Intended Use

nordicICE is an image processing software package to be used by trained professionals including but not limited to physicians and medical technicians. The software runs on a standard "off-the-shelf" PC workstation and can be used to perform image viewing, processing and analysis of medical images. Data and images are acquired through DICOM compliant imaging devices and modalities. nordicICE provides both viewing and analysis capabilities of functional and dynamic imaging datasets acquired with MRI or other relevant modalities, including blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) fMRI, diffusion weighted MRI (DWI) / fiber tracking and dynamic analysis. BOLD fMRI: BOLD analysis is used to highlight small magnetic susceptibility changes in the human brain in areas with altered blood-flow resulting from neuronal activity. DWI/Fiber Tracking: Diffusion analysis is used to visualize local water diffusion properties from the analysis of diffusion-weighted MRI data. Fiber tracking utilize the directional dependency of the diffusion to display the white matter structure in the brain. Dynamic Analysis: Dynamic analysis is used for visualization and analysis of dynamic imaging data, showing properties of changes in contrast over time where such techniques are useful or necessary.

Device Story

nordicICE is a medical image viewing, analysis, and processing software package. It accepts DICOM-compliant imaging data, primarily from MRI systems. The software operates on standard off-the-shelf Windows PC workstations. Imaging professionals use the software to perform BOLD fMRI analysis (highlighting magnetic susceptibility changes related to neuronal activity), DWI/fiber tracking (visualizing water diffusion and white matter structure), and dynamic analysis (evaluating contrast changes over time). The software provides visual displays and quantitative analysis of these datasets. Clinicians use these outputs to visualize brain function and structure, aiding in clinical decision-making. The device benefits patients by providing advanced visualization and analysis of complex functional and dynamic MRI datasets.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Software-based image processing package. Operates on standard off-the-shelf Windows PC workstations. Inputs via DICOM-compliant imaging modalities. Functionality includes BOLD fMRI analysis, DWI/fiber tracking, and dynamic imaging analysis.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use by trained professionals (physicians, medical technicians) to view, process, and analyze medical images (primarily MRI) acquired via DICOM-compliant modalities. Includes BOLD fMRI for brain blood-flow analysis, DWI/fiber tracking for white matter structure visualization, and dynamic analysis for contrast-over-time imaging.

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).

## Device Description

nordiclCE (nlCE) - Nordic Image Control and Evaluation software - is a medical viewing, analysis, and processing package developed with a view to ease of use and high performance on a standard Windows platform. The software provides a wide range of basic image processing and manipulation functions, in addition to comprehensive functionality for dynamic image analysis and processing/display of functional MRI (fMRI) data. The main user of the program will be imaging professionals who need to visualize and analyze images taken primarily from a MRI system.

### Intended Use

nordiclCE is an image processing software package to be used by trained professionals including but not limited to physicians and medical technicians. The software runs on a standard "off-the-shelf" PC workstation and can be used to perform image viewing, processing and analysis of medical images. Data and images are acquired through DICOM compliant imaging devices and modalities.

nordicICE provides both viewing and analysis capabilities of functional and dynamic imaging datasets acquired with MRI or other relevant modalities, including blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) fMRI, diffusion weighted MRI (DWI) / fiber tracking and dynamic analysis.

BOLD fMRI: BOLD analysis is used to highlight small magnetic susceptibility changes in the human brain in areas with altered blood-flow resulting from neuronal activity.

DWI/Fiber Tracking: Diffusion analysis is used to visualize local water diffusion properties from the analysis of diffusion-weighted MRI data. Fiber tracking utilize the directional dependency of the diffusion to display the white matter structure in the brain.

Dynamic Analysis: Dynamic analysis is used for visualization and analysis of dynamic imaging data, showing properties of changes in contrast over time where such techniques are useful or necessary.

### Substantial Equivalence

nordicICE has been verified and validated according to NIL's procedures for product design and development. The validation proves the safety and effectiveness of the system. The information provided by nordicICE was found to be substantially equivalent with the predicate device Nordic Image Control and Evaluation (nordicICE) Software (K063539).
