Intended Use

The purpose of IGTFusion is to assist the user with the visual evaluation and comparison of information between anatomical and functional images from a single patient. The supported modalities are CT, PET, and MR.

Device Story

IGTFusion is a stand-alone software application designed to streamline medical image fusion. It ingests DICOM-conformant anatomical and functional images (CT, PET, MR) from PACS or imaging equipment. The device performs image registration and fusion, providing a simplified visualization interface for clinicians. Unlike complex workstations, it functions as a fusion appliance, minimizing user interaction to facilitate integration into larger clinical workflow pipelines. It omits advanced visualization features like volume rendering and annotations. The output is displayed to the physician to aid in patient evaluation and clinical decision-making. It does not replace standard visual comparison procedures; clinicians must consider the device's limitations and accuracy during final interpretation. The device is intended for use in clinical settings such as radiology and oncology departments.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical studies were conducted. Performance was established through non-clinical testing, including adherence to AAMI/ANSI/ISO 14971:2007/(R)2010 (risk management) and AAMI/ANSI/IEC 62304:2006 (software life cycle processes).

Technological Characteristics

Stand-alone software for DICOM image registration and fusion. Supports CT, PET, and MR modalities. Operates as a streamlined fusion appliance. Compliant with AAMI/ANSI/IEC 62304:2006 software life cycle standards. Does not include advanced visualization features like volume rendering or annotations.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use by physicians in diagnostic radiology, oncology, radiation therapy planning, interventional radiology, and other medical specialties to display, register, and fuse DICOM-conformant medical imaging data (CT, PET, MR) for a single patient. Not intended for mammography diagnosis.

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

The user needs to take into consideration the product's limitations and accuracy when integration from the registration results for final interpretation. IGTFusion does not replace the usual procedures for visual comparison of datasets by a user. Fusion images are intended to provide additional information to a user's existing workflow for patient evaluation. The potential hazards associated with this software product are no different from those of other PACS components and may be variously obviated by decisions made by the user of the product. None of these failures are expected to contribute to patient death or injury. In consequence, IGTFusion is considered to have no adverse effect on health since the results represent only a part of the information that a user will utilize for final interpretation. In this regard, IGT Fusion represents a moderate level of concern with respect to patient safety. {6}------------------------------------------------ #### Indications for Use: IGTFusion is a stand-alone software product that provides the physician 3 means for comparison of medical imaging data from multiple DICOM conformant imaging modality sources. It allows the display, registration and fusing of medical images as an aid during use by diagnostic radiology, oncology, radiation therapy planning, interventional radiology and other medical Specialties. IGTFusion is not intended for mammography diagnosis. #### Intended Use: The purpose of IGTFusion is to assist the user with the visual evaluation and comparison of information between anatomical and functional images from a single patient. The supported modalities are CT, PET, and MR. #### Substantial Equivalence Discussion: Discussion of Technological Similarities: IGTFusion, Mirada RTx and VelocityAlS have the same visualization capabilities, registration, DICOM Compliance and each has a Graphical User Interface. IGTFusion and VelocityAlS both have same reporting capabilities. Discussion of Technological Differences: While the core features of IGTFusion match with existing predicate devices, the packaging of how those features are delivered are different. Instead of providing a complex workstation with many extra features for interaction and visualization, IGTFusion provides only the essential representations to streamline the process of utilizing fusion visualization. Instead of requiring a clinician to sit at a workstation or log on remotely to a software GUI, IGTFusion is more like a fusion appliance, providing quick fusion visualization with a minimum of interaction required. After a floating image is selected, clinicians may push a series of interest from PACS or even directly from imaging equipment for quick visualization. Such minimal activity also lends itself more easily into larger workflow processing pipelines which are generating and consuming images for more complex applications. This approach is founded on our image registration engine which has been extensively tested to show that is as accurate existing solutions without the need of extra tools. This general approach also lends itself to avoiding advanced visualization features such volume rendering and annotations, which strictly enhance (i.e. are not required for) image fusion. These differences raise no new issues of safety and effectiveness. Non-Clinical Performance Standards: - . AAMI / ANSI / ISO 14971:2007/(R)2010 (Corrected 4 October 2007), Medical devices - Applications of risk management to medical devices - . AAMI / ANSI / IEC 62304:2006, Medical device software life cycle processes - Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices, dated May 11, 2005 Clinical Studies: {7}------------------------------------------------ No clinical studies were conducted. Conclusion: The proposed device (IGTFusion) does not result in any new potential safety risk and performs in accordance with its intended use as well as comparatively with the intended use of the chosen predicates. We conclude that IGTFusion is as safe and effective as the predicate device and poses no unanswered questions regarding safety and efficacy.
