Abstract:
A device for positioning a subject's knee during an MRI scan. The device includes foot, knee, and thigh positioning apparatuses. Each of the positioning apparatuses can be translated and/or rotated to allow correct and consistent position of the subject's knee within the MRI magnetic bore. The device includes a user control to facilitate repeat measurements of knee characteristics with reduced intra- and inter-technologist variability.
