Read the full statement (150 words)
The Magnetom Symphony Head Coil is designed to
provide Magnetic Resonance Images of the brain, cervical spine, soft tissues and
vasculature of the head, neck and upper chest. The Magnetom Symphony Head
Coil is designed for use with the Magnetom Symphony 1.5Tesla scanner
manufactured by Siemens Medical Systems.
Anatomic Regions: Soft tissues and vasculature of the head, neck
and upper chest.
Nuclei Excited: Hydrogen
The indications for use are the same as for standard imaging:
The 1.5Tesla MRI system is indicated for use as an NMR device that produces
images that: (1) correspond to the distribution of protons exhibiting NMR signal,
(2) depend upon NMR parameters (proton density, spin lattice relaxation time T1,
spin-spin relaxation time T2) and (3) display the soft tissue structure of the head
and whole body. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images yield
information that can be useful in the determination of a diagnosis.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
