Intended Use
Vantage Galan 3T systems are indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging modality that produces cross-sectional transaxial, coronal, sagittal, and oblique images that display anatomic structures of the head or body. Additionally, this system is capable of non-contrast enhanced imaging, such as MRA. MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) images correspond to the spatial distribution of protons (hydrogen nuclei) that exhibit nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The NMR properties of body tissues and fluids are: ·Proton density (PD) (also called hydrogen density) - ·Spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) - ·Spin-spin relaxation time (T2) - ·Flow dynamics - ·Chemical Shift Depending on the region of interest, contrast agents may be used. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images vield information that can be useful in diagnosis.
Device Story
3T MRI system; acquires proton density, T1, T2, flow dynamics, and chemical shift data; utilizes AiCE (Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine) reconstruction processing unit to enhance image quality. Operated by trained clinicians in clinical settings. System modifications include expanded SPEEDER acceleration (up to 6x), optimized FFE 2D/3D minimum TR/TE, and double coverage interleave acquisition. Output consists of cross-sectional images for physician interpretation to aid diagnosis. Benefits include improved image homogeneity and reduced distortion via optimized reconstruction and acceleration parameters.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification and validation testing included phantom imaging to assess image homogeneity, distortion, low contrast, and SNR. Results confirmed that Rx/Tx Correction Plus improves homogeneity and increased Exsper acceleration factors reduce distortion. Design controls and risk management activities were completed.
Technological Characteristics
3T MRI system; utilizes AiCE reconstruction; software-based acceleration (SPEEDER/Compressed SPEEDER); supports standard MR pulse sequences (EPI, FSE, FFE). Complies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-33, and NEMA MS standards. Software class: Moderate level of concern. Connectivity: Networked for DICOM imaging workflows.
Indications for Use
Indicated for diagnostic imaging of head or body anatomic structures in patients requiring cross-sectional transaxial, coronal, sagittal, or oblique MRI, including non-contrast MRA. Contraindications include presence of ferromagnetic objects (collision hazard).
Regulatory Classification
Identification

#### 24. TESTING
Risk analysis and verification/validation testing conducted through bench testing are included in this submission which demonstrate that the system requirements have been met. Additionally, image quality testing was completed which demonstrated that the subject device meets predetermined acceptance criteria.
MR image quality metrics were performed, utilizing phantom images, to assess Rx/Tx Correction Plus with regards to image homogeneity. It was concluded that Rx/Tx Correction Plus increases the homogeneity of the image compared to the image without intensity correction.
MR image quality metrics were performed, utilizing phantom images, to assess Exper (expanded SPEEDER) maximum acceleration factor of up to six with regards to image distortion, homogeneity, low contrast and SNR. It was confirmed that the distortion due to magnetic field inhomogeneity was reduced by increasing the Exsper acceleration factor.
Software Documentation for a Moderate Level of Concern, per the FDA guidance document, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices Document" issued on May 11, 2005, is also included as part of this submission.
