The ShoulderShape 16, available on the MAGNETOM Vida, is a highly flexible coil with a memory foam-like material that covers anterior and posterior parts of the shoulder and is more of a “one size fits all” solution, according to Gilson.
“Before, shoulder coils were fairly rigid,” Gilson said. “Overall, the coil is flexible and soft and more comfortable for patients.”

The company also released its UltraFlex 18 large and small coils for the Vida, a multi-use coil that Gilson said leads to 50 percent faster scans.
“Because it’s smaller, it’s better for imaging smaller patients,” Gilson said.
The Tx/Rx Knee 18 is also designed for comfort and fit, with a 17-centimeter inner diameter – a 10 percent increase, according to Gilson, that flairs to 19 centimeters.
