1.4.2.7. Patient Legs Support
During the treatment, the patient’s body must stay immobilized to avoid miss-targeting and thermal
artifacts. Epidural/general anesthesia keeps the patient lower body temporary immobile throughout the
treatment duration, yet legs support is required for holding them slightly spaced and elevated and with
some knee flexion. This position allows room for the positioner while still enabling entrance to the MR bore.
The specially designed patient leg holders provide patient immobilization while uncompromising patient
comfort. The supporting Leg Holders are attached to the cradle and are adjustable in S/I and can also be
rotated as necessary.
