Intended Use

Multi Modality Viewer is an option within Vitrea that allows the examination and manipulation of a series of medical images obtained from MRI, CT, CR, DX, RG, RF, US, XA, PET, and PET/CT scanners. The option also enables clinicians to compare multiple series for the same patient, side-by-side, and switch to other integrated applications to further examine the data.

Device Story

Multi Modality Viewer is a software option within the Vitrea system for viewing/manipulating medical images (MRI, CT, CR, DX, RG, RF, US, XA, PET, PET/CT). It enables side-by-side comparison of studies, 2D/3D visualization, and advanced image processing. Clinicians use it to perform measurements, annotations, and segmentations (bone/table). It includes automated rigid registration for current/prior studies. The device is used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals. Output is displayed on the Vitrea interface, assisting clinicians in diagnostic review and clinical decision-making. Benefits include improved workflow efficiency and enhanced visualization of anatomical structures.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical studies were required. Evidence consists of bench testing, software verification, and validation. Validation included workflow testing and external clinical reviews by three evaluators at three clinical sites, confirming functionality, image quality, and safety compared to reference devices. No negative feedback was recorded.

Technological Characteristics

Radiological image processing software; DICOM compliant. Features include 2D/3D rendering, MPR, MIP/MinIP, automated segmentation (bone/table), and automated rigid registration. Connectivity via Vitrea system. Software lifecycle follows IEC 62304. Risk management per ISO 14971.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use by qualified healthcare professionals (radiologists, non-radiology specialists, physicians, technologists) to examine and manipulate medical images from MRI, CT, CR, DX, RG, RF, US, XA, PET, and PET/CT scanners. No specific patient population, disease, or condition is applicable as it is a general medical image viewer.

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).

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
