What is it indicated for?

The Siemens SOMATOM P47 system is intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data from either the same axial plane taken at different angles or spiral planes* taken at different angles.

In addition the SOMATOM P47 is able to produce additional image planes and analysis results by executing optional postprocessing features, which operate on DICOM images.

The images and results delivered by the system can be used by a trained physician as an aid in diagnosis.

(*spiral planes: the axial planes resulting from the continuous rotation of detectors and x-ray tube, and the simultaneous translation of the patient.)

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
