FDA clears Toshibas extra-large MR knee coil
Toshiba has secured FDA clearance for its extra-large knee coil for the Vantage Titan MR system.
Designed for bariatric imaging, the Array coil provides a 22 cm interior diameter for MR imaging and can be employed for bariatric and general population patients, according to Tustin, Calif.-based Toshiba.
In bariatric imaging coils are often too small to accommodate patients. The wide diameter of the extra-large knee Array coil can accommodate most bariatric patients, Toshiba said. The wide diameter can be used for imaging a flexed or bent knee, which is useful when patients cannot straighten their leg due to injury or a medical condition.
Toshiba’s extra-large knee Array coil is appropriate for most routine and advanced MR knee studies, including assessing cartilage, fractures or knee replacement. It is available to current and new Vantage Titan customers.
