이러한 크래들 고정수단(70) 역시 관용적인 수단으로 다양하게 구성할 수 있으며, 상세히 도시하지는 않았지만 예를 들어 크래들(50)의 하부에 다수의 바퀴를 구성하고, 웜보어(11)의 크래들 받침부위에 바퀴 간격에 맞게 홈을 각각 형성하여 크래들(50)이 웜보어(11)에 완전 진입하는 시점에서 크래들(50) 하부의 바퀴들이 홈에 빠져 고정될 수 있도록 하거나, 크래들(50)이 웜보어(11)에 완전 진입하면 록킹장치가 가동하여 크래들(50)을 고정해주고, 촬영이 끝나면 자동으로 록킹장치가 해제되도록 구성할 수도 있으며, 이외에도 크래들(50)의 웜보어 완전 진입시점에서 크래들(50)을 고정해주고, 촬영이 끝나면 그 고정위치를 해제할 수 있는 수단이면 어떠한 것이든 적용가능하다.These cradle fixing means 70 can also be configured in various ways by conventional means, for example, although not shown in detail to configure a plurality of wheels on the bottom of the cradle 50, the cradle support portion of the worm bore (11) The grooves are formed in accordance with the wheel spacing so that the wheels below the cradle 50 can be locked into the grooves at the time when the cradle 50 completely enters the worm bore 11, or the cradle 50 is a worm bore ( 11) the lock device is operated to completely enter the cradle 50 to fix the cradle 50, and may be configured to automatically release the locking device when shooting is completed, in addition to the cradle 50 at the time of full entry of the worm bore cradle 50 It can be applied to any means that can be fixed, and the means to release the fixed position after shooting.
이와 같이 구성된 상태에서 유방을 제외한 다른 부위를 촬영할 때에는 수치심이 들지 않으므로 베이스(20)의 위에 오픈된 형상의 일반적인 크래들(미도시)을 올려놓고, 그 위에 환자가 누워 촬영을 진행하면 된다.When photographing other parts except the breast in the state configured as described above, since the shame does not take place, a general cradle (not shown) of an open shape is placed on the base 20, and the patient lays thereon and proceeds to photograph.
그런데, 유방을 촬영할 때 오픈된 일반적인 크래들에 눕게 되면 수치심을 가질 수 있음은 전술한 바 있다.However, when lying on the common cradle opened when taking the breast has been described above can have shame.
본 발명은 이를 감안하여 베이스(20)와 별도로 이동체(40)와 그 위에 분리가능하게 얹혀지는 크래들(50)을 구비한 것으로, 유방촬영을 하고자 하는 환자는 상의를 탈의하고 이동체 위에 얹혀진 크래들(50)에 누운 상태에서 커버(51)를 덮어 외부에서 자신의 상체가 보이지 않도록 하게 되며, 이러한 상태에서 이동체(40)를 베이스(20)측으로 이동시키게 된다.In consideration of this, the present invention includes a cradle 50 that is detachably mounted on the movable body 40 and the base 20 separately from the base 20. The patient who wants to take a breast is detached from the top and the cradle 50 mounted on the movable body. Cover the cover 51 in the state lying in the state so that its upper body is not visible from the outside, in this state to move the movable body 40 to the base 20 side.
이동체(40)의 프레임(41)은 베이스(20)의 높이가 낮아진 상태에서 베이스(20)의 상부와 하부 사이에 끼워질 수 있는 높이가 되므로 이동체(40)가 끼워질 수 있도록 베이스(20)의 하부와 바닥면 사이에 연결되어 있는 각 실린더(31)를 수축시켜 베이스(20)의 높이를 낮추게 되고, 이러한 상태에서 이동체(40)를 베이스(20)의 측방으로 밀어 넣어주면 베이스(20)의 상부에 크래들(50)이 올려진 상태가 된다.The frame 41 of the movable body 40 is a height that can be fitted between the upper and lower portions of the base 20 in a state where the height of the base 20 is lowered, so that the movable body 40 can be fitted to the base 20. By reducing the height of the base 20 by contracting each cylinder 31 connected between the bottom and the bottom of the base, in this state push the movable body 40 to the side of the base 20 base 20 Cradle 50 is placed on the top of the state.
