Read the full statement (316 words)
The system is intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission projection data from the same axial plane taken at different angles. The system has the capability to image whole organs in a single rotation. Whole organs include but are not limited to brain, heart, liver, kidney, pancreas, etc. The system may acquire data using Axial, Cine, Helical, Cardiac, and Gated CT scan techniques from patients of all ages. These images may be obtained either with or without contrast. This device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, components and accessories.
This device may include data and image processing to produce images in a variety of trans-axial and reformatted planes. Further, the images can be post processed to produce additional imaging planes or analysis results.
The system is indicated for head, whole body, cardiac, and vascular X-ray Computed Tomography applications.
The device output is a valuable medical tool for the diagnosis of disease, trauma, or abnormality and for planning, guiding, and monitoring therapy.
If the spectral imaging option is included on the system, the system can acquire CT images using different kV levels of the same anatomical region of a patient in a single rotation from a single source. The differences in the energy dependence of the attenuation coefficient of the different materials provide information about the chemical composition of body materials. This approach enables images to be generated at energies selected from the available spectrum to visualize and analyze information about anatomical and pathological structures.
GSI provides information of the chemical composition of renal calculi by calculation and graphical display of the spectrum of effective atomic number. GSI Kidney stone characterization provides additional information to aid in the characterization of uric acid versus nonuric acid stones. It is intended to be used as an adjunct to current standard methods for evaluating stone etiology and composition.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
