Intended Use

The system is intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of X-ray transmission data taken at different angles and planes for head, whole body, cardiac and vascular X-ray Computed Tomography applications in patients of all ages, supporting diagnosis and therapy planning.

Technology

The device consists of a gantry mounted on a transporter for linear movement on rails, image acquisition and reconstruction hardware/software, and system software. It performs Axial, Cine, Helical, Cardiac, and Gated acquisition modes. The gantry remains similar to the predicate device but disables physical tilt, with other components such as X-ray tube, detector, and high voltage generator retained. It uses backlit diode detector technology and GE low noise ASICs for signal conversion.

Performance

The device underwent extensive non-clinical verification and validation testing, including risk management, software verification, dose specification and image quality testing per IEC standards. Non-clinical bench tests showed performance equivalent to the predicate device. Clinical testing was not required since engineering bench tests were sufficient.
