Mammography table accessories
Design for a medical device to be used for MRI breast cancer diagnosis.
Major considerations on the design were FDA regulations, the possibility to autoclave parts that might have been contaminated during biopsies, ergonomics (for medical personnel and patient) and MRI constraints (the use of ferrous metals near the emitting coil had to be avoided in order to prevent artifacts).
