Detailed Description

In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the following description will make clear and complete descriptions of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

In some of the flows described in the specification and claims of this application and in the foregoing figures, a number of operations are included that occur in a particular order, but it should be understood that the operations may be performed in other than the order in which they occur or in parallel, that the order of operations such as 101, 102, etc. is merely for distinguishing between the various operations, and that the order of execution is not by itself represented by any order of execution. In addition, the flows may include more or fewer operations, and the operations may be performed sequentially or in parallel. It should be noted that, the descriptions of "first" and "second" herein are used to distinguish different messages, devices, modules, etc., and do not represent a sequence, and are not limited to the "first" and the "second" being different types.

The technical scheme is mainly applied to a scanning scene aiming at thyroid tissues.

The inventor researches and discovers that thyroid cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the head and neck and endocrine system. Worldwide, the incidence of thyroid cancer continues to rise, becoming one of the most rapidly growing malignant tumors. The data show that thyroid cancer in China continuously grows at a speed of 20% per year, so that the development of an efficient and safe thyroid CT examination means has important clinical significance.

In the current thyroid gland detection scheme, a user is usually laid on a U-shaped detection bed as shown in fig. 1, and when the user is in a lying state and the detection bed is usually in a U-shaped structure, the user is in a state that the chest is concave inwards (also called a chest-containing posture), that is, a part of thyroid tissue of the user is located in a shoulder multi-bone structure, so that when a scanning ray circles to scan the neck region of the user, the generated scanning image has an artifact problem due to the shielding of the shoulder multi-bone structure, that is, the acquired scanning image has a poor quality problem.

Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the inventor proposes a posture adjustment device, which not only can effectively change the neck stretching degree of the user, but also can effectively stretch thyroid tissues of the user to the outside of the shoulder structure, thereby reducing the problem of artifacts in the subsequently generated scanned image.

In addition, through above-mentioned position adjusting device to stretching the neck of user to after the thyroid gland tissue of user reaches shoulder structure, can also reduce the thickness of thyroid gland tissue in the neck region, thereby reduce the radiation dose of follow-up scanning, avoid causing harm to user's thyroid gland tissue.

As a possible implementation scheme, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a body position adjusting device provided in an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 2, the body position adjusting device 1 is placed on a detection bed, where the detection bed may be a U-shaped detection bed or a planar detection bed.

The posture adjustment apparatus 1 includes a back plate 11, a head fixing member 12 for fixing a head, a neck supporting member 13 for supporting a neck, and a back supporting member 14 for supporting a back;

optionally, the back plate 11 is of a planar structure and is made of a material capable of penetrating through scanning rays, so that shielding of the back plate can be avoided, the problem that artifacts exist in subsequently generated scanning images can be reduced, and the accuracy of the subsequently generated scanning images is ensured. The back plate is placed on the detection bed, so that the situation that the chest of a user is in an inward concave state when the user is in a lying state due to the fact that the detection bed is of a U-shaped structure can be avoided.

The head fixing part 12 is located in a first area of the back plate, and the area where the head fixing part 12 is located in fig. 2 is the first area of the back plate 11. The head fixing component 12 is in a U-shaped protruding structure or an annular protruding structure and is used for fixing the head of a user, so that the problem of poor thyroid gland detection effect caused by left and right shaking of the head of the user is avoided.

In addition, the head fixing part is a high-density sponge body, so that the comfort level of a user lying on the posture adjusting device can be effectively improved. Alternatively, the head fixing member 12 may be made of a material such as slow rebound memory cotton, in addition to a density sponge, which is not limited in this application.

The neck support member 13 is located in the second area of the back plate 11, and in fig. 2, the area where the neck support member 13 is located is the second area of the back plate 11.

Optionally, the neck support part 13 is provided with a first inflation part and is connected with an inflation device 3, and the inflation device 3 is used for adaptively adjusting the inflation amount of the first inflation part according to the stress value of a user so as to change the neck stretching degree of the user; wherein the inflator 3 may be an air pump.

