Abstract
A support and indexing apparatus and method are provided for use in imaging a lumbar region of a patient. A base is adapted for insertion into a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus, and a support structure is rotatably affixed thereto at a pivot point atop the base. The support structure is adapted for receiving a side of a trunk of the patient, and the pivot point is positioned to permit flexion of the lumbar region. Biasing means are provided for preferentially positioning the support structure in one of a sequential series of rotational positions relative to the base. An indexing mechanism provides an angular measurement of the rotational position.
