Intended Use
The MeVis LiverAnalyzer / LiverViewer Software™ device is intended for preoperative planning in liver surgery. The device is used to analyze data and to display image analysis and risk analysis results for the preoperative planning in liver surgery, e.g. organ segmentation, tumor segmentation, segmentation of intrahepatic vessels as well as the approximation of vascular territories. Preoperative evaluation of specific surgery strategies is supported by the feature to interactively define virtual resections splitting the liver or to calculate safety-margins around lesions identifying affected vascular branches and vascular territories supplied or drained by these branches. Medical image data is derived from various sources (i.e. CT scanners, MRI scanners). Typical users of this system are trained professionals, including physicians, nurses, and technicians.
Device Story
PC-based software imports DICOM CT/MRI images; performs organ, tumor, and intrahepatic vessel segmentation; approximates vascular territories. Users interactively define virtual resections and calculate safety margins around lesions to identify affected vascular branches. Output displayed to surgeons for preoperative planning; assists in evaluating surgical strategies. Used in clinical settings by trained professionals (physicians, nurses, technicians). No patient contact; software does not control life-sustaining equipment. Human interpretation required for all displayed information.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
PC-based software application; imports DICOM format CT/MRI images. Performs organ, tumor, and vascular segmentation via voxel-based volume calculation. Standalone software; no patient contact. Hazard analysis level of concern: minor.
Indications for Use
Indicated for preoperative planning in liver surgery. Intended for use by trained professionals (physicians, nurses, technicians) to analyze CT/MRI image data for organ/tumor segmentation, vascular segmentation, and virtual resection planning.
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
*Classification.* Class II (special controls; voluntary standards—Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Std., Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) Std., Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) Test Pattern).

Device Description: 21 CFR 807 92(a)(4)
MeVis LiverAnalyser / LiverViewer Software™ is a PC-based software application that imports medical images (i.e. CT, MRI modalities) in a DICOM format. The MeVis-LiverAnalyser is used to analyze data for preoperative planning in liver surgery. The MeVis-LiverAnalyzer contains dedicated methods for organ segmentation, tumor segmentation, and segmentation of intrahepatic vasculature as well as for the approximation of vascular territories. While using the MeVis-LiverAnalyser a number of masks are produced to merge voxels into sets. Each of this set is meant to represent a specific anatomical entity. All volumes calculated by the MeVis-LiverAnalyzer are given directly by the number of voxels in one of these sets multiplied by the voxel volume. No direct measure of anatomical entities is performed.

Image /page/1/Picture/0 description: The image shows a logo for MeVis, which appears to be a company or organization. The logo features the name "MeVis" in a stylized font, with the "Me" part larger and bolder than the "Vis" part. Below the name, there is some smaller text, which is difficult to read due to the image quality. Further down, there is more text that reads "Centrum fur Medizinische Diagnosesysteme und Visualisierung GmbH".
#### Indications for Use: 21 CFR 807 92(a)(5)
