Positioning without the Head/Neck 16

If you do not use the Head/Neck 16, the head of the patient is
positioned in the back-of-the-head support.
The back-of-the-head support must be positioned correctly so that the
system knows the exact patient position and can determine the
correct SAR values.
 CAUTION
Patient positioning in Head First orientation without a head or
head/neck coil!
Wrong SAR calculation resulting in local overheating
◆ Always use the back-of-the-head support if no head or head/
neck coil is used.
◆ Make sure that the back-of-the-head support is positioned
correctly on the head-heel insert so that it is flush with the
edge marking of the head-heel insert.
