Cardiac MRI coil developer Magna-Lab has received Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance for its Cardiac View surface coil. The MRI receiver coil is placed on the surface of the patient's chest. It's designed to facilitate MRI of the heart and associated thoracic structures, according to the Syosset, NY-based firm.
The surface coil can be used alone or in tandem with the vendor's Cardiac View probe, a transesophageal receiving coil designed to aid in the imaging of the aortic arch, the descending aorta, and the coronary vessels of the heart. When used together, Magna-Lab says the two products effectively surround the heart, allowing additional imaging information to be generated.
