Detailed description of the invention
For above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, feature and advantage can more be become apparent, below in conjunction with drawings and Examples, the specific embodiment of the present invention is described in detail.Obviously, described embodiment is only a part for embodiment of the present invention, instead of they are whole.According to these embodiment, those of ordinary skill in the art is obtainable all other embodiments under the prerequisite without creative work, all belong to protection scope of the present invention.
Shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 5, described PET-CT frame is installed and is aimed at indicating device YouCT center indication component 1 HePET center indication component 3 two parts compositions, wherein CT center indication component 1 is used to indicate CT center of rotation, and PET center indication component 3 is used to indicate the center of PET detector.
Shown in Fig. 3, described CT center indication component 1 is by gripper shoe 11, contiguous block 12, laser instrument 13, the four-dimensional main parts size compositions such as platform 14 and laser instrument fixed muffle 15 of adjusting.Described laser instrument 13 is fixed on four-dimensional adjustment on platform 14 by described laser instrument fixed muffle 15, on described laser instrument 13, there is a focusing ring 131, can be used for the focus adjustment of institute's Emission Lasers, the described four-dimensional platform 14 of adjusting has four adjusting knob 141-144, adjusting knob 141 can be realized the four-dimensional translation of platform 14 along X-direction of adjusting, adjusting knob 142 can be realized the four-dimensional translation of platform 14 along Y direction of adjusting, adjusting knob 143 can be realized the four-dimensional moving of platform 14 along X-direction of adjusting, and adjusting knob 144 can be realized the four-dimensional moving of platform 14 along Y direction of adjusting.The described four-dimensional platform 14 of adjusting that described laser instrument 13 is housed is fixed in gripper shoe 11 by described contiguous block 12, the described four-dimensional platform of adjusting is fixed on the reserved interface of described contiguous block 12 by screw 123, screw 124, the described contiguous block 12 that is fixed with four-dimensional adjustment platform 14 is fixed in described gripper shoe 11 by screw 121, screw 122, and the reserved circular hole 111 in gripper shoe 11 centers can be passed in described laser instrument 13 rear ends.Also porose 112, hole 113, hole 114, hole 115 in described gripper shoe 11, increase these four holes and not only can alleviate the weight of gripper shoe 11, also can make gripper shoe 11 installing and more convenient when dismounting.
Certainly, in gripper shoe 11, the number in hole is not limited to four in above-described embodiment, the shape in hole 112, hole 113, hole 114 and hole 115 is also not limited to the triangle shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is only number, shape and the position that schematically draws these holes, in other embodiments, those skilled in the art also can change according to practical situation number and the form in hole, even can not establish these perforates.
Shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, described PET center indication component 3, comprises the first central plate 31, the second central plate 32, the first center testers 33 and the second center testers 34.Described the first center tester 33 is positioned at described the first central plate 31 centers, and described the second center tester 34 is positioned at described the second central plate 32 centers.In the present embodiment, described the first center tester 33, the second center tester 34 are the indicator board with cross scale, in other embodiments, also can use the indicator board with concentric circular scale, can also be an aperture of the first central plate 31, the second central plate 32 centers, those skilled in the art can adopt any object with indicative effect according to practical situation.
Shown in Fig. 4, Fig. 7, Fig. 8, Fig. 9 and Figure 10, method and step that PET-CT frame is installed aligning are as follows:
(1) the described CT center indication component 1 assembling is installed on CT frame rotating part, be fixed on the reserved interface of CT frame rotating part 2 by screw 121, screw 122 by described gripper shoe 11, be used to indicate CT center of rotation, the laser that now described laser instrument 13 is launched is positioned at roughly the center of CT frame rotating part 2, and described laser instrument 13 is to PET direction transmitting beam of laser;
(2) described PET center indication component 3 is installed on the reserved interface of PET frame 4, is used to indicate the center of PET detector; PET frame 4 is moved on the position that needs to install, adjust the position of described PET frame 4, make laser facula that described laser instrument 13 the launches position near the first center tester 33 on described the first central plate 31, regulate the focusing on described laser instrument 13 to change 131, make the hot spot on described the first central plate 31 reach minimum;
(3) with the moving described CT frame rotating part 2 of slow with one's hands slow-speed, if now described laser beam does not overlap completely with CT center of rotation, the track of described hot spot on the first central plate 31 is a circle, can be by regulating the four-dimensional adjusting knob of adjusting on platform 14, described in when CT frame rotating part 2 is rotated, facula position is motionless, and now described hot spot is positioned on the center of rotation of CT;
(4) move described PET frame 4, adjust the strong point 41 and the strong point 42 of PET frame 4 front ends, make described hot spot aim at the first center tester 33;
(5) keep the position of described the first central plate 31 motionless, take off described the first center tester 33, the laser facula that described laser instrument 13 is launched can arrive the also position near the second center tester 34 on described the second central plate 32, regulate described focusing ring 131, make described hot spot reach minimum.Regulate the strong point 43 of PET frame 4 rear ends, the height of the strong point 44, make described hot spot aim at the second center tester 32.
It should be noted that, before the described strong point 43 of adjusting, the strong point 44, also can reaffirm CT center of rotation, operational approach is identical with above-mentioned confirmation method, with the moving CT rotating part of slow with one's hands slow-speed, if described laser spot position is motionless, show that now laser facula is still on CT center of rotation; If the track of laser facula on rear center's plate is a circle described in while rotating CT rotating part, need again to regulate the four-dimensional adjusting knob of adjusting on platform 14, when CT is rotated described in laser spot position motionless.
It should be noted that, when described laser arrives the second central plate 32 position, position approaches the second center tester 34 very much, thereby be only very small amplitude for the adjusting of the described strong point 43, the strong point 44, can substantially keep the position of the first central plate 31 motionless so be in course of adjustment.If have impact slightly in adjustment process, can repeat above-mentioned steps, until PETYu CT center is completely coaxial.
