Intended Use
The CARESTREAM PACS is an image management system whose intended use is to provide completely scaleable local and wide area PACS solutions for hospital and related institutions/sites, which will archive, distribute, retrieve and display images and data from all hospital modalities and information systems. The system contains interactive tools in order to ease the process of analyzing and comparing three dimensional (3D) images. It is a single system that integrates the review, dictation and reporting tools that creates a productive work environment for the radiologists and physicians.
Device Story
Carestream PACS is a multi-modality radiology reading and reporting station for hospitals/clinics. It ingests volumetric data from various modalities (CT, MRI, PET). Core functionality includes 3D image registration and PET-CT analysis. Registration methods include: Full Automatic (user-initiated, no point selection); Manual (user-defined anatomical points); Refine (local similarity-based adjustment); and Treat as Registered (bypassing frame-of-reference checks). PET-CT analysis includes standardized uptake value (SUV) calculation for semi-quantitative assessment of FDG uptake. Radiologists and physicians use the system to review, dictate, and report findings. By synchronizing and superimposing volumetric datasets, the device facilitates comparative analysis of studies taken at different times or via different modalities, aiding clinical decision-making and diagnostic workflow efficiency.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing was conducted to verify design outputs against design inputs and to validate conformance to user needs. Nonclinical testing was performed under simulated use conditions. Predefined acceptance criteria were met, demonstrating performance equivalent to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Multi-modality radiology reading and reporting station. Software-based image processing. Rigid space transformation algorithm for 3D registration. Supports DICOM-compliant image data. Features include volumetric synchronization, side-by-side/superimposed viewing, and SUV calculation for PET-CT.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by radiologists and physicians in hospital and clinical settings for the management, analysis, and comparison of multi-modality medical images, including 3D registration and PET-CT image review.
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:
Carestream PACS, a multi-modality radiology reading and reporting station, provides support for 3D registration of studies taken at different times or by different modalities (CT and MRI), and for reading PET-CT images. The volumetric data sets are synchronized allowing the user to view reformatted series side by side and superimposed images. In all methods the algorithm is only using a rigid space transformation.
The registration in the "Volume Matching" application can be created by these methods:
. Register Studies
Full Automatic registration: The user is able to register two datasets by simply clicking on the windows that present these datascts, with no other additional input. The algorithm will not take into account the exact clicking points.
- Manually Register Studies .
The user is able to "manually" register two datasets by providing additional inputs to the registration algorithm. The matching of the two volumes is done based on the planes of the two studies and on the position of the two clicking points. This input should be enough to match the two dataset. The user should try to click on the same anatomical location in both studies. while both planes are already swiveled to represent the same anatomical plane.
- . Refine Registration
The user is able to adjust the registration. The refine algorithm is actually a local registration algorithm that tries to match two volumes based on local, rather than global, similarity. Practically, it can serve the user when he/she wants to focus on a certain region and to compare it in the two datasets. In such cases, local registration is preferable, even if it means that the global registration will be of a poorer quality.
- Treat Studies as Registered .
The application supports the "treat studies as registered" feature - the ability for the user to select datasets / all datasets for which the system should treat as if they are fully registered to one another. This is needed to support places where although the data doesn't have the same frame of reference, they were registered in a "black-box" and only then copied to the PACS. The algorithm is ignoring the exact clicking point.
Reading PET-CT images require both specific image-manipulation capabilities and standardized uptake value presentation. PET scanning utilizes a radioactive molecule that is similar to glucose, called fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). FDG accumulates within malignant cells because of their high rate of glucose metabolism, and is currently the radiotraccr most commonly used for PET' imaging.
The standardized uptake value (SUV) is a scmi-quantitative value that allows expression of FDG untake in a lesion relative to the injected dose. The
{2}------------------------------------------------
standardized uptake value (SUV) is defined as the ratio of activity in tissue per millimeter to the activity in the injected dose per patient body weight.
#### Intended Use:
The CARESTREAM PACS is an image management system whose intended use is to provide completely scaleable local and wide area PACS solutions for hospital and related institutions/sites, which will archive, distribute, retrieve and display images and data from all hospital modalities and information systems.
The system contains interactive tools in order to ease the process of analyzing and comparing three dimensional (3D) images. It is a single system that integrates the review, dictation and reporting tools that creates a productive work environment for the radiologists and physicians.
#### Comparison of Technological Characteristics:
The modifications to the CARESTREAM PACS do not alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device. The only device modification was to the software. No new image manipulation tools are implemented that do not exist in the Fusion7D device. The device modifications raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness.
#### Discussion of Testing
Performance testing was conducted to verify the design output met the design input requircments and to validate the device conformed to the defined user needs and intended uses. Nonclinical testing was conducted under simulated use conditions. Predefined acceptance criteria was met and demonstrated that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate device.
