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. SyMRI can also generate multiple image contrasts from the parametric maps. SyMRI enables post-acquisition image contrast adjustment. SyMRI is indicated for head imaging.When interpreted by a trained physician, output from SyMRI can provide information useful in determining diagnosis. SyMRI 2D is intended to be used in combination with at least one other, conventional MR acquisition (e.g. T2-FLAIR). T1W and T2W images from SyMRI 3D may replace conventional MR images in a clinical setting when interpreting together with a conventional 3D T2W FLAIR image.
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.