The back support member 14 is located in the third area of the back plate, and in fig. 2, the area where the back support member 14 is located is the third area of the back plate 11, and is connected to the neck support member 13.

Optionally, the back support part 14 further includes a second inflation part, the second inflation part is connected with the inflation device 3, and the inflation device 3 is further used for adjusting the inflation amount of the second inflation part according to the stress value of the user so as to stretch thyroid tissue of the user out of the shoulder structure.

Wherein the first inflation member may be in communication with the second inflation member or may be independently connected to the inflation device 3, as not limited in this application.

For example, as shown in fig. 3a and 3b, after the user lies on the posture adjustment device, the posture of the user can be adjusted, that is, the head posture of the user can be adjusted to a head-leaning posture by the head fixing member and the neck supporting member, and the trunk posture of the user can be adjusted to a posture in which the chest protrudes outward (also referred to as a breast-straightening posture) by the back supporting member, so that thyroid tissue of the user can be effectively stretched out of the scapula.

According to the embodiment of the application, the head of the user can be in a backward leaning posture, and the trunk is in a posture that the chest is outwards protruded through the adjustment of the posture adjusting device, so that thyroid tissues of the user are effectively stretched out of the scapula. Such a device may provide better exposure and stretching of thyroid tissue for medical detection and treatment.

In the CT scanning process, the user needs to be provided with necessary radiation protection articles, and necessary shielding protection measures are adopted for sensitive organs or tissues adjacent to the irradiation field. However, in the traditional detection process, a position adjusting device is not arranged, so that part of thyroid tissues are at the tip of the lung and are not completely shielded, and a certain hazard exists. When the body position adjusting device can enable thyroid tissues to be completely exposed and stretched, the thyroid tissues can be completely covered by the protective clothing, and therefore the thyroid tissues can be prevented from being damaged.

Optionally, the back support part 14 is a boss structure, a vertical side wall of which is provided as an inclined wall inclined from bottom to top toward the inside thereof.

For example, as shown in fig. 4, the body position adjusting device may be replaced with a boss structure with a different height according to the trunk thickness of the user, so as to stretch thyroid tissue of the user out of the shoulder structure.

For example, the trunk of the user is thicker, so that the thyroid tissue of the user can be effectively stretched out of the shoulder structure, the back support component with higher height can be selected, and the corresponding relation between the trunk thickness and the back support components with different heights can be set according to experiments, so that after the trunk thickness of the user is determined, the back support components with different heights can be selected.

In this embodiment of the application, the position adjusting device can be adjusted according to user's truck thickness to replace the boss structure of co-altitude, in order to stretch user's thyroid gland tissue to outside the shoulder structure. Such adjustments may be made according to the physical characteristics and needs of the user to ensure proper stretching and exposure of thyroid tissue, providing better conditions and accuracy for detection and treatment by medical personnel. Through adjusting boss structure's height, can adapt to the user of different truck thicknesses to provide individualized position regulation effect. This helps to ensure proper position and degree of stretching of thyroid tissue during testing to obtain more accurate test results and more effective treatment.

As another possible implementation, fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of another body position adjusting device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 5, the body position adjusting device is different from the body position adjusting device shown in fig. 2 in that the body position adjusting device further includes shoulder adjusting members 15 for adjusting shoulders, the shoulder adjusting members 15 are located at both sides of the back supporting member 14, and the shoulder adjusting members 15 have a third air charging member and are connected to the air charging device 3.

Wherein, the inflation device 3 is used for adjusting the inflation amount of the third inflation component according to the stress value of the user so as to adjust the backward shoulder of the user.

That is, by adding the shoulder adjusting part 15 to the body position adjusting device, after the shoulder adjusting part 15 is inflated by the stress value of the user, the shoulder adjusting part 15 can buckle the shoulder of the user, assist the user in making the head and chest lifting and the shoulder sinking, and enable the shoulder and the neck of the user not to be in the same horizontal plane, so that thyroid tissues of the user are fully exposed.

