Achieva 1.5T Musculoskeletal coils

SENSE Small Extremity coil 8 elements

• 8-element coil for high quality imaging of elbows, hands and small knees. Its 20 cm coverage matches to size of these anatomies
• Flexible wrap-around design for easy positioning and a good fit
• Fully SENSE and CLEAR compatible, it enables parallel imaging in all directions*. SENSE RF channel optimization further increases signal-to-noise ratio.
• Compatible with Software Release 3 and requires a hardware configuration of 8-channel FreeWave or better

*Maximum SENSE factor of 2 in all directions with appropriate ScanTools level

SENSE Knee coil 16 elements

• For high resolution knee imaging over an extended field of view
• 16-element layout with two overlapping rings of eight receive elements and thus minimizes the need for precise positioning
• Large aperture accommodates patients with heavy muscularity or obesity
• Fully SENSE and CLEAR compatible. SENSE RF channel optimization provides increased signal-to-noise ratio. SENSE and foldover can be applied in all directions*. This is particularly beneficial in sagittal fat-suppressed scans as the choice of the FH foldover and SENSE direction avoids potential pulsation artifacts of the popliteal artery without scan time penalties.
• Ergonomic design with a special ramped insert for patient comfort
• Compatible with Software Release 2.6 and requires 16-channel FreeWave

*Maximum SENSE factor of 2 in all directions requires appropriate ScanTools level

• Coil for knee applications
• High signal-to-noise ratio for high-resolution and small field of view imaging
• Requires 8-channel or higher RF platform

• Ski-boot shaped coil for optimum coverage from the ankle to the toes
• Elements can be selected to focus on the ankle, the foot, or both
• Easy to set up and can be used with the patient's foot vertical or flexed up to 15 degrees plantar
• Requires 8-channel or higher RF platform

• 8 elements that closely encircle the wrist for high signal-to-noise ratio, required to acquire images using an 8 cm or larger field of view
• Can be used with the patient's arm raised above the head or laying at the side, vertically or horizontally
• One-piece, ovoid, hinged design for easy patient set-up.
• Rigid base plate fixates the coil and reduces patient motion artifacts
• Requires 8-channel or higher RF platform

• Enables fast, high signal-to-noise imaging of the shoulder
• Designed to produce uniform signal throughout the shoulder joint with deep penetration into the labrum
• Two coil sizes accommodate both small and large patients, providing optimum signal-to-noise

• Coils position easily on base and comfortably conform to patient's shoulder while reducing motion artifacts

• Phased array coil for lower extremities
• Dedicated anterior parts for knee and foot or ankle imaging
• Includes base plate and pads for ease of use and motion prevention

• Ovoid, two-piece, split-shell design closely surrounds the wrist for high signal-to-noise ratio
• High resolution imaging of small fields of view, e.g. less than 6 cm
• Allows positioning overhead or at the patient's side, vertically, or horizontally
• Includes base tray to lock the coil in place, reducing patient motion artifacts

• Phased array coil for hand or wrist imaging
• Also useful for small elbows
• Coil can be positioned overhead or at the patient's side
• Includes base plate and pads for ease of use and motion prevention
