E.CAM Computer / e.soft Workstation is a Gamma Camera computer for nuclear medicine used to detect or image the distribution of radionuclides in the body or organ, using the following techniques: - Planar Imaging - Whole body imaging - Tomographic imaging (SPECT) for non positron emitter - Positron imaging by coincidence - Positron imaging without coincidence up to 588 keV - Display and process nuclear medicine, PET and CT images
Device Story
E.CAM Computer/e.soft Workstation serves as the primary interface for Siemens E.CAM Gamma cameras and a processing/review platform for nuclear medicine and PET/CT images. Input data includes radionuclide distribution signals from Gamma cameras and external image data (NM, PET, CT) via DICOM/TCP/IP. The device performs image reconstruction, including Flash 3D OSEM modeling, attenuation correction using CT images, and PET quantification. Operated by clinicians in clinical settings, the system facilitates image review, processing, and storage. Output consists of processed diagnostic images and quantitative data, aiding healthcare providers in clinical decision-making regarding radionuclide distribution. HIPAA support is integrated for patient data privacy.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on design control activities, including Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FEMA) and comparison of technological characteristics to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Nuclear medicine imaging workstation; supports SPECT, PET, and CT image processing. Features Flash 3D OSEM reconstruction algorithm and CT-based attenuation correction. Connectivity via TCP/IP and DICOM for integration with PACS, HIS/RIS, and imaging modalities. Software-based platform for image acquisition, review, and quantification.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring nuclear medicine imaging, including planar, whole body, and SPECT imaging, as well as PET imaging (coincidence and non-coincidence). Used for the detection and imaging of radionuclide distribution in the body or organs.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A medical image management and processing system is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images for the purposes of interpretation by a trained practitioner of disease detection, diagnosis, or patient management. The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.

### Device Description
E.CAM Computer / e.soft Workstation provides primary user interface for acquiring images from the Siemens E.CAM family of nuclear medicine Gamma cameras, as well as a collection of clinical applications for processing and review of images from any nuclear medicine and/or positron emission imaging systems. E.SOFT relies on standard networking and image transfer protocols (TCP/IP and DICOM) for connection to/from other devices, including NM, PET and CT imaging stations, image review/storage (PACS) stations, hardcopy devices, external archive devices and HIS/RIS (Hospital information/Radiological Information Systems).
### Description of Change or Modification
E.CAM Computer / e.soft Workstation is to be modified to provide attenuation correction with computed tomography images (CT), improved reconstruction with Flash 3D OSEM modeling, PET quantification activity and HIPAA (patient privacy) support.
### Intended Use of Device
E.CAM Computer / e.soft Workstation is a Gamma Camera computer for nuclear medicine used to detect or image the distribution of radionuclides in the body or organ, using the following techniques:
- . Planar Imaging
- Whole body imaging .
- Tomographic imaging (SPECT) for non positron emitter 、
- Positron imaging by coincidence .
- Positron imaging without coincidence up to 588 keV .
- Display and process nuclear medicine, PET and CT images .
### Device Comparison
Attenuation correction is performed by all SPECT vendors, including e.soft with an emission source. Attenuation correction with computed tomography images (CT) is currently performed by GE Medical Systems (K991841). Most SPECT devices support OSEM Reconstruction. E.soft will provide improved processing with Flash 3D OSEM Reconstruction. Pet quantification activity streamlines the use of PET data by combining new & existing pet related displays & processing the data in a single protocol (or activity). The concerns of patient data security, access & privacy are accomplished by supporting the HIPAA directives.
