Patent Images
1. A capsule incubator for positioning a neonate within an imaging device, the capsule incubator comprising:
- a bottom portion having a length, a width, and an inner surface for positioning the neonate thereon;
a first flap comprising;
i) a side portion that is coupled to and rotatable about the bottom portion along a first longitudinal edge of the bottom portion, the first side portion having a length equal to the length of the bottom portion, and ii) a top portion; and
a second flap comprising;
i) a side portion that is coupled to and rotatable about the bottom portion along a second longitudinal edge of the bottom portion, the second side portion having a length equal to the length of the bottom portion, and ii) a top portion,wherein the first flap and the second flap are rotated to a first position such that the top portion of the first flap and the top portion of the second flap connect, to form a substantially closed housing for the neonate, and wherein the first flap and the second flap are rotated to a second position to form a substantially open housing for the neonate.
