Description

Shielding device for breast radiotherapy

Technical Field

The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, especially, relate to a shielding device for mammary gland radiation therapy.

Background

Cancer radiotherapy is a local treatment method for treating tumors by using radiation, about 70% of cancer patients need radiation therapy in the process of treating cancer, and about 40% of cancers can be cured by radiation therapy. The role and position of radiotherapy in cancer treatment are increasingly prominent, and the radiotherapy has become one of the main means for treating cancer.

However, the scattered radiation shielding apparatus currently used in clinical practice is generally used for radiation detection and diagnosis, and there are few shielding apparatuses specifically used for radiation therapy, and the radiation energy, dose distribution, and patient position for examination diagnosis and radiation therapy are different, so that it is difficult to directly apply the shielding apparatus used in radiation diagnosis to radiation therapy.

Moreover, radiation therapy is often directed to a part of body organs and the like of a lesion, and before being irradiated by radiation, doctors can define an irradiation target area, thereby determining the range and the dosage of required irradiation, and limiting the range and the dosage of normal tissues and organs so as to avoid injuring healthy tissues and organs by mistake. However, since the patient is exposed to radiation therapy without protection, there are high demands placed on the physician and the equipment in order to avoid the radiation damaging healthy tissues and organs by mistake. In addition, among cancers which can be treated by radiation, breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in women in China, but many patients only suffer from unilateral breast lesions, and organs such as mammary gland, thyroid gland, eyeball lens, ovary and the like of breast cancer patients are sensitive to rays, and scattered rays can possibly influence the breast cancer patients, especially the ovary parts, and because the breast cancer patients are gradually younger, the protection of the ovary is of great significance to the normal life and the fertility of the patients in the future. Therefore, there is a need for a good technical means to protect healthy body parts of a patient undergoing radiotherapy from the scattering of the radiation of the radiotherapy.

Fig. 1 to 2 show a shielding device for breast radiotherapy, which includes a shielding clothes 1 for wearing on a patient, the shielding clothes 1 includes a neck region 11, a pectoral region 12 and a waist and abdomen region 13 connected in sequence, the neck region 11 and the waist and abdomen region 13 are in a complete ring shape, the neck region 11 is used for providing ray shielding for the face and the neck to protect the lens of the eyeball and the thyroid gland; the waist-abdomen area 13 is used for providing ray shielding for the waist-abdomen area 13 so as to protect the ovary; the complete annular shape of the neck region 11 and the lumbo-abdominal region 13 may provide protection from various angles.

Two ends of the chest-lung area 12 are respectively connected with the face-neck area 11 and the waist-abdomen area 13, an opening 121 is arranged on the chest-lung area 12, and the opening 121 is used for exposing a single-side mammary gland. The opening 121 may expose a single breast for radiation treatment and the other breast may be protected.

Therefore, the shielding clothes 1 in the scheme can be used for radiotherapy of unilateral mammary gland, the other side of the mammary gland and the radiation-sensitive parts such as eyeball lens, thyroid and ovary can be protected in the treatment process, accidental injury caused by scattered radiation is avoided, and the shielding clothes can be used repeatedly. Even if the precision of the irradiation target area and the radioactive instrument defined by the doctor is limited, the healthy part can not be injured, the requirements on the operating doctor and the equipment are reduced, and the cost of radiotherapy is reduced.

As a preferable scheme of the thoraco-lung area 12, the thoraco-lung area 12 includes a main body 122, the opening 121 is disposed on the main body 122, the main body 122 is further provided with a collar 123 and a single-sided cuff 124, and the opening 121 is disposed between the collar 123 and the lumbar-abdominal area 13. The collar 123 is used for being sleeved on the neck of a patient, so that the upper part of the shielding clothes 1 can be conveniently fixed; the single-sided cuff is used to extend the hand on the side that covers the breast, and the opening 121 exposes the breast on this side and facilitates the extension of the other hand.

In terms of the specific shape and location of the opening 121, the opening 121 is disposed on both the front and back sides of the thoraco-lung region 12, and since it may be the right or left breast that requires radiation therapy, the opening 121 is disposed on both the front and back sides to facilitate the front and back wearing of the garment to expose the right or left breast. Or for manufacturing convenience, the mode of forming two openings 121 on the front surface and the back surface is not adopted, but the opening 121 is directly and circumferentially extended from the middle part of the front surface of the chest-lung area 12 to the back surface, the structure is simpler to manufacture, and the range of the opening 121 is larger, so that the chest-lung area can be suitable for the sizes of patients with different body types. Dimensionally, the perimeter of the opening 121 occupies half of the perimeter of the thoraco-pulmonary region 12, such that the opening 121 begins at the middle of the opening 121 on both the front and back sides, and conforms to the bilateral breast structure of the human body.

As a preferable scheme of the facial neck region 11, the facial neck region 11 includes an eye shielding region 111 and a neck shielding region 112 which are connected with each other, and the neck shielding region 112 is connected with the thoracic lung region 12. The eye surface shielding region 111 is used for shielding the eyes and the face below the eyes of the patient and preventing rays from affecting the lens of the eyeball; the neck shielding region 112 is used for shielding the neck and preventing rays from affecting the thyroid.
