## Intended Use

OrthoCAD is an option that provides the morphometry of the lumbo-sacral section of the spine, by means of semi-automatic segmentation of MR images, the generation of the relative 3D model and calculation of the significant geometrical properties of the vertebral bodies and spinal canal. When this data is interpreted by a trained physician, it can yield information that may assist diagnosis.

## Device Story

OrthoCAD is a software option for the Esaote G-scan MR system. It processes sagittal FSE T2 MR images of the lumbosacral spine (L1-S1). Users perform manual or semi-automatic (wizard) segmentation of vertebral bodies and the spinal canal to construct 3D models. The system calculates clinical parameters including vertebral wedging, listhesis index, intervertebral translation/angles, vertebral collapse index, spinal curvature, spinal canal thickness/section, and foramen area. It supports endoscopic virtual navigation within the segmented canal and allows comparison of images acquired in clinostatic and orthostatic positions. Used by physicians in clinical settings to assist in diagnosis by providing quantitative geometric data.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing included comparison between manual and semi-automated segmentation of lumbar/sacral vertebrae and spinal canal; evaluation of variability, repeatability, and reproducibility of measurements; and validation of software correctness in measuring MRI images of the lumbar spine.

## Technological Characteristics

Software-based image processing package. Operates on MR images acquired via G-scan (K111803). Features include semi-automatic segmentation, 3D model construction, and geometric measurement tools. Connectivity via database integration for patient management. No change to fundamental scientific technology of the host MR system.

## 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).

## Predicate Devices

- G-scan ([K111803](/device/K111803.md))
- SpineAnalyzer ([K103475](/device/K103475.md))

510(k) Summarv OrthoCAD software option for G-scan Esaote, S.p.A.

## Device Description

The OrthoCAD software option is a software package intended to be used with Esaote Gscan system cleared via K111803. OrthoCAD provides the morphometry of the lumbosacral section of the spine, by means of semi-automatic segmentation of MR images, the generation of the relative 3D model and calculation of the significant geometrical properties of the vertebral bodies and spinal canal. When this data is interpreted by a trained physician, it can yield information that may assist diagnosis.

G-scan is a Magnetic Resonance (MR) system, which produces images of the internal structures of the patient's limbs and joints.

The OrthoCAD system allows you to visualize, analyse and compare Magnetic Resonance images. The system is connected to a database that enables the physician to keep track of all the patients examined over time.

The images are acquired by running FSE T2 Rel sequences on the G-scan of the lumbosacral tract of the vertebral spine, in the sagittal plane, and are transferred to the OrthoCAD database following acquisition.

When the MR images are stored on the OrthoCAD database, the user can proceed with a manual or semi-automatic (wizard) segmentation of the vertebral bodies (from L1 up to S1) and of the spinal canal. During the segmentation of the anatomical elements, 3D models are constructed based on the segmented structures.

When the segmentation procedure has been terminated, the user can proceed with the evaluation of the following significant clinical parameters:

- . � Vertebral wedging
- Listhesis index .
- Intervertebral translation index .
- Intervertebral angles .
- Vertebral collapse index .
- . Spinal curvature
- . Spinal canal thickness
- . Spinal canal section
- Foramen area . .

Following this process, the endoscopic virtual navigation within the segmented spinal canal is enabled.

{2}------------------------------------------------

Finally, if the user has worked on MR images acquired both in the clinostatic and orthostatic mode, the measures calculated and the virtual navigation of the two the positions can be compared, and a report containing all the information is produced.

OrthoCAD is made up of six environments:

- . Patient Management: contains the functions required for the display and management of patients stored in the database associated with the system.
- Home: keeps track of the procedures executed overtime for the selected patient . (analyses present, status of examinations associated with the various analyses, etc.).
- . Segmentation: carries out the functions used for the segmentation and those related to the construction of 3D models of anatomic elements
- Measurements: includes all tools required to measure the clinical parameters . used for the analysis of the currently selected exam.
- Navigation: enables endoscopic virtual navigation within the segmented . anatomical structures by means of the definition of anatomic points, in order to construct one (or more) navigation routes.
- . Comparison: enables the comparison of two different examinations within the same analysis or within different analyses provided they are the same type. This environment enables:
	- . The simultaneous display, or superimposed display when required, of anatomical elements which belong to the two volumes being compared.
	- 미 The simultaneous display of the different measurements, with an indication of the main differences between these values.

### Intended Use(s)

OrthoCAD is an option that provides the morphometry of the lumbo-sacral section of the spine, by means of semi-automatic segmentation of MR images, the generation of the relative 3D model and calculation of the significant geometrical properties of the vertebral bodies and spinal canal. When this data is interpreted by a trained physician, it can yield information that may assist diagnosis.

#### Technological Characteristics

The addition of the OrthoCAD Software Option, reflected in this 510(k), does not alter the fundamental scientific technology of the G-scan system, cleared via K111803.

#### Performance Data

Non-clinical testing of the G-scan system with the addition of the OrthoCAD Software Option demonstrated that it met performance requirements and is as safe and effective as the predicate devices.
