GE HealthCare on Wednesday said U.S. regulators had cleared its head-only magnetic resonance imaging scanner.
The Chicago-based medical technology company said the MRI device, called Signa Magnus, had received 510(k) clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. That approval pathway is for devices that are similar to products that are already approved for market.
GE HealthCare said the system would offer new capabilities in clinical imaging and neuroscience and could possible aid in detecting various conditions.
The company said that existing facilities could upgrade to the new system.
