The Radiologist’s Choice for Clinically-Proven Clearer MR Images

Cervical SpineSagittal T1 Fat Suppression

Introducing SatPad™What is a SatPad™?• SatPad™ is a fat saturation & patient stabilizing device

used as an MR accessory to improve overall image con-trast & quality.

• The device consists of an antinomically conforming poly-ether pad that contains a non-protonated perfluorocarbon liquid.

How Does A SatPad™ Work?• The non-protonated perfluorocarbon liquid filled SatPad™

improves the homogeneity of the local magnetic field by eliminating air & tissue interfaces, thereby improving im-ages from such pulsing parameters as chemical shift fat saturation and gradient echo.

• SatPads™ stabilize the body part being scanned, reducing motion artifacts.

• SatPads™ reduce magnetic field distortions caused by sharp-angled anatomies such as the neck, spine, knee, an-kle, and breast/chest wall.

Testimonials“We are really happy with the pads and they helped us a lot. If I get a chance to start building my own lab, buying SatPads™ will be on top of my list.”

Ali Khatibi, PhD UNF Functional Neuroimaging Unit, Montreal QC

”SatPads™ allow us to deliver consistent, uniform fat suppression in the most chal-lenging areas such as the head and neck, breast and extremities.”

Lawrence N. Tanenbaum, Radiologist, New York, NY

“SatPads™ are very consistent with their ho-mogeneity in fat sat with extremities, i.e. foot & knee. Also, the pads have been very useful in our brachial plexus protocol for fat sat in the area from cervical spine through shoulder joint. This product has cleared up

many problems that MRI technologists struggle with in our fat sat protocols.”

Andrea Pogozelski, RTMR, Philadelphia, PA

”The SatPads™ have proven themselves to be invaluable in previously troublesome ar-eas of fat suppression imaging. They con-sistently provide homogenous and uniform fat suppression in our breast imaging and post contrast T1 fat sat thoracic and lumbar

spine images. They also help in obtaining better pre-scan shim val-ues on abdominal/pelvic imaging of very thin patients. These pads are most definitely a worthwhile investment into image quality.”

John Waselus, RTMR University Medical Center of Princeton, NJ

Why SatPad™?Clinical StudiesClinical case studies were conducted to evaluate the perfor-mance of the fat saturation device. Healthy adult volunteers were imaged with and without the device and the scans were evaluated by a radiologist. Results indicated that the fat sat-uration technique was enhanced by the use of the fat satura-tion device. The device allowed the MR scanner to load more efficiently and reduce chemical shift artifacts. Each series demonstrated significantly improved homogeneity of the an-atomical location examined, providing clearer, better-defined MR images relative to images without the fat saturation device.

EffectivenessResults of the studies demonstrate that the fat saturation de-vice is safe and effective for enhancing MR fat saturation tech-niques. The fat saturation device provides better MR images when used in conjunction with fat saturation techniques than do the legally marketed medical devices to which substantial equivalency is claimed. Positioning devices improve MR by stabilizing body parts and reducing motion artifacts; however, they do not improve fat saturation. Radiographic grids improve x-ray images by reducing scatter radiation during roentgenog-raphy, whereas fat saturation devices improve MR images by nullifying fat during fat saturation pulsing parameters.

SafetyThe polymeric materials that are used for the pads are com-monly used for medical devices and are known to be safe for the intended use (i.e., skin contact). Based on permeation studies, skin contact with the liquid inside the pad is unlikely since the pads are nearly impervious to the perfluorocarbons. Additionally, due to product design, skin contact caused by a perforation of the pad will be limited. Furthermore, the perflu-orocarbons used in the device are generally accepted as safe (i.e. nontoxic and nonirritating) due to their chemical and bio-logical inertness and are not known to cause irritation of the skin after limited direct contact.