In this embodiment of the application, after the user lies on the posture adjusting device, the inflation device responds to the control instruction of the control system to inflate the first inflation part and the second inflation part, and after the inflation volume reaches the stress value limit of the user, the inflation is stopped.

The stress value determining manner of the user can be determined by the following ways:

subjective feedback: the user may describe the degree of stress sensation in terms of self-sensation and comfort. They may use some scoring tool or scale to express their perception, such as a pain scoring tool (e.g., VAS, NRS, etc.) or a comfort assessment scale (e.g., 1-10 scale).

Physiological index: medical personnel can measure physiological indicators of the user to evaluate stress values such as muscle tone, electromyography, heart rate, etc. These indicators may provide objective measurements to determine the degree of stress on the user.

Force sensor: in some cases, a force sensor may be used to measure the degree of force a user is placed on the position adjustment device. The force sensor may be placed on a critical location, such as a neck support or back support, to measure the amount of force.

Depending on the specific application scenario and requirements, a suitable method may be selected to determine the stress value of the user. Medical staff should evaluate the stress situation according to the feedback and physiological indexes of the user and adjust the stress situation according to the needs to ensure the comfort and the safety of the user.

Further, the method further comprises:

603. in case of artifacts in the scanned image, the amount of inflation of the first and/or second inflatable members is adjusted, or the height of the back support member is adjusted.

Adjusting the height of the back support member: depending on the position of the artifact, the height of the back support member may be adjusted. By adjusting the height of the support members, the bow of the user's back may be changed, thereby potentially reducing or eliminating artifacts.

These adjustment measures aim at optimizing the quality of the scanned image and reducing the occurrence of artifacts. The medical staff should properly adjust the inflation amount and the height of the supporting part according to the specific situation and clinical experience. At the same time, the method should cooperate with medical imaging specialists to carry out necessary adjustment and optimization according to the requirements of scanning equipment and image acquisition parameters.

Through the technical scheme of the embodiment of the application, the inflatable volume of the body position auxiliary adjusting device and the height of the back supporting component are adjusted, so that the artifact is reduced, the comfort level is improved, and the personalized adaptation and the image quality are optimized.

Typically, the radiation dose is calculated from the tissue density and thickness of the scanned area. The following is one possible approach:

first, the average thickness of the thyroid tissue in the cervical region is calculated from the thickness data of the region in each scanned body position.

Then, based on medical knowledge and experience, the tissue density of thyroid tissue in the cervical region is determined. This may be obtained by reference to a database of known tissue densities or by making relevant medical measurements.

The radiation dose for each scanned body position is calculated from the average thickness and tissue density of thyroid tissue. Generally, the radiation dose is proportional to the tissue density and thickness.

It should be noted that the method of determining the radiation dose may vary depending on the particular CT scanning device and protocol. In practice, the radiation dose for each scanned position is typically calculated automatically using specific calculation algorithms and software. This ensures that the radiation dose is within an acceptable range to protect the patient.

Next, the user is placed on the scanning bed of the CT scanner and is assured that their neck region is within the scanning range.

The control system or operator is used to input corresponding scan parameters and scan position information so that the CT scanner can scan according to the required radiation dose.

The CT scanner begins to scan the neck region of the user and performs a corresponding radiation output based on the radiation dose for each scanned position. During scanning, X-rays pass through the neck of the user and interact with tissue to form a scanned image.

After the scanning is completed, the CT scanner sends the obtained image to a control system for processing and displaying. By appropriate image reconstruction algorithms and parameter settings, a high quality neck scan image can be obtained.

It is important to note that the reasonability and safety of the radiation dose and scan parameters are ensured.

In this way, attempts may be made to reduce or eliminate the effects of artifacts. The following is one possible approach:

first, the type and location of artifacts in the scanned image are determined. This may be determined by a medical professional observing and analyzing the image.

Depending on the type and location of the artifact, a determination is made as to which inflation component should be adjusted in its inflation volume. If the artifact is mainly present in the area above the neck, it may be necessary to adjust the amount of inflation of the first inflation member. If the artifact is mainly present in the region below the neck, it may be necessary to adjust the amount of inflation of the second inflation member.

