Covering Option Descriptions
- Uncovered Standard Foam - charcoal colored, open cell foam, radiolucent, fire retardant, economic, useful for general positioning.
- Ultra Foam - Firm, charcoal colored, closed cell foam, resists fluid absorption/contamination, fire retardant, certain items may require gluing which could attenuate, please see artifacting disclaimer.
- Standard Vinyl Cover - 8 mil frost colored vinyl cover, heat sealed seams to prevent fluid absorption/contamination, seams may artifact, please see artifacting disclaimer
- Heavy Duty Vinyl Cover - 20 mil blue vinyl cover, heat sealed seams to prevent fluid absorption/contamination, seams may artifact, please see artifacting disclaimer
- ScanCoat - Available in White or Black, state of the art sprayed vinyl coating, withstands tearing or peeling, skid resistant, resists fluid absorption/contamination, very low attenuation, this item may artifact, please see artifacting disclaimer. Please note the ScanCoat coverings can NOT be used in CT applications.
Artifacting Disclaimer: In some instances, the optional covering and ultrafoam positioners may present artifacting issues when used for imaging applications. Depending on technique, it may be possible to work around artifact issues, as they typically appear along the edges of the positioning device. If the positioner is placed such that the edges are not in the field of view, artifacting may be avoided. Please note artifacting is most likely to occur for images below 70 KvP. For images above 70 KvP the edges are less obvious and may not present a problem. If you are concerned with artifacting, please select the uncovered, standard foam positioner option.
