Device Story

IQQA-Liver is a PC-based, non-invasive software application for analyzing DICOM multi-phase CT liver images. It assists trained physicians in visualizing, evaluating, and reporting on liver anatomy and lesions. Key functions include automated image registration for multi-phase datasets; interactive segmentation and labeling of liver segments and vascular structures; and manual or interactive segmentation of physician-identified lesions. The software performs regional volumetric analysis (size, shape, position, enhancement pattern) to support lesion characterization.

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).

Reporting {1}------------------------------------------------ tools in the software automatically assemble information (including physician identified lesion locations, measurement information, physician-input lesion characterization, lesion ROl images across multi-phases, and illustrative snapshots of the GUI taken by physicians) for physician's confirmation and for further diagnosis note input. The IQQA-Liver software supports a workflow based on automated registration for viewing and analyzing multi-phase volume datasets. The software automatically matches the spatial location of axial images across multi-phases, and provides synchronized viewing of multi-phase dataset to aid visualization. The software further includes tools for interactive segmentation and interactive labeling of liver segments and vascular structures (such as liver lobes, vessels and major branches), thus facilitating the visualization of spatial relationship between suspicious liver lesions and specified anatomical structures/landmarks. The tools also allow for interactive segmentation of physician-identified lesions using user input of seed points, and regional analysis of such lesions with respect to size, shape, position and enhancement pattern, thus providing information to help physician's assessment of lesion characterization. The software is designed for use by trained physicians only. Physicians make all final patient management decisions. | | Device of 510(k) submission: | Predicate Device: | Predicate Device: | |------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | IQQA-Liver Software | Mevis LiverAnalyser /LiverViewer software | Volume Viewer Plus | | | | K051528 | K041521 | | Manufacturer | EDDA Technology, Inc. | Mevis Technology GMBH & CO.KG | GE Medical Systems | | Indications for Use | The IQQA-Liver is a PC- based, self-contained, non-invasive image analysis software application for reviewing serial multi-phase CT acquisitions of the liver.
