What is it indicated for?

The Phased Array Shoulder Coil does not change the intended use of the Picker 1.5 T EDGE system. The 1.5 T EDGE system is intended for use as a NMR device that produces images that: (1) correspond to the distribution of protons exhibiting NMR, (2) depend upon NMR parameters (proton density, flow velocity, spin-lattice relaxation time T1, spin-spin relaxation time T2) and (3) display the soft tissue structure of the head and whole body.

The Phased Array Shoulder Coil does not change the intended use of the Picker 1.5 T EDGE system.

The 1.5 T EDGE system is intended for use as a NMR device that produces images that: (1) correspond to the distribution of protons exhibiting NMR, (2) depend upon NMR parameters (proton density, flow velocity, spin-lattice relaxation time T1, spin-spin relaxation time T2) and (3) display the soft tissue structure of the head and whole body. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images yield information that can be useful in the dete;mination of a diagnosis.

The Phased Array Shoulder Coil is indicated for use in the following anatomic regions and with the designated nuclei:

Anatomic Regions: Shoulder and other related joint structures

Nuclei Excited: Hydrogen

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
