What is it indicated for?

The Dynamic MRI Software Option for C-scan, E-scan XQ and E-scan Opera MRI Systems allows the acquisition of MR dynamic image datasets and the post processing display of temporal variations in the acquired datasets, showing changes in contrast over time. Its purpose is to provide time intensity curves that support the diagnostic process. These images when interpreted by a trained physician, yield information that may assist in diagnosis.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
