Intended Use

The MAGNETOM system is indicated for use as a magnetic resonance diagnostic device producing cross sectional images, spectroscopic images, and spectra of the head, body, or extremities to assist in diagnosis.

Technology

The device includes new and modified hardware and software components compared to the predicate. Hardware includes new coil designs, a dockable table for intraoperative use, and new sensors for cardiac triggering. Software improvements include new pulse sequences, image reconstruction algorithms based on convolutional neural networks, and workflow automation for prostate imaging and contrast injector coupling.

Performance

Performance testing included image quality assessment via clinical images, bench tests of new hardware, and software validation. Biocompatibility and safety tests were also conducted. No additional clinical studies were performed, but referenced clinical publications support functionality of specific features.
