Hand Examinations: Patient Positioning Procedure
DPA Hand/Wrist Coil 2 is recommended for examinations of the hand on
standard or small size patients.
DPA Hand/Wrist Coil 3 is recommended for examinations of the hand on
large size patients.
1
Check that there are no obstacles in the patient seat movement area.
2
Ensure that there is no coil in the gantry and that the cavity is totally
free.
3 After releasing the brakes, place the patient's seat in the position
parallel to the magnetic unit. Lock the seat by pressing the rear brake
and at least one of the two front brakes (refer to chapter 6).
4
Place the lumbar support cushion on the seat (refer to chapter 9).
5
Help the patient on to the seat, taking care to instruct the patient to
use exclusively the front part of the seat without attempting to get off
the side.
Place the patient's legs on the padded leg rest.
6 The front and rear shielding collars (optional) must be fixed to the
gantry and opened to the maximum limit, to avoid any type of
interference with insertion of the limb. Always leave the covers fitted
on the gantry.
