The bead bag immobilization device.
Our aim was to reduce motion artefact during radiographic angiography and MRI of the lower limbs. The legs were immobilized using a bead bag with a filtered closeable valve. Air was removed by suction and the bag moulded into a rigid restraint. The bead bag is an effective, well tolerated and easily used immobilization device that is suitable for use in radiological imaging.
