JPS5910976Y2 - breast x-ray table - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an X-ray imaging table used in the treatment and diagnosis of breast diseases such as breast cancer or breast cysts.

The X-ray photographs necessary for these treatments and diagnoses show all the necessary parts without deformation, but this type of X-ray photographing table conventionally used has a compression plate or compression tube. etc., and images are taken while compressing the breast from the top and bottom or from the left and right.

Therefore, the breast becomes deformed and its naturalness is lost, which may not allow for the best possible imaging and may lead to misdiagnosis, but also has disadvantages such as pressure on the affected area during imaging, which may cause discomfort to the patient. .

This invention was created in view of these circumstances,
The purpose is to provide a breast X-ray imaging table that allows the best natural imaging without compressing and deforming the breasts or causing discomfort to the patient.

The present invention was developed to achieve this purpose by attaching a stand on which the upper body is placed to a column whose height is adjustable, and disposing a film holder at the position where the notch abuts, so that the free end of the film holder is A breast X-ray photographing table is characterized in that a curved portion is formed near the upper end so as to face downward. The breasts hang down under their own weight at the appropriate position in front of the film holder, and can be photographed in their natural state without being compressed.

Next, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the illustrated embodiment. Reference numeral 1 denotes a leg section extending in all directions, a column 2 whose height can be adjusted is attached to the leg section, and a platform on which the upper half of the body is placed on the upper end of the column. Install 3.

This table has a substantially rectangular plane and has a notch 4 formed on one of its long sides, and a film holder 5 is attached to the abutment position 4a of the notch so as to hang downward.

The upper surface of the table 3 described above is covered with a material that provides a certain degree of cushioning properties and is comfortable to the touch.

Casters 6 and stoppers 7 are attached to the lower ends of the legs 1, allowing them to move freely and stabilizing the stand in a predetermined position.

A handle 2a is attached to the pillar 2, and the height can be freely adjusted by this handle.

As shown in FIG. 2, the film holder 5 consists of a substrate 5a and a movable plate 5b, each of which has curved portions 5C, 5 near the upper end so that their free ends face downward.
d, the upper ends of both are connected like a hinge, and a movable plate 5
b is open to the substrate.

A breast-shaped cutout 5e is formed in the movable plate 5b, so that when the light-shielding and sealed film 8 is sandwiched between the movable plate 5b and the substrate 5a, the film 8 can be seen through the cutout 5e.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a holder for holding the substrate 5a and the movable plate 5b in a supported state when the film is sandwiched between the two.

The use of the photographing stand of the present invention having the above structure will be explained with reference to FIG.
d, hold the drawing board with the holder 9, place it on the stand 3 so as to cover the upper body, face the notch 4 of the breast to be photographed, and move the movable board 5b.
The side of the human body, that is, the arrow 1
An X-ray photograph is taken by projecting X-rays from the zero direction.

When a photograph is taken in this manner, the breast is placed in a hanging state at the appropriate position on the film 8, and since no pressure is applied, the photograph can be taken in its natural state without deformation, resulting in an accurate photograph. To eliminate misdiagnosis, etc., and not to cause discomfort to the patient due to pressure.

In addition, when changing the photographing angle, for example, when photographing from above, the remaining protrusions 3 on both sides can be removed by forming the notches 4.
Place your elbows on a and 3b, cover your upper body on the table 3, face the breast to be photographed in the cutout 4 as above, place it in a suspended position in the cutout 5e, and lift your head. Images are taken by projecting X-rays from the head side.

In any case, images can be taken without compressing the breasts,
Moreover, the upper part of the film holder 5 is curved, and since the film is inserted beyond this curved part, it is possible to take a clear picture of the base of the breast.

As explained above, the breast X-ray imaging table according to the present invention is
The structure is such that the table on which the upper body is placed has a cut-out section, and a film holder is provided at the bottom of this cut-out section, so that the breast to be imaged is placed in a hanging state within the cut-out section, and the breasts cannot be photographed in the same way as in conventional methods. It does not put any pressure on the patient and can take pictures in a natural state, which not only results in accurate photographs, but also has excellent effects such as not causing discomfort to the patient.
