The list of detectors verified and validated for use with the Discovery XR656 HD system, including their specifications, are provided in the user documentation. The System generates diagnostic The components may be combined in different configurations to meet specific customer needs. In addition, upgrade configurations are available for predicate devices. The optional image pasting function enables the operator to stitch sequentially acquired radiographs into a single image. This 510(k) is to incorporate the VolumeRad advanced application that was currently available on the Discovery XR656 product onto the Discovery XR656 HD, as well as introduce a new Metal Artifact Reduction Algorithm, and an optional standalone console to take any HelixTM acquired images via DICOM (such as from a Discovery XR656 HD, Optima XR646 HD, or Optima XR240amx) and process the images independently of the system it was acquired on.
