Wrist coil for magnetic resonance imaging

摘要

Two halves of a separable wrist coil provide a coil volume closely conforming to a patient's hand yet separable for insertion and removal of the hand. The halves are hinged allowing easy one-handed operation of the coil in which an operator may stabilize the patient's hand within a propositioned coil with one hand while closing the coil and locking it in position with the other. Detents and a manual lock assist in this process.
