MR firm Time Medical has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for its hybrid Mona 0.2-tesla MRI and high temperature superconducting (HTS) orthopedic RF coil.
Hybrid Mona MRI is intended for imaging extremities in adults, as well as for head imaging in children, the Metuchen, NJ-based company said.
The company touts significantly higher image quality enabled by the HTS orthopedic RF coil over other conventional low-field strength systems using copper coils.
