The Discovery MR750 3.0T, Discovery MR450 1.5T, Discovery MR750w 3.0T and the Optima MR450w 1.5T systems are whole body magnetic resonance scanners 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 and/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 Discovery MR750 3.0T, Discovery MR450 1.5T, Discovery MR750w 3.0T and the Optima MR450w 1.5T systems reflect the spatial distribution or molecular environment of nuclei exhibiting magnetic resonance. These 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.
