QED Shape Coil Operator's Manual page 43

Leg imaging (supine position, coil wrapped around
the leg): Used for imaging of leg joints.
CAUTION
When imaging is performed using two coils, set up the coils so that their cables do not
come into contact with each other per Section 5.1.1.
CAUTION
1. Do not set the coil under the trunk of the patient. Doing so will subject the coil to
excessive stress, possibly damaging the internal circuit of the coil.
2. Ensure the coil does not overlap itself when scanning small anatomy, such as the
arm or leg. Image quality is not guaranteed when the coil overlaps itself.
(4) If required, use the belt supplied with the system to secure the coil to the patient; see
Section 5.1.2.

Leg imaging (supine position, coils placed across
the legs): Used for imaging over an extensive
range, such as for visualization of blood vessels in
the lower extremities.
Separate the RF coil from the gantry inner wall by
at least 50 mm using foam pads before and during
imaging.
