Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] This invention relates to a device for protecting other patients in the same room from X-rays when taking X-rays in a hospital room.

[Conventional technology]

2. Description of the Related Art Efforts have been made to prevent exposure to X-rays when X-ray photography is performed in a hospital room using a mobile X-ray device, so-called a mobile X-ray vehicle. Conventionally, this has been done by requiring the photographer to wear a protector, or by installing a transparent protective screen in front of the operating panel of the patrol vehicle, or by using wireless or wired technology to place the photographer in a location far away from the vehicle. The exposure switch is opened and closed at the

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, all of these are only protective measures for the photographer, and do not allow indirect X-rays (scattered radiation).
The current situation is that the issue of radiation exposure to other patients in the same room has not been fully considered.

The present invention provides an X-ray protection device that can reduce radiation exposure to patients in the same room and is easy to handle.

[Means for solving problems]

An X-ray protection device for an adjacent patient can be disassembled into a rectangular frame member formed of a rod-like material having an opening larger than a film cassette, and each corner of the frame member so as to straddle the patient on the bed. A portable main body formed by four leg members attached almost vertically, and hanging from each side of the main body in an overlapping manner except for the top and bottom surfaces,
The upper end edge is attached to the frame member and includes a number of strip-shaped side members that can block or attenuate scattered X-rays irradiated from above the main body. Therefore, by simply placing this protective device on the patient, X-ray photography can be performed without exposing other patients to radiation.

The operation of the X-ray protection device for adjacent patients of the present invention will be explained below along with examples.

〔Example〕

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 represents an X-ray protection device according to the present invention, 11 represents a patient, 12 represents a mobile X-ray device, and 13 represents a film cassette.

The X-ray protection device 10 has a main body 14 which is generally box-shaped. The main body 14 has a hollow box shape with openings at both ends. However, here, it is made of an assembly of bars or shapes made of a material that can attenuate or block X-rays, and includes a square frame member 15 and four leg members extending downward from the four corners of this frame member. 16 to 19. The opening in the frame member 15 is larger in size than the film cassette 13 in which the X-ray film is loaded. The leg members 16 to 19 are arranged at right angles to such a frame member and are screwed to the frame member 15.

A side member 20 is disposed on each side surface formed between the leg members of the main body 14. These side members 20 are also made of a material capable of attenuating or blocking X-rays, such as rubber mixed with lead and laminated and bonded to cloth. However, each side member is composed of a large number of strip-shaped parts. These strip-shaped portions are arranged so as to overlap each other little by little, and only their upper edges are connected to the frame member 1.
5, and the lower end side is allowed to bend freely.

As shown in FIG. 2, such an X-ray protection device is designed so that a film cassette 13 placed under the patient 11 is placed inside the leg members 16 to 19, and a bed is placed across the patient 11. placed on top;
The X-ray source 21 of the mobile X-ray device 12 is placed over the opening of the frame member 15, and the X-ray source 21 emits X-rays 22, thereby loading the film into the film cassette 13. Images can be taken on X-ray film. When this protective device 10 is placed on a patient, the lower ends of each of the strip-shaped portions constituting the side member 20 bend to follow the surface shapes of the patient 11 and the head, creating a gap between them. Moreover, the strips themselves overlap each other, and the strips are made of a material that attenuates or blocks X-rays. It is possible to attenuate the X-rays leaking to the outside of the main body 14 as scattered rays generated secondarily from within the body, and prevent other patients 23 around the patient 10 being imaged from being exposed to X-rays, even if However, this can be kept to a very minimum. In addition, in this X-ray protection device, the leg members 16 to 1
9 can be removed from the frame member 15, so by removing these from the frame member 15 and folding the side member 20, it becomes extremely compact and can be carried, for example, by being loaded onto the mobile X-ray device 12. .

In the embodiment described above, the opening formed by the frame member 15 in the main body 14 is connected to the leg member 16.
19, but only the aperture formed by the leg members may have dimensions relevant to the X-ray film or film cassette.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, the X-ray protection device for adjacent patients of the present invention includes a rectangular frame member formed of a bar-shaped member having an opening larger than a film cassette, and a bed top at each corner of the frame member. a portable main body formed by four leg members disassembled and attached substantially vertically so as to straddle the patient;
A large number of strip-shaped strips that overlap and hang down from each side surface of the main body except for the top and bottom surfaces, and whose upper edges are attached to the frame member to block or attenuate scattered X-rays irradiated from above the main body. This structure prevents surrounding patients from being exposed to X-rays, and can be easily placed between the X-ray film and the X-ray source and placed over the patient. It is extremely easy to handle.
