What is it indicated for?

The RF coils when used in conjunction with the MRI systems or RF coils when used with the incubator system and both the incubator and RF coils used in conjunction with the MRI systems provide imaging of the adult head, extremity, neonate head and body. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in the determination of the diagnosis.

Anatomical Region: Adult Head, Extremity

Neonate Head, Body (heart, spine, pelvis, extremity)

Nucleus Excited: Proton 1H

Diagnostic Uses: ID, 2D, 3D TI, T2 Weighting

Proton Density

Chemical Shift

MR Blood Flow

MR Spectroscopy

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
