    1. The next wave in Imaging Excellence

    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.

    21. Manufacturing

    22. Manufacturing Steps Die-cut vinyl & foam for anatomy or coil type RF seal pads Fill, outgas, final seal, seal strength test Quality control & metal detection check FDA plant inspections 483s clean

    23. Return on Investment Increase market share with sat pad equipped coils. Better images then any competitive coil on the market with out sat pad (This can be proved with images without Pads & with Pads on any coil manufacturer) Corner breast coil market with exclusive Sat Pad breast coils (Become the Gold Standard in MRI Breast Imaging) Competitive but primer pricing with increased market share Future uses of perflurocarbon with prostate coil OEMs & Customers will demand the better quality See testimonials and technical information.

    24. Asset Package Intellectual Properties include two core patents in US, Europe, & Japan Know-How for design and assembly sequence Exclusive rights on all Sat Pad products domestic & International Custom Manufacturing for exact fit on all Invivo Coils Technical transfer and employee training or preferred suppler and manufacturing for Invivo

    25. The Sat Pad TM product line is approved for sale by the Food and Drug Administration and is presently manufactured in FDA registered facilites managed by Breonics,Inc. A copy of the medical device listing for FD 2892 filed with the FDA is attched. Our establishment registration number is 1319325.
