What is it indicated for?

The Synq Software is indicated for use in conjunction with Synq, a magnetic resonance diagnostic device (MRDD) that produces axial, sagittal, coronal, and oblique cross-sectional images and displays the internal structure and/or function of the head. Depending on the region of interest, contrast agents may be used. These images when interpreted by a trained physician yield information that may assist in diagnosis.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
