Intended Use

The MAGNETOM system is indicated for use as a magnetic resonance diagnostic device (MRDD) that produces transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique cross-sectional images, spectroscopic images and/or spectra, displaying the internal structure and/or function of head, body, or extremities. Contrast agents may be used. Images and spectra derived parameters assist in diagnosis. Also used in imaging during interventional procedures with MR compatible devices.

Technology

The devices consist of hardware and software updates from predicate devices, including modified host computers, measurement and reconstruction system (MaRS), new Flex Loop Large coil on Aera, and new/modified imaging features such as GRE_PC, Physio logging, Open Recon, MR Fingerprinting, and Deep Resolve Boost AI-based reconstruction for enhanced imaging quality.

Performance

Performance testing included software verification, validation, sample clinical image assessment, and coil performance bench tests. AI features Deep Resolve Boost and Deep Resolve Sharp were trained and validated on large datasets with quality metrics (PSNR, SSIM) and evaluated visually for image sharpness and artifact reduction. No clinical testing conducted, but sample clinical images and literature references support performance. All tests support substantial equivalence and safety.
