Device for stabilizing parts of a body particularly for computed tomography diagnostics

摘要

The invention relates to a stabilization device for stabilizing parts of a body during imaging diagnostics performed by means of magnetic resonance, for example computed tomography. The stabilization device includes a flexible RF coil (6) which is pressed against the part of the body to be examined by way of a supporting element (1). The stabilization device in accordance with the invention is distinct from customary stabilization devices that must be applied by a third party and often have to be fixed by means of belts in that the supporting element (1) is constructed so as to be adapted to the part of the body to be stabilized and also so as to be elastically compliant, and that the coil (6) is connected to the supporting element (1) in such a manner that it follows the elastic deformation thereof and hence is self-adapting. The coil is preferably embedded in a pillow (2) which is connected to the supporting element that is provided with a plurality of spring elements (3) that are movable independently of one another.
