Variety 16-Channel Multipurpose Coil
The “Variety” Coil is a 16-channel multipurpose flex coil developed to contour closely to anatomy, particularly for MR exams that can be challenging. Many musculoskeletal exams prove difficult due to patient size, anatomy contour, and patient comfort during image acquisition. The soft comfort, flexible set-up, optional positioning aids and exceptional SNR of the Variety Flex Coil provide routine, high quality MSK imaging.
The areas of application of the Variety 16-Channel Multipurpose Coil include:
- Application for diagnosis in orthopedics
- Application for diagnosis in pediatrics
- Application for diagnosis in veterinary medicine
