Indications for Use
syngo.via MI Workflows are medical diagnostic applications for viewing, manipulation, 3D- visualization and comparison of medical images from multiple imaging modalities and/or multiple time-points. The application supports functional data, such as PET or SPECT as well as anatomical datasets, such as CT or MR. syngo.via MI Workflows enable visualization of information that would otherwise have to be visually compared disjointedly. syngo.via MI Workflows provide analytical tools to help the user assess, and document changes in morphological or functional activity at diagnostic and therapy follow-up examinations. syngo.via MI Workflows can perform harmonization of SUV (PET) across different PET systems or different reconstruction methods. syngo.via MI workflows support the interpretation of examinations and follow up documentation of findings within healthcare institutions, for example, in Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Cardiology envirents. Note: The clinician retains the ultimate responsibility for making the pertinent diagnosis based on their standard practices and visual comparison of the separate unregistered images. syngo.via MI Workflows are a complement to these standard procedures.

#### Indications for Use
syngo.via MI Workflows are medical diaqnostic applications for viewing, manipulation, 3Dvisualization and comparison of medical images from multiple imaqinq modalities and/or multiple time-points. The application supports functional data, such as PET or SPECT as well as anatomical datasets, such as CT or MR.
{7}------------------------------------------------
syngo.via MI Workflows enable visualization of information that would otherwise have to be visually compared disiointedly. syngo.via MI Workflows provide analytical tools to help the user assess, and document changes in morphological or functional activity at diagnostic and therapy follow-up examinations. syngo.via MI Workflows can perform harmonization of SUV (PET) across different PET systems or different reconstruction methods.
syngo.via MI Workflows support the interpretation and evaluation of examinations and follow up documentation of findings within healthcare institutions, for example, in Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Cardiology environments.
Note: The clinician retains the ultimate responsibility for making the pertinent diagnosis based on their standard practices and visual comparison of the separate unreqistered images. syngo.via MI Workflows are a complement to these standard procedures.
## Statement Regarding Substantial Equivalence:
There are no differences in the Indications for Use or Fundamental Technological Characteristics of the synqo.via MI Workflows as compared to the currently commercially available software (K163421). Both devices are used for viewing, manipulation, 3Dvisualization and comparison of medical images from multiple imaqinq modalities and/or multiple time-points
Additionally, there have been no changes that raise any new issues of safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate device. Based on this information, as well as the documentation in support of the modifications, it is Siemens opinion that the syngo.via MI Workflows software with the modifications outlined in this application is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
