Description

Member for Protecting X-ray Detector and Kit for Protecting X-ray Detector Including the Member}

The present specification relates to an X-ray detector protective member and an X-ray detector protective kit including the same. Specifically, a protective member that can be easily attached to a side or edge of the X-ray detector to protect the detector, and a protective film or protective vinyl that includes the protective member and can prevent contamination and infection of the X-ray detector. It relates to an X-ray detector protection kit.

Detectors became particularly important as X-ray inspection equipment replaced with digital equipment. Detectors should be used on patients every x-ray, typically including scintillators, photodiodes, TFT flat panels and the like.

Although X-ray detectors are very expensive equipments, they are sensitive to damage due to impact, and there is always a concern about contamination and discharge due to secretions such as blood and sweat from patients at the hospital site. In particular, in case of using X-ray detector for the patients in the isolation ward, discomfort such as disinfection is great for each test. Moreover, once the X-ray detector is broken, repairs are virtually impossible, requiring a new purchase of expensive equipment.

Conventionally, there is a case for protecting a detector (for example, Patent Document 1), but even when using such a case, the detector, especially the scintillator, is still fragile and is frequently broken due to corner breakage, and is inconvenient to use. In addition, the case is mainly used to integrate with the detector, there is a high risk of contamination, infection, difficult replacement is also a problem.

On the other hand, there is a detector protective cover (for example, Patent Document 2), but the pressure-sensitive adhesive should be used, and the method of overlapping several sheets is also complicated and inconvenient and difficult to actually use.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an X-ray detector protective member according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the X-ray detector protective member (or protective device) 100 of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a main body 110 and the main body 110 made of a flexible and shock-absorbing elastic material. It includes a clamp 120 mounted to at least one side of the 110 preferably both side end areas.

In a non-limiting example, the main body 110 is open on one side, for example a cylindrical shape, the detector may be fitted to this open portion. As will be described later with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, since the main body 110 is flexible, the side of the detector may be mounted in a straight line shape, and the main body 110 may be mounted to be bent in correspondence with a corner shape. Accordingly, the detector can be easily attached or detached to any position.

In a non-limiting example, the material constituting the main body 110 may be made of an elastic material such as a rubber material that is light, flexible, and shock absorbing. The main body 110 is preferably an antimicrobial coating.

In a non-limiting example, the clamp 120 covers both ends of the main body 100 while clamping the protective member to the X-ray detector. The clamp 120 may have the following configuration, for example.

That is, clamp 120 may, for example, comprise a metal piece 124 that is cylindrical and wraps around the main body and one or more handles 125 connected to the metal piece 124. At this time, it is preferable that the handles are two handles which are respectively connected at both upper and lower sides of the metal piece to face each other. That is, since the two handles 125 connected to the metal piece 124 extend outward from the main body, the two handles preferentially touch the floor during the drop and absorb the impact to protect the detector. The handle 125 may also be made of a metal material and may be connected to the metal piece 124 through the connection part 123 on one side.

In addition, the cover 123 may be equipped with a rubber cover, for example, to minimize damage to the detector when clamping by the metal piece of the clamp 120. The other side of the handle 125 may be provided with a buffer cover 122, for example a rubber cover to give a buffer role.

In a non-limiting example, the clamp handle 125 is particularly preferably provided with a spring buffer 121 that serves as a suspension for shock absorption. As an example, the spring buffer 121 has an internal rod 121b and a coil spring 121a surrounding the outside thereof. The rod 121b is configured to be movable into the rod accommodating portion 121c for accommodating the rod, which may be located before or after the rod upon pressurization due to the impact. This spring buffer 121 can maximize the cushioning role with the other structural features of the handle as described above when the detector is dropped and impacted.

In an exemplary embodiment, the clamping strength of the clamp should be strong enough so that the detector does not fall out during clamping but should be less than the breakage limit strength of the detector panel.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing that an X-ray detector protective member is attached to an edge of an X-ray detector in another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is an X-ray detector protection in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. It is a schematic diagram showing that the member is attached to the side of the X-ray detector.

As shown in FIG. 2, since the main body of the X-ray detector protective member is a flexible material, the main body of the X-ray detector protective member may be mounted on the edge of the detector 200 to be bent to correspond to the shape of the edge to cover the edge.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the main body of the protection member may be mounted in a straight line on the straight side of the detector 200.

On the other hand, in the exemplary embodiments of the present invention, at least one or more of the aforementioned protective member; And a protective film or protective vinyl which covers or surrounds one or both surfaces of the detector and can be clamped and fixed by the clamp of the protective member. In this case, the protective film or the protective vinyl preferably includes a scintillator portion, which is a portion that is mainly in contact with the human body, to cover the protective film.

Since the protective film or the protective vinyl can be clamped and fixed together with the detector to the clamp of the protective member, the protective vinyl or the protective film can be easily attached and detached just as the protective member itself is easily attached and detached, so that it is convenient to use. do.

In a non-limiting example, the protective film or protective vinyl is preferably used for single use and is replaced after every X-ray examination. Due to this need for disposable or replacement after inspection, the protective film or protective vinyl should be easily removable, as described above the protective member clamp can provide this function. On the other hand, when the size of the protective film or the protective vinyl becomes larger, such as the detector surface size, carrying and use becomes inconvenient. Therefore, the protective film or the protective vinyl is preferably a stretchable material so that it may be small in size before being attached to the detector and then stretched during attachment (see FIG. 4) so as to be convenient for single use. In addition, it is preferable that the stress is small, for example, 15 MPa or less or 12 MPa or less so as to be easily drawn by the user's hand. As a material which can be extended | stretched, polyolefin resin can be used, for example.

In addition, even if there is a protective member, even in the case of a very severe impact may be damaged to the front of the detector, it is more preferable to have a certain thickness or elasticity to absorb the impact on the protective film or the protective vinyl itself. For example, the protective film or protective vinyl may be made of a laminate of resins, but the laminate may include an air bubble layer to absorb shocks.

4 is a schematic view showing an X-ray detector protective member and an X-ray detector equipped with an X-ray detector protective film or protective vinyl in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4a is a view before attaching a protective film or protective vinyl 4B is a schematic view showing a state in which a protective film or a protective vinyl is bitten and attached by a clamp of a protective member.

As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the stretchable protective film or protective vinyl 300 is placed on the detector 200 and stretched, and then the stretched protective film or protective vinyl is fixed by the clamp of the protective member 100. Can be. 4A and 4B, the protection member 100 is described as being mounted at all four corners of the X-ray detector, but the protection member 100 does not necessarily need to be mounted at the corner portion, but may be mounted at the side, and the protection. It is sufficient to be able to clamp the film or protective vinyl.

On the other hand, at least one of the protective member, the protective film and the protective vinyl is preferably to be antibacterial treatment.
