnet assembly. A fixing unit includes a signal transmitting unit for transmitting a signal such as an optical signal, an ultrasound signal or an RF signal. A signal receiving unit is installed on a diagnosis area of the patient or a radio frequency (RF) coil attached to a diagnosis area of the patient, and a patient position determination system calculates position information of the diagnosis area of the patient or the RF coil if the signal receiving unit detects a signal output from the signal transmitting unit when the transfer unit transfers the patient to inside the magnet assembly and to transfer the diagnosis area of the patient to an optimum photographic area inside the magnet assembly (i.e. the isocentre of the magnet assembly) based on the position information.

The present invention is a patient transfer apparatus capable of easily transferring a patient while causing minimal inconvenience to the patient when transferring the patient between a patient bed and a patient-moving bed, or between the patient-moving bed and various inspection apparatuses. The patient transfer apparatus of the present invention comprises: a transfer arm for moving a top movable board on which the body of the patient is supported; a transfer arm housing fixed on a patient-moving bed frame so as to move the transfer arm; and a side protector laid on a patient bed so as to serve as a guide rail for enabling the transfer arm to easily move over the patient bed. The patient transfer apparatus of the present invention enables the patient to simply lie on his / her side from a recumbent position such that the patient can be loaded or unloaded onto / from the patient-moving bed, thus minimizing inconveniences to the patient and easily moving the patient with fewer staff members. Further, the patient transfer apparatus of the present invention eliminates the necessity of separate external power and eliminates the necessity of installation and withdrawal of a separate auxiliary device to thus enable easy operation, and the apparatus of the present invention has a simple configuration and thus can be provided in an inexpensive manner.

The invention discloses a DR machine-based dual energy subtraction method. The method comprises the following steps of S1: obtaining a high-energy image and a low-energy image of an X ray with an exposure interval of 2s; S2: performing registration on the low-energy image by taking the high-energy image as a template to obtain a low-energy image which is not shifted relative to the high-energy image; and S3: performing logarithmic transformation on the high-energy image and the registered low-energy image, and performing subtraction processing and display. According to the method, the exposure interval of the ray can be prolonged to 2s; an improved registration method is adopted, so that the motion artifacts caused by patient moving, rotation, image brightness unconsistency, noises and the like are effectively corrected; and in the aspect of high and low-energy subtraction calculation, the high-energy image and the registered low-energy image are subjected to the logarithmic transformation, and the low-energy image is multiplied by an elimination factor to eliminate soft tissues or bone tissues, so that the calculation speed is greatly increased, and the calculation complexity and the computer memory demands are effectively lowered.

A patient moving equipment, which can move the patient without changing patient's pose by the interaction of the magic mattress and the moving body with each other; wherein the magic mattress is put on the stretcher, wheelchair or sickbed previously. Owing to the chain-type of magic mattress, the patient can sit or lie on the magic mattress, which can be bent by pulling up the magic sticks at certain locations of the magic mattress with the pulling hydraulic systems, so that, the patient's pose can be remained as the same when he or she will be moved with the present invention of the moving equipment. The banister, which is installed at the frame of the magic mattress, can be bent with the magic mattress at the same step and, the safety belt is installed at certain locations of the magic mattress so as to doubly ensure the security for the patient. The patient together with the magic mattress can be moved away right after leaving the stretcher, wheelchair or sickbed by the lifting hydraulic system. For meeting the length of the patient, who is lying on the sick bed, the extension slot can be stretched by the extension hydraulic system, which hangs with the pulling hydraulic hooks all over the length of the patient. The balance material is located at the bottom of the moving body is used to balance the moving body when it is loaded with the patient together with the magic mattress, however, the balance can be taken over if the moving body is mounted at a electric car or the wheelbarrow. If the moving body is mounted at the electric car or the wheelbarrow, it's not necessary to have an extra balance material to be carried with the moving body. The equipment for moving patient without changing patient's pose can be controlled by wire-control, remote-control or program-control systems. The equipment of which not only can move the patient without changing patient's post, but also can help the patient to take shower, change cloth, relax their legs or excise their feet on the ground, sit on the bedpan or water closet for crap, and it can help the patient to sit near by the dining table or write on the desk with their feet at the ground comfortably. From these wonderful functions said above, the present invention of The Equipment for Moving Patient without Changing Patient's Pose is really helpful to those patient's families, hospital's workers and the patients themselves.
