Intended Use
syngo Colonography is a self-contained image analysis software package for evaluating CT volume data sets. This software package can also be utilized for evaluating suitable MR volume datasets. Combining enhanced commercially available digital image processing tools with optimized workflow and reporting tools, the software is designed to support the physician in studying the inside (intra-lumenal view), the wall and the outside (extra-lumenal view) of the colon. With the functionality to view datasets from both the prone and supine positions, it facilitates the detection of colonic lesions (eg. Polyps) in addition to the evaluation, documentation and follow-up of any such lesions using standard spiral CT or MR scanning. This evaluation tool allows for volumetric analysis of colonic polyps or lesion size over time, helping the Physician to assess the changes in their growth. It is also designed to help the physician classify conspicuous regions of tissue unambiguously, with respect to their size, dimensions, shape and position. Due to all these capabilities the syngo Colonography software has the advantage of noninvasive evaluation of colonic lesions as compared to conventional colonoscopy.
Device Story
Syngo Colonography is a software package for analyzing CT and MR volume datasets; used by physicians to visualize colon intra-lumenal, wall, and extra-lumenal structures. Inputs include spiral CT or MR volume data; software processes these to provide 3D reconstructions, volumetric analysis, and lesion measurement. Workflow includes prone and supine position viewing to facilitate polyp detection and longitudinal growth assessment. Output is displayed on a workstation for physician review; assists in non-invasive lesion evaluation and clinical decision-making regarding colonic health. Operates as a self-contained analysis tool within the syngo platform.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Safety and effectiveness established via hazard analysis, software verification, and validation testing. No clinical study data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based image analysis package; operates on syngo platform. Features include 3D volume rendering, volumetric analysis, and multi-planar reconstruction. Connectivity via standard DICOM-compatible CT/MR imaging systems. Software-only device; no hardware components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for physicians to evaluate CT or MR volume datasets for colonic lesions, including polyps. Supports intra-lumenal, wall, and extra-lumenal visualization, volumetric analysis, and longitudinal follow-up of lesion growth in patients undergoing spiral CT or MR scanning.
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.
Special Controls

#### II. SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS INFORMATION SUPPORTING SUBSTANTIAL THE EQUIVALENCE DETERMINATION
# Device Description and Intended Use:
This premarket notification covers Siemens Syngo Colonography software package. It is based on Siemens syngo software platform.
syngo Colonography is a self-contained image analysis software package for evaluating CT volume data sets. This software package can also be utilized for evaluating suitable MR volume datasets. Combining enhanced commercially available digital image processing tools
{1}------------------------------------------------
with optimized workflow and reporting tools, the software is designed to support the physician in studying the inside (intra-lumenal view), the wall and the outside (extra-lumenal view) of the colon. With the functionality to view datasets from both the prone and supine positions, it facilitates the detection of colonic lesions (eg.
