Intended Use
The ImageQube PACS is intended for use by a physician or other medical professionals in the acquisition of medical images and demographic detail from all institutional imaging modalities, including CT, MRI, NM, DR, US, nuclear medicine, Angio and secondary capture devices such as film digitizers or other imaging sources. The acquired medical images and demographic information may be displayed, processed, reviewed optionally utilizing Multi-planar Reconstruction (MPR), Anatomic Triangulation (AT) and 3D display, sent to and retrieved by radiologists at remote sites, stored, archived or printed.
Device Story
ImageQube is a PACS software suite for medical imaging. It acquires images and demographic data from institutional modalities (CT, MRI, NM, DR, US, Angio, film digitizers). It enables display, processing, review, storage, archiving, and printing of images. Optional features include Multi-planar Reconstruction (MPR), Anatomic Triangulation (AT), and 3D display. Used by radiologists and medical professionals in clinical settings, including remote sites via Internet/Intranet. It integrates with HL7-compliant RIS and supports DICOM/IHE standards. The system facilitates clinical decision-making by providing image review and manipulation tools, measurement tools, and individual user templates. It benefits patients by enabling efficient image distribution and remote radiologist access.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is based on technological characteristics, software verification, and validation processes.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based PACS; DICOM and IHE compliant; supports HL7 integration. Features include MPR, AT, and 3D display. Uses Lurawave compression. Operates on commercially available hardware. Software development and validation follow a risk management plan.
Indications for Use
Indicated for physicians and medical professionals for acquisition, storage, distribution, and primary interpretation of medical images from CT, MRI, NM, DR, US, Angio, and secondary capture devices. Contraindicated for primary imaging diagnosis in mammography.
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.
