Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Patient Positioning

Challenges in MRI

  • Increasing patient throughput leads to time pressure – before, during and after the examination.
  • Anxiety, claustrophobia, difficult pathology and long examination time lead to insufficient results.
  • Challenging patient positions for patients with limited mobility take time and require improvisation.

Sophisticated Positioning Aids

Our Solution

  • Simple, standardised positioning speeds up both frequent and infrequent examinations – and thus alleviates time pressure.
  • Comfortably positioned patients undergo examinations calmly and satisfied without complications.
  • Improved image quality and fewer motion artifacts thanks to effective immobilization.
