Useful aids for modern MRI imaging
Time pressure, restless or anxious patients, challenging positioning – everyday life in MRI requires a lot of patience, skill and often improvisation. If examinations take longer or images are not of the desired quality, the pressure increases even more.
This is where patient positioning and suitable aids play a crucial role: they enable reliable and standardised procedures, increase patient comfort and ensure high image quality – within the specified time.
Patient positioning – a key to success
Together with MRI application expert Dorina Petersen, Pearl Technology has created a comprehensive document with numerous tips and tricks for patient positioning.
