4. What is a Sat Pad? A perfluorocarbon liquid containing no Hydrogen atoms.
The liquid is enclosed in pads that are directly applied to the patient anatomy of interest: neck/spine, ankle, abdomen, breast, etc.
Pads are placed between the coil and the patient.

7. How Does Sat Pad Work Sat Pad improves the uniformity of the main field
Sat Pad attenuates magnetic field distortions caused by sharp-angled anatomies such as neck, spine, knee, ankle, breast/chest wall.
Sat Pad eliminates air-tissue interfaces, making the area more spherical/cylindrical.
8. Physics
The perfluorocarbon fluid has no hydrogen atoms & has magnetic susceptibility similar to that of human tissue.
Specifically, hydrogen-depleted fluorocarbons with these properties, will not contribute any signal to the MR image.
Sat Pad use will reduce the influence of the human body on the magnetic flux, thus improving homogeneity of the field.
9. Application of Sat Pad Sat Pad is designed to improve the homogeneity of the local magnetic field, thereby improving images from such pulsing parameters as chemical shift fat saturation, inversion recovery and gradient echo
Sat Pad also services as a comfort pad or stabilizing device to reduce motion artifacts.
For convenience, the back pad may be left on or built into the table & used as a noncompressable patient or comfort cushion.

15. Testimonials Lawrence Tanenbaum, MD
Edison, NJ
Fat suppression is important to contrast resolution in most areas of clinical MRI. Sat Pads allow us to deliver consistent, uniform fat suppression in the most challenging areas such as the head and neck, breast and extremities.
16. Testimonials Deana Carducci, RTMR
Crozer-Keystone Health Systems
The Sat Pad are ingenious. They make scanning a soft tissue neck a pleasure. It saves us time because that fat sat is always homogeneous. We never have to repeat scans using the manual fat sat technique since we have purchased them. Looking forward to see what is in store with these pads in the future.
17. Testimonial Andrea Pogozelski, RTMR, BS
Hahnemann University Hospital
Sat Pads are very consistent with their homogeneity in fat sat with extremities, i.e. foot & knee. Also, the pads have been very useful in our brachial plexus protocol for fat sat in the area from cervical spine through shoulder joint. This product has cleared up many problems that MRI technologist struggle with in our fat sat protocols.
18. Testimonial John Waselus, R.T. (R) (MR)
University Medical Center of Princeton, NJ
The sat pads have proven themselves to be invaluable in previously troublesome areas of fat suppression imaging. They consistently provide homogenous and uniform fat suppression in our breast imaging and post contrast T1 fat sat thoracic and lumbar spine images. They also help in obtaining better pre-scan shim values on abdominal/pelvic imaging of very thin patients. These pads are most definitely a worthwhile investment into image quality.
19. Testimonial Engineering Department of a major worldwide MRI Manufacturer
The Sat Pads improve the image every time they are used. Sometimes a small improvement & sometimes a great improvement but always a better image.
