What is it indicated for?

The intended use of the Noras OR Head Coil 3T is, in conjunction with a Magnetic Resonance Scanner, the MR examination of the human brain just before, during and at the end of the brain surgery in the operating room. The coil can also be used as a standard diagnostic head coil for diagnostic examinations and fMRI (Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging).

Used in the 3T MAGNETOM Systems, it is indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging device to produce transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique images of the internal structures of the head.

When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in determining diagnosis.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
