Ultrasound brain imaging device
Budget: $1,500 – $3,000 USD
We need to make a frame that can hold a patient's head in place while we image their brain with custom ultrasound transducers.
We have designed the transducers and general shape of the brain helmet (Solidworks assembly attached). We are seeking solutions to 1) mechanically holding the head in place and 2) making the frame as aesthetically pleasing as possible. All mechanisms for adjustment (i.e. extension/retraction) should be complete in the design i.e. functional.
I attached the SolidWorks files and a very quick and ugly sketch of the general concept. This is just the first idea so please take this as a jumping-off point and feel free to be creative!
Our one requirement is that one of the head fixation parts be a sliding piece over the middle of the frame that fixes to the bridge of the patient's nose (called the nasion).
Wants:
Completeness of adjustment mechanism details and practicality.
Solution for adjustable fixation of the bridge of the nose.
As aesthetically pleasing as possible. Sleek, beautiful form.
Don't Wants:
Ugly bulky design.
Impractical design with no possibility of 3d printing
Vague or non-functional mechanisms.
