The SIGNA Voyager is a whole body magnetic resonance scanner designed to support high resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio, and short scan time imaging. The SIGNA Voyager is indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging device to produce axial, sagittal, coronal, and oblique images, spectroscopic images and/or spectra, dynamic images, and parametric maps of the internal structures and organs of the entire body. Body structures for evaluation include, but are 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 SIGNA Voyager reflect the spatial distribution and/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.
