Definitions

  • the image deterioration is primarily caused by attenuation and spreading, including Compton spreading of the radiation, particularly in the bone parts of the arms.
  • Fig. 2 shows the patient from fig. 1 with the arms placed on the pad which is supported on each side of the thorax. The arms are placed such that the elbows are raised above the thorax.
  • Fig. 3 shows an example of an arm pad 4 made in accordance with the present invention.
  • the arm pad is supported at the bottom on each side of the patient's thorax.
  • the pad curves like an arch from the support faces 9, which gives room for the patient's thorax.
  • the patient's arms may be placed in the depressions 10 and be fixed with the belt 7, which may be secured by e.g. a Velcro closure.
  • the arm pad will typically be made of a core of a polymeric material, such as foam rubber, with insignificant attenuation of the radiation type used for the scanning.
  • the surface of the arm pad may be made of a material which is easy to clean, and which must be capable of tolerating the cleaning agents, such as spirit, required for the examination spot.
  • a typical selection of material for the surface may e.g. be a polymer, such as PVC.
  • Fig. 4 shows the same arm pad as fig. 3, but seen in another perspective.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un support de bras et un procédé pour des tomodensitogrammes (CT scanner) de patients couchés. Cette méthode est caractérisée en ce que les bras du patient sont placés le long de son corps, avec les coudes relevés au-dessus de son thorax. L'invention est destinée à réduire l'inconfort des patients lors d'un tomodensitrogramme : il n'est ainsi plus nécessaire que les patients lèvent leur bras au-dessus de leur tête, leurs bras peuvent être positionnés de manière plus naturelle, le long du corps, et sont confortablement soutenus par un support de bras, et ce, tout en gardant une qualité d'image élevée pour le tomodensitogramme. En outre, le support de bras permet de faciliter la totalité du procédé de manipulation du patient, en particulier pour des patients souffrant de traumatismes, ce qui permet de réduire considérablement la durée totale du tomodensitrogramme. Fréquemment, le facteur temps est extrêmement important, précisément pour des patients souffrant de traumatismes, de sorte qu'une réduction de cette durée de scanner est un élément vital dans des situations critiques. L'expérience indique que l'utilisation du support de bras de l'invention permet de réduire la durée du scanner pour des patients souffrant de traumatismes, typiquement à moins de 10 minutes, par rapport à des durées classiques de 20 à 25 minutes.
