Indications for Use
FlightPlan for Liver is a post processing software package that helps the analysis of 3D X-ray images of the liver arterial tree. Its output is intended as an adjunct means to help identify arteries leading to the vicinity of hypervascular lesions in the liver. This adjunct information may be used by physicians to aid them in their evaluation of hepatic arterial anatomy during embolization procedures.
Device Story
FlightPlan for Liver is a post-processing software application for interventional fluoroscopy; it processes 3D rotational angiography images as input. The device operates on GE AW VolumeShare 4/5 platforms as an extension of the Volume Viewer application. It utilizes an algorithm to highlight potential vessels in the vicinity of a target lesion. The output is displayed to interventional oncologists/physicians to assist in evaluating hepatic arterial anatomy during chemoembolization procedures. It serves as an adjunct tool to aid clinical decision-making; it does not claim to improve clinical outcomes. The device is used in clinical settings by physicians.
Clinical Evidence
Retrospective study of 44 subjects (66 tumors) with hypervascular liver tumors treated by chemoembolization. Device output compared to reference reading by two senior interventional oncologists. Study demonstrated the device provides adjunct information for evaluating hepatic arterial anatomy. No claims of improved clinical outcomes.
Technological Characteristics
Post-processing software application; operates on AW VolumeShare 4/5 platforms. Complies with IEC 60601-1-4, IEC 62366, and IEC 62304. Utilizes 3D rotational angiography input. Includes vessel highlighting algorithm.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by physicians to aid in the evaluation of hepatic arterial anatomy during embolization procedures by identifying arteries leading to the vicinity of hypervascular liver lesions using 3D X-ray 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
