Siemens GOKnee3D MRI application cleared by FDA

GOKnee3D, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) application from Siemens Healthineers, has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance. The application is currently available for use with Siemens MAGNETOM Aera 1.5T and MAGNETOM Skyra 3T MRI scanners.

Siemens stated that the GOKnee3D application enables a push-button diagnostic 3D knee exam in just 10 minutes. Acquisition of high-resolution isotropic 3D images enables flexible evaluation of these images in all planes, including double oblique and curved planar.

The volume acquisition of GOKnee3D enables higher scan speeds and optimal image reconstruction with better signal quality than in previous technologies, according to the company. Supported by dedicated, high-channel Tim 4G knee coils as well as automated field of view adaptation based on machine learning and artificial intelligence, the MRI scanner acquires volume data of the knee joint with the push of a button.
