What is it indicated for?

Your MAGNETOM MR system [Aera/Skyra] is indicated for use as a magnetic resonance diagnostic device (MRDD) that produces transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique cross sectional images, spectroscopic images and/or spectra, and that displays the internal structure and/or function of the head, body, or extremities. Other physical parameters derived from the images and/or spectra may also be produced. Depending on the region of interest, contrast agents…

Read the full statement (124 words)

Your MAGNETOM MR system [Aera/Skyra] is indicated for use as a magnetic resonance diagnostic device (MRDD)

that produces transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique cross sectional images, spectroscopic images and/or spectra, and

that displays the internal structure and/or function of the head, body, or extremities. Other physical parameters derived

from the images and/or spectra may also be produced. Depending on the region of interest, contrast agents may be used.

These images and/or spectra and the physical parameters derived from the images and/or spectra when interpreted by a

trained physician yield information that may assist in diagnosis.

Your MAGNETOM MR system [Aera/Skyra] may also be used for imaging during interventional procedures when

performed with MR compatible devices such as in-room displays and MR Safe biopsy needles.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
