Intended Use
The device is a diagnostic imaging system that combines Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) systems. The CT component produces cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of X-ray transmission data. The PET component images the distribution of PET radiopharmaceuticals in the patient body. The PET component utilizes CT images for attenuation correction and anatomical reference in the fused PET and CT images. This device is to be used by a trained health care professional to gather metabolic and functional information from the distribution of the radiopharmaceutical in the body for the assessment of metabolic and physiologic functions. This information can assist in the evaluation, detection, diagnosis, staging, restaging, follow-up, therapeutic planning and therapeutic outcome assessment of (but not limited to) oncological, cardiovascular, neurological diseases and disorders. Additionally, this device can be operated independently as a whole body multi-slice CT scanner.
Device Story
Cartesion Prime, PCD-1000A, V10.7 is a hybrid PET/CT imaging system; combines multi-slice helical CT scanner with digital PET detector using SiPM sensors. Inputs: X-ray transmission data for CT; positron-emitting radiopharmaceuticals for PET. PET component uses CT images for attenuation correction and anatomical reference in fused images. Operated by trained healthcare professionals in clinical settings. Outputs: cross-sectional CT images, PET images, and fused PET/CT images. Healthcare providers use output for metabolic/physiologic assessment, disease staging, and therapeutic planning.
