The Tac G2 RF coil system provides extended coverage throughout the brain and spinal cord to C6. It provides homogeneous B1+, which means excellent image quality and no signal dropout. Additionally, the Tac G2 has an open-face design which promotes patient comfort and reduces claustrophobia.
See below for a video comparing many sequence types on our coil and the Nova Medical 1Tx/32Rx RF coil.
