Overview
AI-generated summary, 20 Sep 2026
The DynaCT is a cone-beam computed tomography (CT) system designed for real-time imaging during interventional procedures. It integrates X-ray angiography with volumetric CT imaging to provide high-resolution, three-dimensional visualization of anatomical structures, enhancing diagnostic and therapeutic precision in hybrid operating rooms or angiography suites.
This device is used in radiology settings for intra-procedural imaging, enabling immediate verification of treatment outcomes without transferring the patient. Supplied as a reusable system, it requires proper sterilization and maintenance per manufacturer guidelines. The DynaCT operates within MRI-safe parameters for its designated use and is authorized under FDA 510(k) clearance (K042646) as a Class II medical device, adhering to regulatory standards for interventional radiology applications.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 20 Sep 2026
What types of procedures can the DynaCT support during real-time imaging, and why is this important for clinicians?
The DynaCT is designed for intra-procedural imaging in hybrid operating rooms or angiography suites, combining X-ray angiography with volumetric CT to provide high-resolution, three-dimensional visualization. This is critical for clinicians performing interventions like vascular procedures, biopsies, or tumor ablations, as it allows immediate verification of treatment outcomes without requiring patient transfer. The real-time imaging ensures precision and reduces procedural risks by confirming placement or effects during the procedure itself.
Is the DynaCT system reusable, and what maintenance or sterilization steps are required?
Yes, the DynaCT is supplied as a reusable system, meaning it is designed for repeated use in clinical settings. Proper sterilization and maintenance are mandatory per the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure safety and performance. Since it operates in sterile environments like hybrid ORs or angiography suites, adherence to these protocols is essential to prevent contamination and maintain imaging accuracy.
What are the key safety considerations for using the DynaCT in a clinical setting, particularly regarding MRI compatibility?
The DynaCT is MRI-safe for its designated use, meaning it can be operated in environments where MRI systems are present without interfering with their function. However, this does not imply it is safe for use inside an MRI scanner or for all MRI-related applications. Clinicians should strictly follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for spatial and operational compatibility to ensure patient and staff safety, especially in hybrid rooms where both imaging modalities may be present.
How does the DynaCT’s regulatory clearance impact its use in radiology departments?
The DynaCT holds FDA 510(k) clearance (K042646) as a Class II medical device, indicating it meets regulatory standards for safety and effectiveness in interventional radiology applications. This clearance confirms its substantial equivalence to a predicate device, allowing radiology departments to integrate it into their workflows with confidence. However, departments should verify compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions and institutional protocols to ensure proper use and maintenance.
