Read the full statement (132 words)
The Liberty 5000 Breast Coil with Disposable Biopsy Plate is designed to provide Magnetic Resonance Images of the breast anatomy and aid in guidance during biopsy procedures. The Liberty 5000 Breast Coil with Disposable Biopsy Plate is designed for use with the Hitachi Altaire 0.7T scanner.
The indications for use are the same as for standard imaging:
The Altaire 0.7T 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 as stated in the FDA summary.
