Intended Use
SIS Software is an application intended for use in the viewing, presentation of medical imaging, including different modules for image fusion, and intraoperative functional planning where the 3D output can be used with stereotactic image quided surgery or other devices for further processing and visualization. The device can be used in conjunction with other clinical methods as an aid in visualization of the subthalamic nuclei (STN).
Device Story
SIS Software is a medical imaging application for viewing, presentation, and intraoperative functional planning. It takes standard clinical MRI (1.5T or 3T) as input and uses a machine learning algorithm trained on a reference database of high-resolution 7T MRI images to identify and segment the subthalamic nucleus (STN). The device generates a patient-specific 3D anatomical model of the STN, which is exported to stereotactic image-guided surgery systems. Used by surgeons, neurologists, and radiologists in clinical settings, the software supplements standard clinical methods to improve visualization of brain structures not easily seen on standard MRI. By providing more accurate anatomical localization, the device assists in neurosurgical planning, potentially improving surgical precision and patient outcomes.
Clinical Evidence
Validation study used 34 subjects (68 STNs) scanned with both clinical (1.5T/3T) and high-field (7T) MRI. Data was independent of the training/development set. Primary endpoints: center of mass distance, surface distance, and Dice coefficient. Results: 95% of center of mass distances ≤ 2.0mm (p<0.0001 vs. standard of care); 100% of surface distances ≤ 2.0mm. Mean Dice coefficient was 0.64. Bench testing using leave-one-out cross-validation on 10 subjects showed 1mm average distance error.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based medical imaging application. Uses machine learning and image processing algorithms to generate 3D segmented anatomical models from 1.5T or 3T MRI scans by referencing a database of 7T MRI images. Performs image fusion, slice-by-slice segmentation, and 3D object conversion. Supports export to stereotactic planning systems. Operates on standard clinical imaging hardware.
Indications for Use
Indicated for medical professionals, including surgeons, neurologists, and radiologists, as an aid in the visualization of the subthalamic nuclei (STN) and for intraoperative functional planning using medical imaging.

# Intended Use / Indications for Use
SIS Software is an application intended for use in the viewing, presentation and documentation of medical imaging, including different modules for image processing, image fusion, and intraoperative functional planning where the 3D output can be used with stereotactic image guided surgery or other devices for further processing and visualization. The device can be used in coniunction with other clinical methods as an aid in visualization of the subthalamic nuclei (STN).
Typical users of the SIS Software are medical professionals, including but not limited to surgeons, neurologists and radiologists.
# Technological Characteristics
SIS Software uses machine learning and image processing to enhance standard clinical images for the visualization of the subthalamic nucleus ("STN"). The SIS Software supplements the information available through standard clinical methods, providing additional, adjunctive information to surgeons, neurologists and radiologists for use in visualization and planning stereotactic surgical procedures. SIS Software provides a patient
{4}------------------------------------------------
specific, 3D anatomical model of the patient's own brain structures that supplements other clinical information to facilitate visualization in neurosurqical procedures. The software makes use of the fact that some structures in the brain are not easily visualized in 1.5T or 3T clinical MRJ, but are better visualized using high-resolution and high-contrast 7T MRI.
The company's software methodology relies on a reference database of high-resolution brain images (7T MRI) and standard clinical brain images (1.5T or 3T MRI). The 7T images allow visualization of anatomical structures that are then used to find regions of interest within the brain (i.e., the STN) on a patient's clinical image.
SIS visualization is incorporated in the standard clinical MR data, thereby not changing the current standard-of-care workflow protocol and does not require any additional visualization software or hardware platforms.
### Performance Data
Developmental testing of the reference database was performed using 10 subject datasets that were retrospectively selected from the locked SIS reference database. For each of the selected datasets, the patient's 7T MRI and labeled structures were excluded from the dataset, such that only the corresponding clinical MRI image remained for the test. The subject machine-learning method then predicted the subthalamic nucleus (STN) on these removed datasets and this prediction was compared to the STN as segmented on the 7T image of that subject to validate the prediction when the tested subject was removed from the dataset (standard leave-one-out statistical procedure). The average distance between the predicted and the original (on the 7T) was 1mm, the actual size of the pixel (data resolution). The overlap between the 3D predicted and the original STN was significantly better (p<0.05) in comparison to the overall of a standard atlas and the original STN.
The pivotal validation testing of the subject device, including the reference database, included images from 34 subjects to validate the performance of the SIS Software. A set of 68 STNs (from 34 subjects) were scanned with both clinical MRI (1.5T and 3T) and High Field (7T) MRI. None of the 68 STNs were part of the company's database for algorithm development and none were used to optimize or design the company's software. Thus, this validation data set was completely separate from the data set that was used for development. The software development was frozen and labeled before tested on this validation set.
Three measurements were used to compare the SIS visualization via the subject software and ground truth STNs (manually segmented clinical images and 7T images superimposed): (1) Center of mass distance; (2) Surface distance; and (3) Dice coefficient values.
In sum, 90% of the center of mass distances and surface distances were below 1.9mm and 0.8mm, respectively. Specifically, 95% of the center of mass distances and 100% of the surface distances were not greater than 2.0mm. Thus, the study met the pre-specified criteria of 90% of center of mass distances and surface distances not greater than 2.0mm. Furthermore, the proportion of visualizations not greater than 2.0mm was conservatively estimated from the literature to be 20%. Therefore, the rate of successful visualizations from SIS Software (95% of the center of mass distances not greater than 2.0mm) is significantly greater than the standard of care (p<0.0001). The corresponding confidence intervals are as follows:
{5}------------------------------------------------
- (a) 90% of the center of mass distances and surface distances were below 1.9mm and 0.8mm, respectively (95% CI: 80.74 - 95.56%);
- (b) 95% of the center of mass distances were not greater than 2.0mm (95% C): 86.91 98.37%):
- (c) 100% of the surface distances were not greater than 2.0mm (95% Cl: 94.25 100%).
In addition, the Dice coefficient in this dataset was 0.64, which was expected given the small size of the STN.
In sum, the SIS Software performed as intended and clinical validation data results observed were as expected.
# Substantial Equivalence
With regard to technological characteristics, both the SIS Software and the predicates (K050438; K081512) are all software applications that can be used for visualization, presentation and documentation of medical imaging, including different modules for image processing, image fusion, intraoperative functional planning where the 2D or 3D output can be used with stereotactic image guided surgery or other devices for further processing and visualization. In addition, the SIS Software, like the identified predicate and reference devices, use proprietary algorithms to generate 3D segmented anatomical models from patient's MRI scans.
The SIS Software and predicate devices also all perform image fusion of datasets using automated or manual image matching techniques. Below provides a summary comparison between the SIS Software and the predicate and reference devices.
