The IMI Spectrum V.0 is a medical diagnostic system that allows the processing, review, and analysis of multi-dimensional digital images acquired from CT imaging devices. The IMI Spectrum V.0 is not meant for primary image interpretation in mammography.
The IMI Spectrum V.0 is intended to receive patient specific data sets of CT images and can be used for:
* 3D presentation of complex anatomical relationships and specified structures with the complete data set;
* System generation of a 3D model of the desired anatomical structure;
* Viewing of the volume rendered and Multiplanar Reconstruction (MPR) representations of the desired anatomical structure providing additional supplemental information to support interpretation and treatment planning;
* Viewing the inner and outer surfaces of organs as well as within their wall providing additional supplemental information to support interpretation and treatment planning;
* Planning and following a navigation path through the desired anatomical structure;
* Programmed and interactive navigation and flythrough within the 3D volume including specified organs and structures;
* Measurement of position and length of anatomical structures within the 3D volume; and
* Common core technology with specialized interfaces for different anatomical structures.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