또한, 베이스(20)에 올려진 크래들(50)은 웜보어(11)의 피검사체 수용을 위한 공간과 수평상 동일 위치가 되므로 크래들(50)을 스캐너(10)의 웜보어(11) 내측으로 정확한 위치에서 밀어넣어 줄 수 있으며, 이동체(40)와 크래들(50)은 분리될 수 있도록 구성되어 있어 크래들(50)을 웜보어(50)의 내측으로 완전히 밀어넣으면 이동체(40)로부터 자동 분리될 수 있고, 크래들(50)이 웜보어(11)의 내부로 완전 진입하면 고정수단에 의해 크래들(50)의 위치가 고정될 수 있다.In addition, since the cradle 50 mounted on the base 20 is in the same horizontal position as the space for accommodating the subject of the worm bore 11, the cradle 50 is moved into the worm bore 11 of the scanner 10. It can be pushed in the correct position, the movable body 40 and the cradle 50 is configured to be separated so that the cradle 50 is completely pushed into the worm bore 50 to be automatically separated from the movable body 40 When the cradle 50 completely enters the worm bore 11, the position of the cradle 50 may be fixed by the fixing means.
크래들(50)을 웜보어(11)의 내부로 완전 진입시킨 후에는 이동체(40)를 베이스(20)로부터 빼내고, 커넥터(65)의 각 플러그(63)를 크래들(50)의 커버(51)와 베이스(20)의 일측에 형성되어 있는 각 소켓(62)에 삽입시켜주어 크래들(50)과 베이스(20)를 신호교환 가능하게 접속시켜주게 된다.After the cradle 50 is completely inserted into the worm bore 11, the movable body 40 is removed from the base 20, and each plug 63 of the connector 65 is removed from the cover 51 of the cradle 50. And it is inserted into each socket 62 formed on one side of the base 20 to connect the cradle 50 and the base 20 so that the signal exchange.
이때, 스캐너(10)는 그 자장 분포를 베이스(20)를 최대로 높인 상태로 세팅해놓게 되며, 이와 같이 하는 이유는 오픈된 형상의 일반적인 크래들을 사용하여 유방 이외의 다른 부위를 촬영할 때와 본 발명에 따른 이동체(40) 및 크래들(50)을 사용하여 유방을 촬영할 때 모두 스캐너(10)를 통한 자장 분포가 일정해지도록 하여 항상 고품질의 영상을 얻을 수 있도록 하기 위함이다. 만일, 촬영 부위마다 베이스(20)의 높이가 달라지면 베이스(20) 내부의 전자부품, 회로, 기계 장치 등을 통해 흐르는 전류에 의해 자장 분포 역시 달라지게 되므로 정밀한 영상을 얻을 수 없게 되며, 또 MRI 마그네트의 세팅작업은 정밀하면서도 많은 시간이 소요되는 것이므로 각 부위별 촬영시마다 매번 MRI 마그네트를 세팅해줄 수는 없는 것이다.At this time, the scanner 10 sets the magnetic field distribution to the state where the base 20 is raised to the maximum, and the reason for doing this is as in the case of photographing a part other than the breast using a general cradle of an open shape. This is to ensure that the magnetic field distribution through the scanner 10 is constant when both breasts are photographed using the movable body 40 and the cradle 50 according to the present invention so that a high quality image can be obtained at all times. If the height of the base 20 is changed for each photographing part, the magnetic field distribution is also changed by the current flowing through the electronic parts, circuits, and mechanical devices in the base 20, so that an accurate image cannot be obtained, and the MRI magnet This is a precise and time-consuming process, so you won't be able to set the MRI magnet each time you shoot each part.
