Intended Use

GEMINI is an imaging system that combines positron emission tomography (PET) and X-ray computed tomography. The GEMINI produces attenuation and non-attenuation corrected images of the distribution of PET radiopharmaceuticals in the head, body and total body as well as x-ray transmission images of these areas. The PET and CT images are registered and displayed in a fused image, providing both functional and anatomical data at different angles for interpretation by trained health professionals. The PET and CT portions of the system can be used either as an integrated system or as a stand-alone PET or CT system. GEMINI can provide CT data suitable for use in attenuation correction.

Device Story

GEMINI is a hybrid PET/CT imaging system integrating an ADAC ALLEGRO PET scanner and a Marconi MX8000 CT scanner into a single housing. The system acquires PET metabolic data and CT anatomical data, which are registered and fused for clinical interpretation. It operates in three modes: CT-only, PET-only, or combined PET/CT. The system features a separation mechanism to increase distance between PET and CT gantries for improved patient access and a dedicated table to minimize room requirements. Operated by trained health professionals in a clinical setting, the device provides attenuation-corrected PET images using CT-derived transmission maps. This fusion of functional and anatomical data facilitates faster diagnostic decision-making compared to separate imaging procedures.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Evidence consists of bench testing, including performance measurements of the ALLEGRO PET system according to NEMA-NU2 standards, evaluation of image quality using clinical phantoms, and verification of safety standards (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2, IEC 60825-1, UL 2601-1, CAN/CSA-C22.2).

Technological Characteristics

Hybrid PET/CT system. PET component: GSO-based detectors (ALLEGRO). CT component: Dual-slice CT (MX8000). Connectivity: Integrated workstation for image registration and fusion. Standards: 21 CFR 1020.30-33 (CT radiation), IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2, IEC 60825-1, UL 2601-1, CAN/CSA-C22.2. Operation: Three modes (CT, PET, combined).

Indications for Use

Indicated for whole-body oncology imaging in patients requiring PET and CT diagnostic scans. Used for functional and anatomical localization of radiopharmaceutical distribution. Intended for use by trained health professionals.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A computed tomography x-ray system is a diagnostic x-ray system intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data from the same axial plane taken at different angles. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.

The availability of GEMINI 510(k) Notification ADAC Laboratories Section X.-1-1 {1}------------------------------------------------ K013521 -Page 2 of 2 low dose tomographic data sets implies that a natural extension of the ALLEGRO based cesium source attenuation correction to a CT transmission map attenuation correction exists. The primary purpose, however, of the CT is to provide precise anatomical localization for the metabolically significant positron emission distributions imaged on the PET system. These images when properly registered and displayed as a fused image, provide both functional and anatomical information with reliable spatial correspondence in a single image. Comparison to Predicate Device: G. The predicate devices, GE CT-PET (Discovery LS) and the ECAT CT-PET (Biograph) are similar to the GEMINI in that all of the devices consist of a full functional CT and PET. The patient may have a diagnostic CT and PET scan performed consecutively without having to move the patient. The GEMINI provides a mean to reach the diagnostic decision faster than the conventional way of imaging patients with both CT and PET systems in separate locations. The differences are the area of overall system dimensions, room size requirements, scanning length, and ease of use. The GEMINI CT-PET is designed so that the system can operate in three modes: CT only, PET only and combined CT/PET. The major difference is that the GEMINI imaging system has a separation system that allows the distance of the CT and PET units to be increased. This feature provides easy access to the patient. GEMINI provides a newly developed dedicated PET/CT table to minimize the system room requirements H. System Performance Test: - The MX 8000 v.5.0 is manufactured in accordance with Performance Standards in 21 ● CFR 1020.30 -- 33. - ALLEGRO system performance was measured according to the NEMA-NU2 standard. . In addition, clinical phantoms with clinical protocols were used to evaluate ALLEGRO image quality in terms of the noise texture and contrast of the image. - The GEMINI complies with voluntary standards for safety and effectiveness (IEC 60601-. 1, IEC 60601-2, IEC 60825-1, UL 2601-1, & CAN/CSA-C22.2 and is tested to demonstrate the hazards, i.e., electrical, mechanical, and radiation have been minimized. ## I. Conclusion: The GEMINI Imaging System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, the GE CT-PET (K010641) and the EXACT CT-PET (K002715) based upon similar intended use, technological comparison, and system performance. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
