Vacuum Pump
Today almost any image recorded on 1.5T from the neck and shoulder region is, at least to some extent, blurred by inhomogeneity artifacts. On a 3 Tesla MRI scanner the problem is even worse, since the Signal- to-Noise ratio lowers in areas of anatomical curves. Many studies on sequence modulation and post processing techniques to overcome the blurring and distortion – mainly concentrated around shimming procedures and developing dedicated radiofrequency pulses, have been conducted though the last 10 years with varying success
ClearSat carries an important potential for visualizing lymph nodes in patients with neck cancer. Inhomogeneity reducing collars for breasts, shoulders, elbows etc. are easily designable.
ClearSat is due to its design capable of eliminating airgap between patient and bag will stay in place once vacuum is applied. This unique design offers the flexibility to apply the cushion to the desired ROI’s.
Vacuum is achieved through a MR compatible handpump.
