The InkSpace Imaging Snuggle pediatric body array coil is designed specifically for pediatric patients, according to a press release. Young patients often find MRI exams challenging, and the Snuggle coil was created to make the experience more comfortable and less intimidating. Its light, blanket-like design and soft, flexible structure gently wrap around the patient. The Snuggle coil’s high-density array and flexible design allow sharp, high-resolution images and more efficient exams across a range of pediatric anatomies. These advantages can reduce the need for additional imaging or follow-up procedures while helping technologists work more efficiently through easier handling, faster setup and shorter scan times, helping to improve throughput and reduce repeat exams. Recently cleared through the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) process, InkSpace Imaging developed the Snuggle coil to provide a more child-friendly alternative to traditional rigid devices.
