## Intended Use

The Materialise CT-Modeller System is intended for use as a software interface and image segmentation system for the transfer of imaging information from a medical scanner such as a Magnetic Resonance imaging scanner or CT scanner. The input data file is processed by the CT-Modeller System and the result is an output data file which may then be used as input data for a CAD or Rapid Prototyping System. The CT-Modeller System which is the subject of this 510(k) premarket notification is confined solely to the software image segmentation system.

## Device Story

Software interface and image segmentation system; processes medical imaging data (CT/MRI) to generate output files for CAD or Rapid Prototyping systems. Operates as a standalone software tool for data conversion and segmentation. Used by clinical or technical personnel to prepare anatomical data for downstream manufacturing or modeling applications. Facilitates transfer of diagnostic imaging information into engineering environments.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Software-only image segmentation system. Functions as a data interface/converter. Non-sterile.

## 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

- SurgiCAD View System ([K924630](/device/K924630.md))
