Intended Use
DeltaView is intended to generate a secondary residual image based on a current and prior chest x-ray image of the same patient.
Device Story
DeltaView is a post-processing software application for chest radiography. It takes current and prior chest X-ray images of the same patient as input. The device registers these images, performs bone suppression, and subtracts normalized image pairs to generate a secondary 'residual' image. This output highlights areas of change between the two exams. Used in clinical settings by radiologists and physicians, the device acts as an adjunct to standard interpretation. By obscuring unchanged anatomy, it assists clinicians in identifying suspicious, changing lung nodules. The device automates the manual clinical practice of comparing serial radiographs, potentially improving diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for actionable nodules.
Clinical Evidence
Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) reader study evaluated diagnostic performance in detecting actionable lung nodules. Study compared radiologist performance with and without DeltaView using Localized Receiver Operating Characteristic (LROC) analysis. Results showed a statistically significant increase in the area under the LROC curve (AUCLROC) from 0.477 to 0.536 (12.4% improvement, p = 2.9E-05). Metrics included sensitivity, specificity, and positive/negative predictive values.
Technological Characteristics
Post-processing software application for radiological image processing. Utilizes bone suppression mechanisms and image registration/subtraction algorithms. Operates on digital chest X-ray image pairs. Class II device (Product Code LLZ).
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients at risk of lung nodules. Used by trained professionals (physicians/radiologists) to generate a secondary residual image from current and prior chest X-rays to improve detection of changing lung nodules. Not for pediatric use. Not a substitute for original PA/AP images.
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).

#### Comparison to Predicate Device:
DeltaView is substantially equivalent to the cited predicate device. Differences in the design and performance from the cited predicate device do not affect either the safety or effectiveness of Delta View for its intended use.
Conclusion: DeltaView is a mathematical model of the current medical practice of manually comparing radiographic images. Radiologists routinely compare prior and current chest x-rays from the same patient, when available, to ascertain whether pathological change has occurred. The comparison requires the radiologist to associate regions of interest and neutralize the acquisition effects. Delta View facilitates the comparison process through the automated formation of a difference image, by registering and subtracting a difference of normalized, bone suppressed image pairs. DeltaView achieves this using a variety of advanced image processing and pattern recognition methods. Just as the cited predicate device removes obstructions from a chest X-ray image in order to enhance the radiologist's detection of suspicious structures, so DeltaView obscures the unchanged portions of patient images taken over time in order to enhance the radiologist's detection of suspicious, changed structures. Furthermore, DeltaView uses the same bone suppression mechanism as the predicate device as part of its residual image algorithm. There are no new issues of safety and effectiveness raised by the incorporation of the predicate device's bone suppression in this new device. Reader Study Results: In a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) reader study, radiologists interpreted pairs of images in order to compare the radiologists' ability to detect valid change when they were aided by the DeltaView image. Localized receiver operating characteristic curves (in terms of the trade-off between sensitivity and specificity when the decision criteria change) were used to evaluate radiologists' diagnostic performance in the detection of actionable lung nodules on chest radiographs with and without the usage of DeltaView. The results indicated that DeltaView should be
{2}------------------------------------------------
a useful adjunct for the interpretation of chest radiographs when looking for a change in a lung nodule.
The objective of the study was to demonstrate that a radiologist's results when using DeltaView images are superior to the radiologist's results when using standard prior and current AP/PA x-ray image pairs alone. Localized Receiver Operating Characteristic (LROC) Analysis and analyses for Sensitivity, Specificity, and Positive and Negative Predictive Value were performed. The research hypothesis indicating superiority was that the upper 95% confidence limit on the differences in the area under the DeltaView LROC curve (AUCDV) subtracted from the area under the Unaided LROC curve (AUCUA) is greater than or equal to 0.0.
There were significant changes when the DeltaView difference image was used. The area under the LROC curve (AUCLROC) increased from 0.477 to 0.536 (12.4%) (p = 2.9E-05)
Substantial Equivalence: The reader study described above used similar methods and achieved similar results to the reader study that was reviewed by FDA when clearing the predicate device (K092363). In both cases, an image processing application generates a secondary image for the radiologist to view, and in both cases, the use of this secondary image resulted in a statistically significant improvement in the radiologist's ability to detect actionable lung nodules.
> It should also be noted that Delta View automates the current clinical reading practice of manually comparing a current radiographic image with a prior image from the same patient.
