Why Head Straps Matter in CT
Even a small head movement can blur a CT slice, and a blurred slice often means rerunning the scan. The straps reduce that risk by holding the head against the holder, preventing it from drifting or turning. That steadier position gives you a sharper image on the first pass, which cuts repeat scans, keeps the schedule moving, and lowers the dose the patient takes in.
Features of the Canon Head Straps
- A set of three straps that can be used together for a firm hold
- Hook-and-loop fasteners for quick setup and takedown
- Fit the Canon head holder and hold the patient’s head against it
- Work on both adult and child patients
- Radiolucent, so they do not show up on the CT image
- Latex-free and reusable, each strap is 2 inches wide and 22 inches long
Works with the Canon Head Holder
The straps are made to pair with the Canon Carbon Fiber Head Holder. The holder cradles the head, and the straps lock it in, so together they give you full head immobilization for a CT scan. If you already run the holder, the straps are the piece that turns a resting position into a secured one.
How to Use Them
Lay the patient’s head in the holder, then bring the straps across and press the hook-and-loop closed. Use one strap for a light hold or all three when you need the head fully still, such as a longer or more detailed scan. The fasteners open and close fast, so setup and takedown take almost no time between patients. Because the straps are radiolucent, none of that shows up on the image.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many straps come in a set?
Three. You can use one for a light hold or all three at once when you need the head fully immobilized.
Do they work on children?
Yes. The straps fit both adult and child patients, so one set covers most of your CT caseload.
Will the straps show up on the CT image?
No. The straps are radiolucent, so they hold the head without adding a shadow or artifact to the scan.
What do they attach to?
They are made for the Canon head holder. The holder supports the head, and the straps secure it in place for the scan.
