Intended Use

The vRad PACS with Mammography software is used with general purpose computing hardware which meets or exceeds minimum specifications. vRad PACS with Mammography is intended to receive, transmit, store, and display images for clinical purposes and is comprised of three components: Viewer, Storage, and Cache. The vRad PACS Viewer component is intended for installation on an off-the-shelf g minimum specifications and networked with vRad PACS Storage component. The vRad PACS Viewer is intended to serve as the primary user interface for the processing of medical images for presentation on displays appropriate to the medical task being performed. The vRad PACS Viewer can process medical images from DICOM modalities such as X-ray radiography, Xray computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, and images from other DICOMcompliant modalities. The vRad Storage component is intended to handle the DICOM protocol and store images as DICOM files to a location where they can be read by vRad PACS Cache and transmitted to radiologists' workstations for viewing by the vRad PACS Viewer. vRad PACS with Mammography may be used for the display, manipulation, and interpretation of lossless compressed or non-compressed mammography images that have been received in the DICOM "For Presentation" format and displayed on a monitor that meets technical specifications reviewed and cleared by FDA.

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).
