PA Matrix Coil

Dedicated 16-element coil for high-resolution, bilateral peripheral MR angiography.

Features & Benefits

General

  • 16-element design with 16 integrated preamplifiers, in 8 CP pairs, i.e. 4 levels with 2 CP elements each
  • Operates in an integrated fashion with the Body Matrix coils and Spine Matrix coil and for Whole-Body examinations also with the Head and Neck Matrix coil
  • Automatic table feed and active coil switch
  • Can be utilized head and feet first
  • Both legs are independently covered with coil elements, maximizing the coil filling factor and the signal-to-noise ratio
  • No coil tuning
  • Includes special non-ferromagnetic coil cart for safe, user-friendly storage
  • iPAT-compatible

 

Applications

  • High resolution angiography of both legs incl. pelvis with highest signal-to-noise ratio
