Read the full statement (167 words)
The Photonova Spectra, Photonova Spectra Select system is a silicon-based spectral photon counting detector X-ray Computed Tomography scanner.
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 acquires multi-energy data in every scan and natively generates high resolution monochromatic images and material density maps to facilitate visualizing and analyzing information about anatomical and pathological structures.
The system is indicated for head, whole body, cardiac, and vascular CT applications. The system is indicated for patients of all ages. The images can be post-processed to produce additional imaging planes or analysis results.
The system is indicated for lung cancer screening for patients meeting the established inclusion criteria of programs/protocols that have been published by either a governmental body or professional medical society.*
* Please refer to clinical literature, including the results of the National Lung Screening Trial (N Engl J Med 2011;365:395-409) and subsequent literature, for further information.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
