What is it indicated for?

The GE 3.OT General Purpose Flex Coil is designed to facilitate MR imaging of the Brachial Plexus, Unilateral Hip and Thigh. The GE 3.OT General Purpose Flex Coil will facilitate dynamic MR imaging of the joints of lower extremity (Knee and Ankle). This coil consists of two 5” x 6.5” surface coils coupled as a Helmholtz pair in a flexible package that can be wrapped around the anatomy of interest. This flexibility allows for the coil to be applied to a wider range of patients when compared to a similar coil in a rigid package. The coil is an option to the GE [email protected] whole body MR System.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
