With people's attention to health and the continuous development of modern medical science and technology, the demand for large-scale high-performance diagnostic and therapeutic equipment has increased in recent years. The rapid development of computers and other high-tech since the 1980s has brought high-end medical equipment to a new level, especially radiodiagnostic and therapeutic equipment, which is developing in the direction of the smallest possible radiation dose and the digitization of imaging analysis.
In the X-ray radiation path, the relevant accessories are required to have good X-ray transmission performance, so that the radiation dose is as small as possible under the premise of satisfying the use, so as to reduce the harm of radiation to patients and medical personnel. These requirements are difficult to meet for related components that use traditional materials. In addition, on the premise of satisfying X-ray transmission performance, there are also relatively high requirements for the strength and rigidity of certain components, because these properties directly affect the imaging quality. And patient comfort. Therefore, medical device manufacturers began to focus on the carbon fiber composite materials that were originally used in aerospace. As a result, carbon fiber composite materials officially entered the medical field.
China carbon fiber composite structural parts manufacturer launched:
Carbon fiber medical bed board
The most common application of carbon fiber composite materials in the medical field is as bed panels for radiological equipment. Boshi carbon fiber uses carbon fiber composite material as the skin, and low-density foam as the core material, which can greatly improve the rigidity of the structure while ensuring light weight, while achieving weight reduction and reinforcement effects. And because the aluminum equivalent of the carbon fiber foam sandwich medical board is very low, the absorption rate of X-rays is very low, and the imaging effect is particularly good, which has been widely used in radiation medical equipment. Due to the outstanding performance advantages of carbon fiber composite materials, breast pallets, headrests, arm rests, and pallets and film boxes for dental X-ray equipment photography have also begun to use carbon fiber composite materials.
Foreign medical device factories first invented the X-ray machine. Its function principle is to directly convert X-ray photons into digital images through electronic cassettes. It has high requirements for accessories on the radiation path and requires X-ray transmittance of the bed panel carrying the patient. High and low loss; therefore, from the plywood, density board to phenolic resin board, plexiglass board used up to the current carbon fiber composite material bed board, the overall performance of the equipment has improved the performance requirements for bed panel materials. X-ray computed tomography (CT) equipment has developed rapidly in recent years, driving the application of carbon fiber composite materials in medical equipment.
Carbon fiber medical CT bed board
A new flat-panel DR system that can view dynamic X-ray images and collect static X-ray images. The system can perform conventional static X-ray imaging of the chest and extremities. It can also achieve "X-ray fluoroscopy" so that radiologists can observe internal organs. Dynamic images, so as to select the best moment to collect static images. Canon chose carbon fiber medical sheet as the DR system panel to achieve the best weight loss and image effects.
