Use 4 Safe handling Always position the coil so that the coil cable does not touch the patient’s head. Since the coil is not made of breathable material, use table sheets and/or covers to prevent the coil surface from touching the patient in order to enhance patient comfort.
4 Use The procedure for examining other body regions or for using other patient positions is similar. ✓ The spine coil is positioned on the patient table. Position the patient in the supine position with the head pointing toward the magnet. Use suitable positioning aids.
Use 4 Position the first Contour 24 coil on the patient and connect the coil to coil socket 1. Attach the Velcro adapter strap to the Velcro pads along the edge of the first Contour 24 coil. The Velcro pads are on the reverse side of the cable outlet.
Quality measurement 5 Quality measurement ✓ The spine coil is positioned on the patient table. Position phantom holder 26 on the table. Place the 5300-ml plastic bottle inside the phantom holder 27. Position the Contour 24 coil between the phantom holder 26 and the plastic bottle.
