## 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 of the brain, showing properties of changes in contrast over time where such techniques are useful or necessary.

## Device Story

nordicICE is a medical image processing software package for standard Windows PC workstations. It ingests DICOM-compliant imaging data (primarily MRI/CT). The software provides tools for viewing and analyzing functional and dynamic datasets, including BOLD fMRI, DWI/fiber tracking, and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) imaging. New modules calculate tissue perfusion, blood volume, and capillary permeability based on temporal signal intensity changes following contrast bolus injection. Imaging professionals use the software to visualize and quantify physiological parameters. The output assists clinicians in assessing brain tissue flow and structure, supporting clinical decision-making regarding neurological conditions. The device is intended for use in clinical environments by trained personnel.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. The software was tested for function and safety and fulfills all requirement specifications. No clinical data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Software-based image processing package; runs on standard Windows PC workstations; DICOM-compliant; modules for BOLD fMRI, DWI/fiber tracking, and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) analysis; calculates perfusion, blood volume, and capillary permeability parameters.

## Regulatory 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 – 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" PCworkstation 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 of the brain, showing properties of changes in contrast over time where such techniques are useful or necessary.

#### Identification of Change to Unmodified Device

The nordicICE software offers comprehensive functionality for dynamic image analysis and visualization, where signal changes over time are analyzed to determine various modality dependent functional parameters. Now this functionality has been extended to include dedicated analysis methods and visualization tools for dynamic contrast enhanced imaging data (from MRI or CT) where a bolus injection of a contrast agent material results in a temporal change in the signal intensity. This dynamic change in signal intensity is used to calculate functional parameters related to tissue flow (perfusion) and tissue blood volume as well as leakage (due to capillary permeability) of the injected contrast material from the intravascular- to the extracellular space. The functionality has been implemented as additional software modules to the existing device, and is referred to as:

- nordicICE DCE Module – Calculation of parameters related to leakage of injected contrast material from intravascular- to extracellular space.

The changes summarized above are the only modification made to the nordicICE software.

## Statement of Substantial Equivalence

To summarize, the modified nordic!CE software is found substantial equivalent to the previously cleared device. The modified software only includes additional modules which-extend the current functionality used for dynamic image analysis and the indications for the modified nordic!CE software have remained unchanged.

### Summary of Testing

The nordicICE software has been tested for function and safety and fulfills all requirement specifications.
