STAGE is a post-processing software medical device intended for use in the visualization of the brain. STAGE analyzes input data from MR imaging systems. STAGE utilizes magnitude and phase data acquired with specific parameters to generate enhanced Tl weighted images, susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) images, susceptibility weighted image map (SWIM) images, pseudo-SWIM (pSWIM) images, modified pSWIM (mpSWIM) images, true SWI (tSWI) images, MR.A images, simulated dual-inversion recovery (DIR) images, and maps of Tl, R2*, and proton density (PD).
When interpreted by a trained physician, STAGE images may provide information useful in determining diagnosis.
STAGE is indicated for brain imaging only and should always be used in combination with at least one other conventional MR acquisition ( e.g., T2 FLAIR).
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
