The intended medical use of the OR Head Holder LUCY and Head Coil Set 1.5T/3T is, in conjunction with a Magnetic Resonance Scanner, intra-operative MR imaging during an open-skull neurosurgery. The OR Head Holder LUCY is used for safe securing the patient’s head during a surgical intervention at the head. It is possible to make an intraoperative assessment during the intervention to determine its progress. In the MR area the Head Coils enable the diagnostic imaging, in the X-ray environment it is mandatory to remove the Head Coils and the device serves as a skull clamp only.

A radio-frequency (RF) coil acts as a transmitter, receiver, or both a transmitter and receiver of RF pulses necessary for diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedures. It is used to enhance image resolution by improving signal to noise characteristics. There are two main kinds of RF coils: volume coils (which surround the part of the body being imaged) and surface coils (which are placed and secured directly on or under an area of interest). This group of devices includes a variety RF coil designs and configurations including, e.g., surface coils, phased array coils, paired saddle coils, Hemholtz pair coils or bird cage coils.
