Instructions And Patient Preparation<\/h3>\n
\n
Instructions<\/dt>\n
Position the patient in supine position with head pointing towards the magnet
Position the patient over the spine coil and place the body coil over the pelvis
Securely tighten the body coil using straps to prevent respiratory artifacts
Give a pillow under the patient\u2019s head for extra comfort
Sedation vs bundle and feed is the ordering provider’s decision<\/dd>\n
Common Indications<\/dt>\n
Pain
Trauma<\/dd>\n
Position<\/dt>\n
