What is it indicated for?
The Optima MR430s MR Scanner is indicated to use as a magnetic resonance imaging device of the leg (excluding the thigh), knee, ankle, foot, elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand. The device produces transverse, sagittal, coronal, and oblique cross-sectional images, displaying the internal structure of the limbs and joints being imaged. If interpreted by a medical expert, these images can provide diagnostically useful information.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
