The OptimaTm MR4S0w is a whole body magnetic resonance scanner designed to support high resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio, and short scan times. It is indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging device to produce axial, sagittal, coronal, and oblique images, spectroscopic images, parametric maps, and/or spectra, dynamic images of' the structures anid/or functions of the entire body, including, but not limited to, head, neck, TMJ, spine, breast, heart, abdomen, pelvis, joints, prostate, blood vessels, and musculoskeletal regions of the body. Depending on the region of interest being imaged, contrast agents may be used,
The images produced by the OptimaTm MR4S0w reflect the spatial distribution or molecular environment of nuclei exhibiting magnetic resonance. Those images and/or spectra when interpreted by a trained physician yield information that may assist in diagnosis.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
