Diagnostic support

1. A diagnostic support suitable to be attached to a patient, said diagnostic support comprising:

a band configured to be wrapped around and tightened onto at least one portion of said patient corresponding to an area of interest of said patient; and

at least two air spaces incorporated in said band and configured to expand so that, when said band is tightened onto said at least one portion of said patient, said at least one air space compresses and stiffens said at least one portion of said patient so as to permit at least a part of an internal movement to be transferred to said band,

wherein said air spaces are isolated from one another so that said air spaces are configured to have a different internal pressure, and

wherein the patient is a horse, and the band is adapted to have two opposing portions positioned on opposite sides of a neck of the horse.

2. The diagnostic support according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one air space is configured to be arranged between said band and said patient.

3. The diagnostic support according to claim 1 , wherein said band is radio-transparent.

4. The diagnostic support according to claim 1 , comprising at least one pressure gauge configured to measure the pressure inside said at least one air space.

5. The diagnostic support according to claim 1 , comprising at least one marker connected to said band and configured to be recorded during a diagnostic examination.

6. The diagnostic support according to claim 5 , wherein said marker comprises radio-transparent elements configured to be recorded by an optical camera alternating with radio-opaque elements configured to be recorded at least by a radiological imaging device.

7. The diagnostic support according to claim 1 , wherein the band has an open profile and comprises:

one or more openings through the open profile of the band adapted to allow passage of limbs of said patient; and

a fastener adapted to bind together two opposite edges of the band to attach the band to the patient.

8. A diagnostic inspection device comprising:

a diagnostic support configured to be attached to a patient, said diagnostic support comprising:

a band configured to be wrapped around and tightened onto at least one portion of a patient corresponding to an area of interest of said patient

at least one marker connected to said band; and

at least two air spaces incorporated in said band and configured to expand so that, when said band is tightened onto said at least one portion of said patient, said at least one air space compresses and stiffens said at least one portion of said patient so as to permit at least a part of an internal movement to be transferred to said band, wherein said air spaces are isolated from one another so that said air spaces are configured to have a different internal pressure;

acquisition means configured to perform an internal acquisition of the area of interest of said patient by recording said at least one marker and said area of interest; and

recording means configured to record said at least one marker during said internal acquisition,

wherein the patient is a horse, and the band is adapted to have two opposing portions positioned on opposite sides of a neck of the horse.

9. The diagnostic inspection device according to claim 8 , wherein the diagnostic inspection device is a radiological imaging device or a magnetic resonance device comprising said acquisition means and configured to determine the movements of the area of interest based on movements of the marker recorded by said recording means and to eliminate artifacts of said internal acquisition based on said movements.

10. The diagnostic inspection device according to claim 8 , wherein the band has an open profile and comprises:

one or more openings through the open profile of the band adapted to allow passage of limbs of said patient; and

a fastener adapted to bind together two opposite edges of the band to attach the band to the patient.

11. The diagnostic support according to claim 8 , wherein the band is further adapted to have a central portion, between said two opposing portions, positioned on top of the neck of the horse.

12. The diagnostic support according to claim 11 , wherein said at least two air spaces incorporated in said band comprise three air spaces corresponding, respectively, to said two opposing portions and said central portion.

13. The diagnostic inspection device according to claim 8 , wherein the band is further adapted to have a central portion, between said two opposing portions, positioned on top of the neck of the horse.

14. The diagnostic inspection device according to claim 13 , wherein said at least two air spaces incorporated in said band comprise three air spaces corresponding, respectively, to said two opposing portions and said central portion.
