1. Table insert that provides clockwise and counterclockwise rotation at the lumbar spine.
Table insert that provides clockwise and counterclockwise rotation at the lumbar spine. The insert is placed on the MR gantry. The patient is positioned on the insert with head and thorax on the longer segment and hips on the shorter segment. The segments are on rollers that permit them to rotate 8° in a clockwise and a counterclockwise direction, with the axis of rotation centered at a point 10 cm above the segment, so that the spine is at the isocenter of rotation.
