Description

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 (은 出 症) is a spinal disorder 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 escapes and is called Herniated Nucleosus Pulposus. 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 treatment of disc disease because it provides traction to the intervertebral discs or removes or reduces compression on the discs. Therefore, a traction device that implements traction therapy is intended to provide traction upwards to the waist with the patient's posture fixed to relieve tension and pressure on the disc. Return to cure disc.

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are described in detail in the specifications of patent applications Nos. 96-970 (notice 98-156901) and 97-23566 (unpublished).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.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a transport carrier of an image diagnosis apparatus equipped with a traction device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in Figure 1, the transport carrier of the image diagnosis apparatus provided with the traction device of the present invention is largely the base 10, the bed 20, the first towing belt 31 and the second towing belt 32 for the main portion And the towing belt 52 for the neck, adjusting means for adjusting the traction angle, and traction force generating means. First, the base 10 guides the patient lying on the couch 20, which requires imaging of the affected part, to the inside of an imaging device M such as a magnetic resonance imaging machine (MRI) or a tomography camera (CT). A table 11 is mounted on the upper portion of the table 11, and rails 12 are formed on both sides of the upper surface of the table 11, respectively. Since the base 10 is well known, a detailed description of its structure and operation is omitted here.

The bed 20 is installed on the upper surface of the table 11 as a place where the patient lies for imaging. Sliders 21 are formed on both sides of the bottom surface of the needle 20, and are coupled to the rails 12, thereby allowing front and rear slides. The engaging pins 22 are formed on both sides of the portion where the patient's head is located, and the mattress 25 is placed on the couch 20. The headrest 26 is installed on the upper side of the mattress 25, the buttocks butt 27 and the leg rest 28 are located below the mattress 25, respectively.

In addition, the first tow belt 31 and the second tow belt 32 is worn by a patient lying on the couch 20 for the treatment of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation due to the traction force, the first tow belt 31 is It is worn on the chest, and the second tow belt 32 is worn on the pelvis of the patient. At this time, the second tow belt 32 is provided with a connecting string 33 provided with a ring 34 on both sides is hooked to each of the locking pins 22 of the needle 20. On the other hand, referring to Figure 7, the towing belt 52 is worn by a patient lying on the bed 20 for the treatment of cervical intervertebral disc herniation.

Next, the traction angle adjusting means and traction force generating means for applying traction to the patient wearing the first traction belt 31 and the second traction belt 32 or the traction belt 52 will be described. First, the traction angle adjustment means is to pull the second traction belt 32 or the traction belt 52 at a predetermined angle to suitably apply traction to the spine of the disk patient. This is because the spine of the human pelvis is not parallel to the couch 20 and is usually curved approximately 25 degrees upward. Therefore, an appropriate traction angle should be set according to the patient's body shape and the shape of the spine. The adjusting means for adjusting the traction angle in this way is composed of a pole 40, a roller 42, a traction cord 43 in the present embodiment.

First, the pawl 40 is detachably fixed to the leg side wall of the patient of the couch 20, and a plurality of height adjustment holes 41 are formed. And the roller 42 is installed in any one of the plurality of height adjustment holes 41 formed in the pawl 40 in order to set the traction angle according to the patient's body shape and the shape of the spine.

On the other hand, the tow strap 43 is wound on the roller 42, one end is fixedly connected to the second tow belt 32 or tow belt 52, the other end is connected to the actuator 44 for generating a traction force. At this time, the roller 42 in which the tow strap 43 is wound is adjusted to its installation position such that the tow strap 43 is about 25 ° with respect to the needle 20. That is, since the roller 42 is installed at a suitable place among the plurality of height adjustment holes 41 formed in the pawl 41, the angle of the tow string 43 is appropriately adjusted.

The actuator 44 performs the function of pulling the second towing belt 32 or the towing belt 52 by pulling the tow strap 43 by, for example, generating a towing force using the motor as a driving source. . Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, the actuator is used to provide the traction force, but the actuator is just one example, and various well-known traction force means may be applied.