따라서, 상기와 같이 크래들(50)을 웜보어(11)에 완전 진입시키고, 크래들(50)과 베이스(20)의 사이를 신호교환 가능하게 접속시켜놓은 상태에서 베이스(20)를 최초의 위치로 상승시켜 그 자장 분포를 세팅상태에 맞게 균일하게 맞추어준 후 유방 촬영에 들어가면 된다.Therefore, the cradle 50 is completely entered into the worm bore 11 as described above, and the base 20 is returned to its initial position while the cradle 50 and the base 20 are connected in a signal exchangeable manner. You can raise the field evenly to match the setting and enter the mammogram.
자기공명 영상장치를 통해 유방을 촬영하거나, 다른 부위를 촬영하는 것은 그 작동이 동일하게 이루어지므로 그 구체적인 작용에 대해서는 설명을 생략한다.Photographing the breast through the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus, or photographing the other parts of the operation is performed in the same way, so a detailed operation thereof will be omitted.
유방촬영이 완료된 후에는 다시 베이스(20)의 높이를 낮추어 이동체(40)를 베이스(20)의 상부와 하부 사이에 끼워넣게 되며, 웜보어(11) 내부의 크래들(50)을 꺼내어 이동체(40) 위에 올려놓고, 이동체(40)를 베이스(20)로부터 이탈시킨 후 베이스(20)를 원래의 높이로 복귀시키면 된다.After the mammography is completed, the height of the base 20 is lowered again to insert the movable body 40 between the upper and lower portions of the base 20, and the movable body 40 is taken out by taking out the cradle 50 inside the worm bore 11. ), The movable body 40 is separated from the base 20, and then the base 20 is returned to its original height.
이와 같이 본 발명에 따르면, 자기공명 영상장치가 설치되어 있는 룸과 떨어진 장소에서 환자가 상의를 탈의하고 크래들(50)에 누운 상태에서 커버(51)로 환자의 상체부위를 덮어주게 되므로 수치심을 전혀 가지지 않아도 되며, 이러한 크래들(50)이 이동체(40)에 얹혀져 자기공명 영상장치가 설치되어 있는 룸으로 이동할 수 있으므로 큰 불편함없이 유방촬영을 수행할 수 있게 된다.As described above, according to the present invention, the upper part of the patient is covered with the cover 51 while the patient undresses and lies on the cradle 50 at a place away from the room where the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus is installed. It does not have to have, since the cradle 50 is placed on the movable body 40 can move to the room where the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus is installed, it is possible to perform the mammography without great inconvenience.
또한, 크래들(50)이 이동체(40)로부터 분리되도록 구성되면서 베이스(20)의 높낮이가 조절될 수 있으므로 이동체(40) 위에 얹혀진 크래들(50)을 웜보어(11)의 내부에 정밀하게 진입시킬 수 있음은 물론 크래들(50)을 웜보어(11)의 내부로 완전 진입시킨 후 유방 촬영 전에 베이스(20)가 원래의 위치로 복귀됨으로써 균일한 자장 분포를 제공해줄 수 있어 정밀한 영상을 얻을 수 있는 것이다.In addition, since the height of the base 20 can be adjusted while the cradle 50 is configured to be separated from the movable body 40, the cradle 50 placed on the movable body 40 can be precisely entered into the inside of the worm bore 11. Of course, after the cradle 50 is completely entered into the worm bore 11, the base 20 is returned to its original position before the mammography, thereby providing a uniform magnetic field distribution, thereby obtaining a precise image. will be.
또한, 베이스(20)의 높낮이가 조절될 수 있어 상부가 오픈된 일반적인 크래들과 커버(51)를 갖는 본 발명에 따른 크래들(50)을 모두 사용할 수 있으며, 따라서 베이스(20)를 범용적으로 사용할 수 있는 이점도 있게 된다.In addition, the height of the base 20 can be adjusted to use both the cradle 50 according to the present invention having a top cradle and a general open cradle 51, and thus the base 20 can be used universally There is also an advantage.
