Intended Use

Impax Volume Viewing software is a visualization package for PACS workstations. It is intended to support radiographer, medical imaging technician, radiologist and referring physician in the reading, analysis and diagnosis of DICOM compliant volumetric medical datasets. The software is a general purpose digital medical image processing tool, with optional functionality to facilitate visualization and measurement of vessel features. Other optional functionality is intended for the registration of anatomical (CT) on functional volumerric image data (MR) to facilitate the comparison of various lesions. Volume and distance measurements are intended for evaluation and quantification of tumor measurements, and other analysis and evaluation of both hard and soft tissues. The software also supports interactive segmentation of a region of interest (ROI).

Device Story

Impax Volume Viewing is a software accessory for PACS workstations used by radiologists, technicians, and physicians. It inputs DICOM-compliant volumetric medical datasets (e.g., CT, MR). The software provides tools for 3D volume rendering, multi-planar reconstruction (MPR), curved planar reformation (CPR), and intensity projections (MIP/MiniP/AveIP). It enables automatic or manual registration/fusion of multi-modality datasets, interactive segmentation of regions of interest (ROI), and vessel analysis. Outputs include visualized images, color maps, subtraction views, and quantitative measurements (volume/distance) for tumor evaluation and tissue analysis. Clinicians use these outputs to assist in reading, analysis, and diagnosis of medical images. The device facilitates clinical decision-making by providing enhanced visualization and quantification of anatomical and functional data.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical trials were performed. Substantial equivalence is supported by verification and validation testing confirming the device meets performance, measurement, and usability requirements.

Technological Characteristics

Software accessory for PACS. Features: 3D volume rendering, MPR, CPR, MIP, fusion/subtraction, vessel segmentation, and measurement tools. Connectivity: DICOM-compliant. Standards: EN12435:2006, ISO 14971:2007, ISO 13485:2003. Operates on PACS workstations.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use by radiographers, medical imaging technicians, radiologists, and referring physicians to read, analyze, and diagnose DICOM-compliant volumetric medical datasets. Supports visualization/measurement of vessel features, registration of anatomical (CT) and functional (MR) data for lesion comparison, tumor quantification, and soft/hard tissue analysis.

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).

Predicate Devices

• Agfa Registration and Fusion software (K080013)
• Voxar 3D Enterprise with ColonMetrix and PET/CT Perfusion (K070831)

## 510(K) SUMMARY: IMPAX VOLUME VIEWING

Common/Classification Name: Picture Archiving and Communications System 21 CFR 892.2050 Proprietary Name: Impax Volume Viewing Agfa HealthCare N.V. Septestraat 27 B-2640 Mortsel Belgium Contact: Koen Cobbaert, Prepared: May 6, 2011 Telephone: [phone]

#### LEGALLY MARKETED PREDICATE DEVICES A.

This is a 510(k) for Agfa's Impax Volume Viewing software, which is an accessory to its Impax picture archiving and communications systems. It is substantially equivalent to Agfa's Registration and Fusion software (K080013) in the majority of its functionality and to the Voxar 3D Enterprise with ColonMetrix and PET/CT Perfusion (K070831) with respect to its vessel viewing functionality.

#### B. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The new device is similar to the predicate devices. All are PACS system accessories that allow the user to view and manipulate three dimensional image data sets.

Principles of operation and technological characteristics of the new and predicate devices are the same. The intended uses of the new and predicate devices are also the same.

#### c. INTENDED USE

Impax Volume Viewing software is a visualization package for PACS workstations. It is intended to support radiographer, medical imaging technician, radiologist and referring physician in the reading, analysis and diagnosis of DICOM compliant volumetric medical datasets. The software is a general purpose digital medical image processing tool, with optional functionality to facilitate visualization and measurement of vessel features.

Other optional functionality is intended for the registration of anatomical (CT) on functional volumerric image data (MR) to facilitate the comparison of various lesions. Volume and distance measurements are intended for evaluation and quantification of tumor measurements, and other analysis and evaluation of both hard and soft tissues. The software also supports interactive segmentation of a region of interest (ROI).

#### D. SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE SUMMARY

Agfa's Impax Volume Viewing has an Indications For Use Statement largely similar to the statements for the two predicate. Intended uses are the same. As software accessories to PACS systems, the predicate and new devices have the same technological characteristics. Software is used to identify characteristic patterns within 3D image data which the user can then view and manipulate. Descriptive characteristics and performance data are adequate to ensure equivalence.

Differences in the new device and the predicates do not alter their intended therapeutic/diagnostic effects.
