Intended Use
iPlan RT FiberTracking's indications for use is to prepare and present patient and image data based on CT, MR, Angiographic and other imaging sources including - image preparation - - image localization - - image fusion - - image segmentation - - isocenter handling - - plan review and approval - - fiber tracking - where the result is used for stereotactic radiation treatment planning that is intended for use in stereotactic, conformal, computer planned, LINAC based radiation treatment of cranial, head and neck and extracranial lesions. iPlan RT FiberTracking's indication for use is to prepare and present patient and image data based on MRI scanned with diffusion-weighted sequences. These diffusion images are used for the calculation and display of fiber bundles in a selected region of interest. The created treatment plans of iPlan TT FiberTracking can be used million in a scienced region of interest. The StainLAB medical devices such as BrainSCAN, iPlan RT Image, and iPlan RT Dose where this medical device is used for radiotherapy treatment planning.
Device Story
iPlan RT FiberTracking is a software module enhancing Intuition Image functionality. It imports and processes diffusion-weighted MRI data (DTI) to calculate and display fiber bundles within a selected region of interest. The device performs image preparation, localization, fusion, and segmentation. It is used by clinicians for stereotactic radiation treatment planning for cranial, head and neck, and extracranial lesions. The output consists of visualized fiber tracks and treatment plans, which are integrated with other BrainLAB systems like BrainSCAN, iPlan RT Image, and iPlan RT Dose. This assists physicians in radiotherapy planning, potentially improving treatment precision for lesions.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on bench testing and validation of software functionality.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based medical device for image processing and radiation treatment planning. Operates on DTI (diffusion-weighted MRI) data. Integrates with existing BrainLAB software platforms (Intuition Image, BrainSCAN, iPlan RT Image, iPlan RT Dose).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring stereotactic radiation treatment planning for cranial, head and neck, and extracranial lesions. Utilizes CT, MR, Angiographic, and diffusion-weighted MRI data for image preparation, fusion, segmentation, and fiber tracking.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A medical charged-particle radiation therapy system is a device that produces by acceleration high energy charged particles (e.g., electrons and protons) intended for use in radiation therapy. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, treatment planning computer programs, component parts, and accessories.
