Patient positioning is very important for artifact-free
images. The thoracic girdle should be positioned as far
as possible in the caudal direction. This can be done
using a strap with a permanent loop or Velcro fastener
at its end. The ends of the strap must be attached to
the patients wrists. Then the strap must be wrapped
around the patients feet with his legs extended and
under tension. The entire thoracic girdle is thus pulled
toward the patients feet.
