Read the full statement (135 words)
S-scan is a Magnetic Resonance (MR) system that produces transversal, sagittal, coronal and oblique cross-section images of the limbs, joints and spinal column. It is intended for imaging portions of the upper limb, including the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, arm and shoulder, imaging portions of the lower limb, including the foot, ankle, calf, knee, thigh and hip, imaging the temporomandibular joint and imaging the cervical, the thoracic and the lumbosacral sections as portions of the spinal column.
S-scan images correspond to the spatial distribution of protons (hydrogen nuclei) that determine magnetic resonance properties and are dependent on the MR parameters, including spinlattice relaxation time (T1), spin-spin relaxation time (T2), nuclei density, flow velocity and “chemical shift”. When interpreted by a medical expert trained in use of MR equipment, the images can provide diagnostically useful information.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
