The following coil configuration names must be installed to run this tool: `HD TR Knee PA`.	-	-

This procedure can be performed using either a flat table or a curved table.

Note:

Coils do not ship with phantoms. Phantoms come in a unified phantom set with the MR system.

Ensure that the phantom positioner is aligned with the posterior coil section as indicated by the marks on the positioner and the coil.

Figure 7. Positioner Aligned with Posterior Coil Section
Carefully align the connector pins on the lower part of the coil with the upper part of the coil. Latch both the coil sections into place. The scanner will not operate if the coil sections are not latched correctly.

Figure 8. Coil Sections in Place
Connect the coil to port A of the system LPCA, and landmark the coil at the cross mark available near the handle of the coil. Advance to scan.
