What is it indicated for?

The P-140-Flex Coil, Na-140-Flex Coil and C-140-Flex Coil are indicated for use as diagnostic device extensions for Philips 3.0 T MR Systems to produce cross-sectional spectroscopy images and/or spectra in any orientation of the internal structure of the whole body, e.g. of the calf, liver or heart. These images when interpreted by a trained physician, yield information that may assist in diagnosis.

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