Intended Use
LiverMultiScan v5 (LMSv5) is indicated for use as a magnetic resonance diagnostic device software application for noninvasive liver evaluation that enables the generation, display and review of 2D magnetic resonance medical image data and pixel maps for MR relaxation times. LMSv5 is designed to utilize DICOM 3.0 compliant magnetic resonance image datasets, acquired from compatible MR Systems, to display the internal structure of the abdomen including the liver. Other physical parameters derived from the images may also be produced. LMSv5 provides several tools, such as automated liver segmentation and region of interest (ROI) placements, to be used for the assessment of selected regions of an image. Quantitative assessment of selected regions includes the determination of triglyceride fat fraction in the liver (PDFF), T2*, LIC (Liver Iron Concentration) and iron corrected T1 (cT1) measurements. These images and the physical parameters derived from the images, when interpreted by a trained clinician, yield information that may assist in diagnosis.
Device Story
LMSv5 is a standalone post-processing software device for liver evaluation. It ingests DICOM 3.0 MR image datasets from compatible scanners. The device uses machine-learning-based automated liver segmentation and artifact detection to assist operators in placing ROIs on parametric maps. It calculates quantitative metrics: PDFF, T2*, LIC, and cT1. The software generates a summary report for interpretation by a clinician. Used at Perspectum’s image analysis center by trained internal operators. The output assists clinicians in diagnosing and monitoring liver health. It does not replace clinical procedures or provide automated diagnoses; it serves as an aid to clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance validated via functional verification, phantom testing (accuracy/precision across physiological ranges), and in-vivo volunteer data to assess measurement precision across supported scanners. Inter- and intra-operator variability was evaluated. No clinical trials were required as the device is a post-processing software tool.
Technological Characteristics
Standalone software application; DICOM 3.0 compliant; platform-independent (installed on general-purpose workstations). Employs machine-learning for automated liver segmentation and artifact detection. Quantitative methods include IDEAL (for PDFF) and MOST (for LIC). No energy delivery or patient monitoring. Software level of concern: Moderate.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients suitable for MRI who are not contraindicated. Used for noninvasive liver evaluation, including quantification of PDFF, T2*, LIC, and cT1 measurements to assist clinicians in diagnosis.
Regulatory Classification

# Subject Device
#### General Description
LiverMultiScan v5 (LMSv5) is a standalone software device. The LiverMultiScan v5 device is to assist a trained operator with the evaluation of information from Magnetic Resonance (MR) images from a single time-point (a patient visit).
LiverMultiScan is a post-processing software device, a trained operator uses tools within the device interface to quantify liver tissue characteristics from parametric maps. LiverMultiScan v5 includes automatic processing functionality based on machine-learning to assist in the quantification of metrics during analysis, such as automatic artefact detection and automatic segmentation of the liver. A summary report from the analysis conducted is generated for interpretation by a clinician.
LiverMultiScan v5 is not intended to replace the established procedures for the assessment of a patient's liver health by a clinician, providing many opportunities for competent human intervention in the clinical care of patients.
The metrics are intended to be used as an additional diagnostic input to provide information to clinicians as part of a wider diagnostic process. It is expected that in the normal course of clinical care, patients with clinical symptoms or risk factors which may indicate liver disease. The interpreting clinician needs to take into consideration the device's limitations and accuracy during clinical interpretation.
Information gathered through existing diagnostic tests and clinical evaluation of the patient, as well as information obtained from LiverMultiScan v5 metrics, may contribute to a diagnostic decision.
LiverMultiScan v5 is not a computer-aided diagnostic device and can only present imaging information which must be interpreted by a qualified clinician. LiverMultiScan v5 is an aid to diagnosis and treatment decisions remain the responsibility of the clinician.

## Differences between subject and predicate devices
- The LMSv5 device offers additional quantification tools in its interface that are not available in the primary . predicate device, LMSv4. LMSv5 automatically detects artefacts on the and are delineated on the parametric map computed images as well as recommends slices to be used as the quantitative output of the device. Artefact areas are overlayed on the parametric maps to assist in quantification and interpretation.
