BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cassette holder which can be installed on a wheelchair while a patient is sitting.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When a patient in a wheelchair performs X-ray imaging, it is often difficult to get off and use an upright imaging table.

[0003] When performing X-ray imaging of the chest and abdomen while sitting in a wheelchair, an "X-ray imaging apparatus" disclosed in "Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-1 04290" and a Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-70299 are disclosed. Do you need a dedicated table or wheelchair, for example, using the `` photography carrier '' shown? Or, the assistant assists the patient in holding the cassette inserted between the patient's back and the back of the wheelchair, or photographs on the wheelchair seat It is a common practice to take a picture by setting up a raising stand to the height of the part and setting up a cassette.

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, when a patient in a wheelchair is subjected to, for example, X-ray imaging of the chest, the care of the patient is prepared, the patient is moved from the wheelchair to the bed, and the danger of falling during the movement. It takes a lot of time and trouble. In addition, when performing X-ray photography while sitting in a wheelchair, the above-mentioned dedicated radiography table and wheelchair must be prepared, and when holding the cassette by hand or placing a raising table, Attention should be paid to the risk of exposure to the assistant and the displacement of the cassette.

[0005] The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned inconvenience, and it is possible to perform X-ray imaging of the chest and abdomen without the patient getting out of the wheelchair and without the assistance of a caregiver or a photographing assistant. Another object of the present invention is to provide a cassette holder to which a cassette that enables X-ray imaging of the chest and abdomen, which does not require a dedicated imaging table or a wheelchair, can be mounted.

[0006]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a holder for holding a cassette between a patient back and a backrest of a wheelchair without a patient in a wheelchair getting off, and fixing the holder. Shooting is possible by inserting the slider together with the guide pillar supporting the slider. According to the second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the first aspect, the cassette is provided with a feature that the vertical position of the cassette can be changed by a slider while the patient is sitting, so that the chest and abdomen can be photographed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view showing a use state of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view of a cassette holder according to the present invention, FIG. 3 is a front view, and FIG. 4 is a rear view. FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing a vertical mechanism and a holding mechanism. The cassette 10 is set on a portion of the holder 4 formed in a U-shaped cross section provided on the lower edge thereof, and the upper body of the patient 16 is tilted slightly forward so that the back of the patient 16 and the back of the wheelchair 17 can be moved. The device of the present invention is inserted from the pedestal 5 in which both ends of the lower end of the guide column 3 are bent in the same direction in a “F” shape. At this time, the device can be installed without falling from the gap between the seat surface of the wheelchair 17 and the backrest by the pedestal 5. Reference numeral 6 denotes a rubber cap.

At the center of a back plate 13 attached to the back of the guide column 3, a slit 7 is provided in the vertical direction. A guide 12 attached to the slider 1 moves up and down along the slit 7 freely. At this time, the size of the portion of the guide 12 protruding from the back plate 13 is larger than the width of the slit 7, and the slider is not detached from the guide column by the holding plate 2 and the holder 4 on the front surface.

When the knob 11 of the index plunger 15 attached by the boss 14 on the upper part of the back plate 13 is pulled and held, the fitting between the positioning hole 9 formed on the back surface of the slider and the tip pin 18 of the index plunger 15 is disengaged. The slider 1 moves up and down freely, and the holder 4 also moves up and down. When the knob 11 is opened when the cassette 10 is located at the height of the imaging region, the cassette 10 can be held near a desired height by engaging the pin 18 with the positioning hole 9. At this time, if the distance between the positioning holes 9 is narrow, for example, if the distance is about 10 mm, the position can be held at a more desired position. However, in the case of chest and abdominal imaging, the positional accuracy so far is not required.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention does not limit the fixing method of the slider 1 so that the index plunger 15 may be replaced with a screw.

[0011]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, the inexpensive device of the present invention does not require an expensive dedicated radiographing table or wheelchair, and the cassette can be easily installed at the affected site while the patient is sitting in the wheelchair. The radiographer alone can perform X-ray photography without moving, without the help of a caregiver, and without exposure to the imaging assistant.
