Foot - Ankle Region Examinations
- facilitated and correct centering of the limb in the coil;
- increased patient's comfort;
- no direct contact between the patient’s skin and the coil, which could
lead to areas of excessive brightness in the images and difficulties with
diagnosis.
11
Raise the limb not examined and position on the lateral leg rest.
12
Positioning with this coil proceeds from the next point.
17
Lock the seat by pressing the rear brake and at least one of the two
front brakes (refer to chapter 6).
18 Position the large shielding strap on the thigh, precisely at the point of
closure of the front shielding cover.
19
Close the front cover to guarantee perfect contact with the shielding
strap (refer to chapter 7) and close the rear cover completely on itself
(if used).
20
Acquire the Scout sequence (see chapter “Examination environment”
of the User Interface Manual).
On completion of the examination, proceed as follows:
1 Open the front shielding cover to the maximum limit, leaving it - if no
problems are created in the subsequent steps of the procedure - fitted
on the gantry.
2 Remove any cushions positioned between the anatomical region
examined and the coil.
3 Release the seat, pushing the front locking brake pedals upwards, and
the rear brake pedal downwards.
4 Move the patient’s seat back, using the handle situated in the rear to
remove the limb from the coil, ensuring that the knee of the leg
examined is positioned on cushion type SC1 or SC1 + SC2 applied on
the support.
5 Position the knee of the limb not examined on cushion type SC1 or
SC1 + SC2 applied on the support.
6 Lock the seat, pressing the rear brake and at least one of the two front
brakes, in a position to guarantee easy descent for the patient without
any obstruction by the magnetic unit.
7 Raise the patient’s legs and remove the cushion type SC1 or
SC1 + SC2 from the front of the seat.
N o t e
If no error message indicating the presence of interference and/or
noise upon acquisition is displayed and if the acquired scout images
are free of interference and/or noise, the examination can be
performed. Otherwise ensure correct positioning of the covers and
shielding strap and then repeat the Scout sequence.
