Hint
• Patient positioning is very important for artifact-free
images. The thoracic girdle should be positioned
as far as possible in the caudal direction. This can be
done using a strap with a permanent loop or Velcro
fastener at its end. The ends of the strap must be
attached to the patients wrists. Then the strap must
be wrapped around the patients feet with his legs
extended and under tension. The entire thoracic girdle
is thus pulled toward the patients feet.
