ABSTRACT:
For use in medical imaging, an indexing assembly provides repeatable indexing movement of a joint in predetermined angular increments between sequential index positions. Means are provided for limiting movement of the joint to the next selected index position without skipping any index positions. The apparatus is contained entirely within, for example, a primary imaging coil of an MRI apparatus, and is patient directed.
