Intended Use

Registration and Fusion (Basic and Extended) are intended for the simultaneous visualization of multiple medical images of the same patient. The application can assist the user in visually matching and comparing anatomical studies taken at different times or acquired via different imaging modalities (Basic: CT-CT, CT-MR, MR-MR, Extended: CT-PET, MR-PET) as well as assist in making measurements. It is primarily used in the fields of diagnostic radiology, neurology and oncology.

Device Story

Registration and Fusion is a PACS plug-in software for image analysis. It inputs DICOM 3.0 compliant 3-D medical data sets from PET, MR, and CT imaging. The device performs rigid registration, computing an explicit mathematical transformation to align images geometrically. It produces fused outputs via semitransparent overlays or side-by-side displays. Used in radiology, oncology, and neurology departments by trained professionals (radiologists, referring physicians, radiation therapists, physicists, radiographers). The software runs on Agfa Impax PACS workstations. Clinicians use the output to navigate to identical anatomical locations across different studies, facilitating comparison of lesions and treatment follow-up. It also supports SUV and image intensity quantification.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. The device was tested for compatibility with Agfa Impax PACS systems. No clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

PACS plug-in software; runs on Windows-based workstations (Impax 5.3/6.3). Processes DICOM 3.0 compliant 3-D image data (CT, MR, PET). Employs rigid registration algorithms and provides SUV/image intensity quantification. Connectivity via PACS network.

Indications for Use

Indicated for simultaneous visualization of multiple medical images of the same patient to assist in visually matching and comparing anatomical studies (CT-CT, CT-MR, MR-MR, CT-PET, MR-PET) and making measurements. Used in diagnostic radiology, neurology, and oncology.

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).

LEGALLY MARKETED PREDICATE DEVICES This is a 510(k) for Agfa's Registration and Fusion software. The predicate device, Mirage 5.5 (K043441), manufactured by Segami Corporation. The new device is similar in indications and intended use as the predicate device. #### DEVICE DESCRIPTION B. Medical Data Registration and Fusion R 1.0 is a PACS plug-in (accessory). It is an image analysis software package that establishes the geometrical relationship between different DICOM 3.0 compliant 3-D medical data sets from PET, MR and CT imaging (registration"). The matched images are displayed (fusion') by either the use of semitransparent overlays or by displaying them side-by-side. Registration and fusion facilitates the comparison of PET/CT, PET/MRI, CT/CT, MRI/MRI, CT/MRI image data sets for use in: - The general radiology department for various lesions. ● - The oncology department for various cancerous lesions. . Definitions Image Registration: The alignment of one or more [medical] images to a reference image in order to facilitate geometric comparison. This is a numerical operation that results in the computation of an explicit mathematical transformation between every point in the registered image sets. mage Fusion: Registration forms the basis of image fusion in the sense that the geometrical alignment of images is a prerequisite. The notion of "fusion" takes this a step further by considering how to visualize the ttent of different images representing the same object [organ, anatomical region, etc.]. Such techniques include the use of overlays, semi-transparent renderings, etc. {1}------------------------------------------------ K080013 pg-2 of 3 - The neurology department for various lesions. . The rigid registration used in the application, aims to help the clinician navigate to the same anatomical location in both image sets. The Medical Data Registration and Fusion software runs on Agfa's PACS workstations (Impax 5.3 and 6.3 workstations). Typical users of this system are trained professionals, including but not limited to radiologists, referring physicians, radiation therapists, and physicists. Registration may also be used by radiographers for use of the images by radiologists. Registration and fusion has application in general radiology, oncology and neurology. #### C. INTENDED USE Registration and Fusion (Basic and Extended) are intended for the simultaneous visualization of multiple medical images of the same patient. The application can assist the user in visually matching and comparing anatomical studies taken at different times or acquired via different imaging modalities (Basic: CT-CT, CT-MR, MR-MR, Extended: CT-PET, MR-PET) as well as assist in making measurements. It is primarily used in the fields of diagnostic radiology, neurology and oncology. #### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE SUMMARY D. Agfa's Registration and Fusion Software has similar indications and intended use as the legally marketed predicate devices. The differences do not modify the intended diagnostic or therapeutic effect. It is intended for registering and fusing volumetric medical image data sets for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment follow-up. Registration and Fusion is used primarily in the fields of general radiology department for various lesions, oncology for various cancerous lesions and neurology for various lesions. Descriptive characteristics and data provided in this submission are sufficiently precise to assure substantial equivalence. #### ய் TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS The technological characteristics are the same in the proposed and predicate device. All devices use similar, commercially available, computers with Windows® operating systems. All operate on DICOM images. All provide rigid registration of CT, MR and PET image data sets {2}------------------------------------------------ K080013 PG. 3 of 3 and SUV / Image intensity quantification. ## F.