The operation of the transfer carrier of the image diagnosis apparatus provided with the traction apparatus according to the present invention will now be described.

The transport carrier of the image diagnosis apparatus provided with the traction device according to the present invention is to provide a disk patient visually to quickly and easily understand the therapeutic effect of the disc herniation due to the traction force and the surgical decision of the doctor. That is, the disk patient is photographed because the spine is photographed through the photographing apparatus after applying the traction force while wearing the first belt 31 and the second belt 32 or the traction belt 52 provided on the couch (20) Through the application of the traction and after applying the traction will be able to visually clearly check the state of the spine.

Looking at the photographing process, as shown in Figure 2 or 7 disk patient first photographed without wearing the first tow belt 31 and the second tow belt 32 or the neck tow belt 52 for the main part. The image is taken through the device M. As a result of the photographing at this time, as shown in the left side of Figs. 5A and 5B, a picture of the nucleus protuberance is obtained. Therefore, the disk patient can also directly see the protuberance of the nucleus, it is easy to know their disk disease state.

On the other hand, after the shooting is finished without wearing the first tow belt 31 and the second tow belt 32 or the tow belt 52 to apply a traction as shown in Figure 3 and 4 or 7 The first tow belt 31 and the second tow belt 32 or the tow belt 52 is worn in the state of photography. That is, the disk patient is lying on the couch 20 while wearing the first tow belt 31 and the second tow belt 32 or the tow belt 52, at this time, so that the spine of the disc patient is fully extended 2 The towing belt 32 or the towing belt 52 is towed by the driving force of the actuator 44, and the towing strap 43 is about 25 with respect to the couch 20 by the pawl 40 and the roller 42. It is adjusted at an angle of ° (see FIGS. 3 and 7). At this time, when the first tow belt 31 and the second tow belt 32 are worn, a buttock supporter 27 is inserted between the mattress 25 and the buttocks of the patient to assist the towing angle, and the legs are bent and the leg rests are supported. Over (28). Thereafter, traction is repeatedly applied to the spine.

Therefore, the vertebrae fully extended by the application of the traction force is out of the vertebrae as shown on the right side of FIGS. 5A and 5B by the action of the first tow belt 31 and the second tow belt 32 or the tow belt 52. The protruding nucleus pulposus returns to its original position. On the other hand, when spine imaging is performed while the first tow belt 31 and the second tow belt 32 or the tow belt 52 are worn, the nucleus nucleus is actually returned to its original position as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B. You will get a photograph taken back. Therefore, the disc patient is treated with intervertebral disc herniation due to the traction force through each picture, that is, the state of wearing and not wearing the first tow belt 31 and the second tow belt 32 or the tow belt 52. You will clearly see the effect. In addition, even when the traction force is applied, if the pulmonary nucleus does not return to the original position of Figs. 5a and 5b and can not be treated by the traction treatment method can be determined that the treatment should be performed by surgery at this time .

Meanwhile, in another embodiment of the present invention as shown in FIG. 6, the needle beds 20a and 20b which are separated into two needle beds 20 may be installed on the table 11. When dividing the needle into two, the inner needle 20b is fixed to the inside of the photographing apparatus M and the outer needle 20a is movably positioned. This is inconvenient to use the buttock 27 to repeatedly instruct the patient to lift the buttocks slightly in order to pull the patient at a predetermined angle in the state that the bed 20 is not moved in the above embodiment, If the bed 20a can be moved to a certain degree by separating the dog, such inconvenience is eliminated.

The above-described embodiment is merely an example of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and may be appropriately changed within the scope of the same idea.

As described above, the present invention includes a needle slide on the transfer carrier, and the needle includes the first tow belt and the second tow belt, the towing angle adjusting means, and the towing force generating means. The spine in a state of wearing a belt and a state of not wearing the belt can be easily taken continuously. Therefore, it is possible to clearly identify the wearing state and the non-wearing state of the intervertebral disc escape treatment effect by the traction through the photograph.
