Indications for Use

Volume Viewer Plus is a medical diagnostic software that allows the processing, review, and communication of 3D reconstructed images and their relationship acquired images from CT, MR, X-Ray Angio and PET Scanning devices. The combination of acquired images, reconstructed images, annotations and measurements performed by the clinician are intended to provide to the referring physician clinically relevant information for diagnosis, surgery and treatment planning.

Device Story

Volume Viewer Plus is a software package for GE Advantage Workstation, Centricity PACS, and CT operator consoles. It processes DICOM CT, MR, X-Ray Angio, and PET images. Functionality includes Multi-Planar Reformation (MPR) in orthogonal, oblique, or curved planes; 3D rendering (MIP, MinIP, Average, Volume Rendering, Fly-Through); and correlation with original images. Clinicians use the interface to manipulate, annotate, measure, and record views, and generate exam reports. Features include anatomy segmentation, multi-phase display, and fused hybrid imaging (PET/CT, PET/MR). The software aids referring physicians in diagnosis, surgery, and treatment planning by providing clinically relevant 3D visualizations and quantitative data.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. The device relies on software development, validation, and verification processes to ensure performance to specifications and adherence to industry standards.

Technological Characteristics

Software-based medical diagnostic tool for 3D image processing. Operates on GE workstations (Advantage, Centricity PACS, CT consoles). Supports DICOM standard for image input/output. Features include MPR, 3D rendering (MIP, MinIP, Volume Rendering), segmentation, and fused hybrid imaging. Connectivity via standard workstation/PACS network integration.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use by clinicians to process, review, and communicate 3D reconstructed images and original source images from CT, MR, X-Ray Angio, and PET scans for diagnosis, surgery, and treatment planning.

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.

Predicate Devices

# Device Description:

Volume Viewer Plus is a software package to be used on the GE Advantage Workstation, the GE Centricity PACS Workstation and the GE CT Operator Consoles (LightSpeed and HiSpeed). It allows

#### NOMFICHIFR

{1}------------------------------------------------

the 3D processing, review and analysis of DICOM CT, MR, X-Ray Angio and PET images previously acquired, reconstructed and transferred on the corresponding workstation.

This software provides Multi-Planar Reformation (MPR) views in any plane (orthogonal, oblique or curved), 3D views in any rendering mode (MIP, MinIP, Average, Volume Rendering, Fly-Through) and their correlation to originally acquired images. Its user interface provides the tools to manipulate, annotate, measure and record these views as well as output an exam report. Additional features allow for segmentation of anatomy as well as display of multi-phase and/or fused hybrid images (PET/CT, PET/MR).

# Indications for Use:

Volume Viewer Plus is a medical diagnostic software that allows the processing, review, and communication of 3D reconstructed images and their relationship acquired images from CT, MR, X-Ray Angio and PET Scanning devices. The combination of acquired images, reconstructed images, annotations and measurements performed by the clinician are intended to provide to the referring physician clinically relevant information for diagnosis, surgery and treatment planning.

### Comparison with Predicate:

Volume Viewer Plus is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices listed above and provides additional processing capabilities with standard review protocols per anatomy and acquisition technique (One Touch, Layout Presets, Compare Mode), enhanced segmentation tools (AutoSelect, Multi-Object Volume Rendering), enhanced visualization tools (Fused Display, Dynamic Volume Review, ROI Tool) and finally real-time interactive exporting tools (Batch Reformat/Filming, Movie Builder).

#### Adverse Effects on Health:

The potential hazards are identified in a risk management summary (hazard analysis) and are controlled by:

- · Software Development, Validation and Verification Process to ensure performance to specifications, Federal Regulations and user requirements.
- · Adherence to industry and international standards.

#### Conclusions:

The Volume Viewer Plus does not result in any new potential safety risks and performs as well as devices currently on the market. GE considers features of the Volume Viewer Plus to be equivalent to those of Advantage Windows Volume Rendering Option (K972399) and CT Colonography / Navigator2 (K012313).
