## Indications for use
Arterys Viewer is intended to be used as a Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) and non-DICOM information and data management system. The Arterys Viewer displays, processes, stores, and transfers medical data from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) that support the DICOM standard, with the exception of mammography. It provides the capability to store images and patient information from OEM equipment, and perform filtering, digital manipulation and quantitative measurements. The client software is designed to run on standard personal and business computers. The product is intended to be used by trained medical professionals, including but not limited to radiologists, oncologists, and physicians. It is intended to provide image and related information that is interpreted by a trained professional to render findings and/or diagnosis, but it does not directly generate any diagnosis or potential findings.
