Description

Transport Carrier of Image Diagnosis System with Traction System {A TRANSFERRING CARRIER OF IMAGE DIAGNOSIS MACHINE HAVING A TRACTION APPARATUS}

The present invention relates to an image diagnosis apparatus such as a magnetic resonance imager (MRI) or a computerized tomograpy (CT), and more particularly, to a transport carrier of an image diagnosis apparatus equipped with a traction device.

In general, intervertebral disc herniation (椎間 板 脫出 症) is a spinal disease called 'Disks (Disks)'. The disk disease is located between the spine and the spine, and the disk consists of the nucleus pulposus and the annulus fibrosus. In more detail, the disease, commonly referred to as disc disease, is a disease in which the nucleus prolapses, called Herniated Nucleosus Pulposus, and the cervical, thoracic and lumbar regions of the spine. Happens on disks.

This disk disease is caused by excessive load or external shock protruding the nucleus pulverizing the nerve root (神經 根), which causes not only low back pain (腰痛) due to nerve compression, but also causes pain in the lower body to which the nerve is connected. As a result, most disc patients are unable to live their normal daily lives.

Accordingly, many studies have been conducted on the treatment of disc disease. As a treatment for disc disease, surgical methods, bed rest and heat therapy, optical therapy, electrotherapy, traction therapy such as traction therapy, or drug therapy were mainly used.

Traction therapy, an example of dual physiotherapy, is the most common method of treating disc disease by providing traction to the intervertebral discs or by eliminating or reducing the compressive force applied to the discs. Therefore, the traction device for carrying out the traction therapy provides the traction upwards to the waist while fixing the patient's posture in order to relieve the tension and pressure applied to the disc, thereby returning the nucleus protruding by the traction to the original position. Treat.

Applicant has significantly improved the conventional method of applying the traction force after fixing the patient to the bed or chair, so as to move the body freely even when wearing a medical aid and does not interfere with daily life medical treatment Orthosis was developed. Medical aids that are free of such activities are described in detail in the specifications of patent applications Nos. 96-970 (notice 98-156901) and 97-23566 (unpublished).

However, there was a problem that the disc patient can not immediately visually check the treatment effect when the medical aid or similar medical aid for the treatment of intervertebral disc herniation invented by the present applicant. In order to accurately diagnose the symptoms of disc patients, the cervical or lumbar region of the spine is usually photographed using a CT or MRI device installed in a hospital. Likewise, in order to find out whether the treatment effect is effective by wearing a medical aid for the treatment of intervertebral disc herniation, it must be able to confirm whether the treatment by traction is effective.

CT or MRI device is a device that photographs the site to check the diseases of various parts of the body such as brain, nerve, heart, chest, pelvis, etc. Therefore, in order to confirm the effectiveness of the traction treatment, the patient should be photographed while wearing an intervertebral disc herniation aid. Accordingly, the disc patient had to prepare a separate medical aid to provide traction and had to face the shooting. In addition, in order to determine whether a doctor should perform surgery to treat a disk patient or physical therapy through traction treatment, spine photography with traction is essential. There is a problem that the shooting is not easy because the device for applying the traction force is not provided at all.

On the other hand, the disc therapy specialist also needed to explain visually to disc patients easily understand that the traction treatment method is actually excellent in recommending the traction treatment method to the disc patient.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, the object of the present invention is to wear a traction device for the treatment of intervertebral disc herniation, the vertebrae in the state of applying the traction to the spine and the state without wearing the traction device at various angles Not only can the disc patient visually confirm the effect of traction-driven intervertebral disc herniation, but also can quickly and easily determine whether the doctor will perform surgery for the disc treatment or physical therapy through the traction treatment. It is to provide a transport carrier of the image diagnosis apparatus provided with a traction device to enable it.
