SyMRI is a post-processing software medical device intended for use in visualization of soft tissue. SyMRI analyzes input data from MR imaging systems. SyMRI utilizes data from supported MR sequences to generate parametric maps of R1, R2 relaxation rates, and proton density (PD).SyMRI is intended for automatic labeling, visualization and volumetric quantification of segmentable brain tissues from a set of MR images. Brain tissue volumes are determined based on modeling of parametric maps from SyMRI.When interpreted by a trained physician, the parametric maps, tissue maps, and volumetrics from SyMRI can provide information useful in determining diagnosis. SyMRI is indicated for head imaging.SyMRI can also generate multiple contrast weighted images from the parametric maps generated by post-processing data from M2D-MDME sequence. SyMRI enables post-acquisition image contrasts adjustments from acquisition using M2D-MDME sequence.When M2D-MDME acquisition data is used as input to SyMRI the synthetic contrast weighted images can also provide information useful in determining diagnosis. SyMRI is intended to be used in combination with at least one other, conventional MR acquisition (e.g. T2-FLAIR).
An individual software program or group of programs, routines or algorithms that add specific image processing and/or analysis capabilities to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system configuration. A basic set of applications programs and routines are included with such computer-controlled imaging systems and they can be upgraded to correct programming errors or to add new system capabilities. Some applications software programs or program packages must be combined with specific hardware or firmware configurations in order to function as intended. Applications program packages are typically identified by a proprietary name and "version" or "upgrade" number.
