| Sat Pad Breast Imaging Kits were developed to deal with
specific problems associated with Fat Sat and Contrast Issues in
Breast Imaging. Kits have been developed for 4 channel, 7 channel,
and 8 channel coils.
The pads contain a perflourocarbon fluid that contains no hydrogen
atoms and has magnetic susceptibility similar to that of human tissue.
They will contribute no signal to the MR Image.
These imaging kits reduce the influence of the human body on the magnetic
flux, improving the homogeneity of the main field. They will attenuate
field distortions caused by sharp angled anatomies such as breast
and chest walls when performing breast imaging. The breast kits eliminate
air-tissue interfaces making the target areas more spherical.
There is an 8-channel kit that contains an Accusorb MRI Extremity Shielding
blanket that was designed to rid image artifacts that may show
in the Sagittal and Transverse view. |

| Features at a glance
- The perfluorocarbon fluid contains no hydrogen atoms and has
susceptibility similar to that of human tissue.
- Specifically, hydrogen -depleted fluorocarbons with these properties
will not contribute any signal to the MR image.
- Sat Pads use reduces the influence of the human body on the
magnetic flux, thus improving homogeneity of the field.
- Improved uniformity of the main field.
- Sat Pads attenuate magnetic field distortions caused by sharp
angled anatomies such as neck, spine, knee, ankle, breast and
chest walls.
- Eliminates air-tissue interfaces, making the area more spherical/cylindrical.
Testimonial:
"Sat Pads take a good exam and make it great. The
fat suppression we obtain with sat pads and our latest generation,
8+ channel coils is flawless. MR imaging is a all about contrast
resolution, and thus uniform and consistent elimination of fat
signals is essential, particularly for musculoskeletal and breast
imaging."
