Intended Use

Zia™ Image Enhancement System is an image processing software that can be used for reducing noise in CT images. Enhanced images will be uploaded back to host/PACS systems and exist in conjunction to the original images. Zia™ is not intended for mammography applications. The device processing is not effective for lesion, mass, or abnormalities of sizes less than 2mm.

Device Story

Zia™ is image processing software for CT noise reduction; operates on remote PC; receives DICOM images from CT host; processes images via noise reduction algorithm; uploads enhanced images back to host/PACS. Used in clinical settings; operated by radiology staff. Core algorithm reduces noise in flat regions via regularization while preserving edges via data fidelity constraints. Enhanced images exist alongside originals; aids clinicians by improving signal-to-noise ratio; potentially benefits patients by providing clearer images for diagnostic review.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Validated using ACR CT Phantom (Model 464) on GE BrightSpeed 4-Slice, Siemens Sensation 16-Slice, and Philips Brilliance 64-Slice scanners. 81 datasets analyzed across various protocols (Head/Body, 80/120kV, 150-350mAs, 1.25-5mm slice thickness). Results showed ≥10% noise reduction, CT# accuracy within ±1HU, and preserved high/low contrast resolution.

Technological Characteristics

Software-based image enhancement; runs on Windows 7 PC; requires CUDA-supported graphics card. Input/Output: DICOM. Algorithm: Regularization-based noise reduction with data fidelity constraints. Connectivity: Networked with CT host/PACS. No physical materials or energy sources.

Indications for Use

Indicated for noise reduction in CT images. Not for mammography. Not effective for lesions, masses, or abnormalities < 2mm.

#### 3. Predicate Device:

Context Vision Sharp View Image Enhancement System, K024028

# 4. Indications for Use:

Zia™ Image Enhancement System is an image processing software that can be used for reducing noise in CT images. Enhanced images will be uploaded back to host/PACS systems and exist in conjunction to the original images. Zia™ is not intended for mammography applications. The device processing is not effective for lesion, mass, or abnormalities of sizes less than 2mm.

# 5. Device Description:

Zia™ Image Enhancement System is an image processing software that can be used for reducing noise in CT images. Zia™ image enhancement software is based on a core noise reduction algorithm that reduces noise in flat regions via a regularization process while keeping the edges via data fidelity constrains. The software, which is installed on a remote computer, receives DICOM images from CT host computer (Zia DICOM node needs to be configured on the scanner), automatically processes the received images and uploads the post processed images back on to the host computer and/or other PACS systems. Enhanced images exist in conjunction to the original images.

# 6. Substantial Equivalence Table

The subject device Zia™ is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, Sharp View Image Enhancement System, which is also used for image enhancement. The main difference is that Sharp View Image Enhancement System is multimodality image transfer/storage/enhancement system where as Zia (as of 10/27/2016) is strictly a CT

# 7. Performance Testing:

Zia™ has been designed, verified and validated in compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 820 requirements. The device has been validated through the use of ACR CT PHANTOM (Model 464) on a GE BrightSpeed 4-Slice, Siemens Sensation 16-Slice and Philips Brilliance 64-Slice scanners. Original images were acquired using a Head 120KV, Head 80KV, and Body 120KV protocols respectively. For each protocol, three mAs were selected in the range of 150-350mAs (150mAs, 250mAs, 350mAs), and three slice thickness were

{5}------------------------------------------------

selected in the range of 1.25-5mm (1.25mm, 2.5mm, 5mm). All original images were reconstructed using filtered back projection, standard kernel, and matrix size of 512x512. A total of 81 datasets were processed and analyzed including noise, CT# (signal), low contrast resolution and high contrast resolution. CT# was measured as an average of pixel values of each ROI encompassing the four inserts (Acrylic, Bone, Polyethylene and Air) in the CT# module. Noise was measured as standard deviation of pixel values of an ROI placed at the center of the noise module as well as the four ROIs encompassing the four inserts. The results demonstrated that the system meets all defined specifications. Table-2 below summarizes the performance test results. A noise reduction of at-least 10% while maintaining CT# accuracy within +/-1HU indicates that the device is able to increase signal to noise ratio in the processed images.

## 8. Safety and Effectiveness:

Based on the software test results and the information supplied in this 510(k), we conclude that this device is safe, effective, and substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

#### 9. Conclusion:

Zia™ is an image enhancement software which has similar indications for use as predicate device. The main difference is that the predicate device is a multimodality image transfer/storage/enhancement system where as Zia (as of 10/27/2016) is strictly a CT image enhancement system. Performance testing, along with verification and validation activities demonstrate that Zia™ is as safe and effective as predicate device.