And sending a corresponding adjusting instruction to the inflating device so as to adjust the inflating quantity of the selected inflating component. This may be accomplished by a control system or operator interface coupled to the inflator.

The inflation device adjusts the inflation amount of the first inflation component and/or the second inflation component according to the received adjustment instruction. This may be accomplished by controlling the associated mechanical or electrical components in the inflator.

The CT scan is re-performed to obtain an image of the adjusted inflation volume and artifact reduction effect. If desired, the adjustment and scanning can be performed multiple times until satisfactory results are achieved.

It should be noted that adjusting the inflation volume may require expertise and experience of a medical professional. In addition, the particular model and function of the inflator device can also affect the method and effect of adjustment. Thus, in practice, the guidelines and recommendations provided by the equipment manufacturer should be followed and the operation should be performed under the direction of a medical professional.

Further, the method further comprises: transmitting a second detection signal to the CT scanner to obtain the trunk thickness of the user; and determining a back supporting part with the corresponding height of the trunk thickness of the user, and determining whether to send prompt information according to the currently used back supporting part so as to prompt the replacement of the back supporting part.

In the embodiment of the application, during the scanning process, the second detection signal may be sent to the CT scanner to obtain the trunk thickness of the user. The height of the back support part that should be used can then be determined from the torso thickness. If the currently used back support member does not fit the torso thickness of the user, a notification message may be sent to prompt replacement of the back support member. The following is one possible approach:

a sensor or module for detecting the thickness of the torso is provided in the CT scanner. This sensor may measure the torso thickness of the user by sending a second detection signal.

During the scanning process, when the CT scanner receives the second detection signal, the CT scanner can measure according to the thickness of the trunk of the user. This may be processed and analyzed by the control system of the scanner.

The height of the back support part that should be used is determined according to the torso thickness of the user. There may be a plurality of back support members of different heights which are selectable to accommodate different thicknesses of torso.

If the currently used back support component does not match the torso thickness of the user, the CT scanner may send a prompt to alert the operator to replace the back support component. This prompt may be displayed on the operator interface by the scanner's control system, or may be notified by other suitable means.

It is important to note that it is important to ensure accuracy of torso thickness and proper fit of the back support members. The medical professional should select the appropriate back support member and ensure accurate measurement of torso thickness, depending on the patient's size and clinical needs. In addition, the particular signaling and prompting means may vary depending on the model and function of the CT scanner. Thus, in practice, the guidelines and recommendations provided by the equipment manufacturer should be followed and the operation should be performed under the direction of a medical professional.

In the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application, the first air charging component is inflated by controlling the air charging device, so that the stretching degree of the neck can be adjusted according to the needs and the physical condition of a user. This may provide for more personalized and comfortable position adjustment, making the scanning process more accurate and efficient. By controlling the inflation device to inflate the second inflation member, thyroid tissue of the user may be stretched out of the shoulder structure. This helps to avoid interference of thyroid tissue with shoulder structure, improving quality and accuracy of scanned images. By transmitting the first detection signal and acquiring the thickness of thyroid tissue in the neck region in a plurality of scanning positions transmitted by the CT scanner, thyroid tissue in different positions can be comprehensively evaluated. This helps to more accurately understand the condition and abnormalities of thyroid tissue, providing more comprehensive diagnostic information. From the thickness of thyroid tissue in the plurality of scanned positions, the radiation dose at each position can be determined. Therefore, the radiation dose can be adjusted according to specific conditions, so that radiation exposure to a user is reduced as much as possible, and the scanning safety is ensured. According to the radiation dose corresponding to each scanning position, a scanning image of the neck region of the user can be acquired. These images can provide detailed information of the neck structure and thyroid tissue, facilitating accurate diagnosis and treatment planning for the physician.

In summary, the neck stretching and thyroid tissue stretching are realized through personalized posture adjustment and control of the inflating device, and meanwhile, an accurate and safe neck region scanning image is obtained through multi-posture scanning and radiation dose optimization, so that the diagnosis accuracy and the clinical value are improved.
