What is it indicated for?

The Flex Coils are designed to produce diagnostic images of human anatomnies and are used as general purpose coils. The Flex Coils are receive-only coils designed to be used with 1.5T MRI systems manufactured by GE Healthcare to provide images of various parts of human body including shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, hip and ankle. Large flex coil can be used for scanning large anatomy and small flex coil can be used for scanning smaller anatomy. The flexible coil is wrapped around the anatomy of interest, such as an elbow or knee or can be used for planar imaging.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
