Abstract
The disclosure provides a cranial rotation system, including a subject stage configured to support a subject; a cranial support configured to support a cranium of the subject and rotate relative to the subject stage; subject stage a motor configured to rotate the cranial support about a rotational axis; and a controller configured to operate the motor.
Claims20
A cranial rotation system for optimized injury observation, the cranial rotation system comprising:
- a subject stage configured to support at least one part of a subject;
- a cranial support configured to support a cranium of the subject and rotate relative to the subject stage;
- a motor configured to rotate the cranial support about a rotational axis, whereby the cranial support is oscillated, thereby inducing injury to at least one part of the cranium of the subject;
- and
- a controller, the controller being configured to operate the motor, wherein the motor is configured to repeat a frequency of oscillation of the cranial support for a predetermined period of time.

A method for optimizing injury observation of a subject using a cranial rotation device, the method comprising:
- providing a cranial rotation device, the cranial rotation device comprising:
- a subject stage configured to support at least one part of a subject;
- a cranial support configured to support a cranium of the subject, rotate relative to the subject stage;
- a motor configured to rotate the cranial support about a rotational axis;
- and
- a controller, the controller being configured to operate the motor;
- positioning the at least one part of the subject on the subject stage;
- arranging a cranium of the subject on the cranial support;
- and
- activating the motor, via the controller, to rotate the subject stage in an angle range around an axis at a frequency for a predetermined period of time, whereby the cranial support is oscillated, thereby inducing injury to at least one part of the cranium of the subject.
