The GE Signa Oncology Package was designed to facilitate patient positioning in the radiation treatment position, which provides greater ease and consistency in co-registering MR and CT images. MR scanning on a flat table utilizing a three-point head fixation mask provides greater patient positioning accuracy and confidence in MR images utilized in radiation therapy planning.

MR is the modality of choice for imaging brain, spine and other soft tissue tumors. MR data is often co-registered with CT images to capture excellent soft-tissue rendition within the CT images used for radiation treatment planning.

The Oncology Package offers:
-
The same patient positioning as CT simulation and radiation therapy treatment
-
Flat table surface enables optimized MR/CT image fusion (co-registration) for Radiation Therapy Planning
-
Indexed table edge and MR-compatible Lok-Bar™ for repeatable fixation positioning
-
A detachable table, which enables patient positioning outside of the MR suite to optimize productivity

The Oncology Table
The oncology table includes a detachable coil positioning frame, which can be placed on the table to help place a flexible coil laterally on a patient's head. The frames can be easily removed from the table to enable flexible patient positioning in body imaging.
|
This offers:
-
Unique lateral placement of coils to accommodate exact RT patient position as with CT simulation
-
Optimized and accurate placement with coil alignment markings
|
Six-Channel Flex Coil
The six-channel flex coil enables high-resolution brain imaging utilizing industry-standard radiation therapy masks, neck support and bite blocks. The semirigid structure of the coil with an open design accommodates a wide range of patient positions, as well as accessories that won’t fit into standard head coils. It is a six-element array with three octagonal shaped, overlapping elements.
