## Intended Use

The system is intended for use by any health practitioner who has the need for any of the below functions: 1. The software may be used to display medical images. The user may adjust the contrast of the images and image process the images with an edge enhancement algorithm. The user can zoom in on a region of an image, enlarging that region on the display screen. Other image processing functions may be added in the future to allow the user to enhance some aspect of an image, such as histogram processing, spatial filtering, frequency filtering. 2. Images from the same series can be stacked to form a three dimensional model. This will allow the use of the system to reformat images in other planes, such as coronal and sagittal planes. 3. Outlining tools are provided to use the system to outline regions of interest. These outlines may be combined to define three dimensional shapes which can be viewed in three dimensional perspective views. 4. The region of interest outlines may be written back to DICOM formatted image files for export to other systems. 5. The system can be used to determine the stereotactic coordinates of a point located on an image when a stereotactic system is employed. 6. The system may be used to provide support for any stereotactic system that consists of fixed rods which can be uniquely located on CT and MRI images. 7. The system may be used to solve for the transformation between two images sets, referred to as image fusion. 8. A region of interested outlined on one image set may be transferred to a fused image set. 9. The system may be used as a front end to other systems that do not provide image fusion. An example would be outlining a region of interest on MRI scans, transferring the outlines to CT scans, and writing the outlines back into DICOM image files. Those files can be available to other systems such as a radiation therapy treatment planning system. 10. The system may be used to print hardcopy images of selected images, reformatted images, and three dimensional perspective views. 11. Image segmentation tools are provided to create three dimensional structures for viewing in three dimensional perspective views. The intention is also to provide these basic functions as a C++ object library to any party that may wish to use the library to build their own applications. Those customers will be completely responsible for the integration, testing, use of the end product that they produce, and compliance with federal and state regulations.

## Device Story

System 2100 is a software-based radiological image display and processing system. It accepts medical images (CT/MRI) as input. Core functions include image enhancement (contrast, edge, spatial/frequency filtering), 3D model reconstruction from stacked image series, image segmentation, and outlining of regions of interest (ROI). It supports stereotactic frame coordinate determination and image fusion (transformation between image sets) using stereotactic frames, common points, or common surfaces. Output includes displayed images, 3D perspective views, and DICOM-formatted files containing ROI contours for export to external systems like radiation therapy treatment planners. Used in clinical settings by health practitioners. It also functions as a C++ object library for third-party developers to integrate into other applications. The system aids clinicians in visualization and treatment planning by enabling multi-planar reformatting and cross-modality image registration.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Software-based radiological display system. Implemented as a C++ object library. Supports DICOM standard for image file input/output. Features include edge enhancement, histogram processing, spatial/frequency filtering, 3D reconstruction, and image fusion algorithms.

## 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).

## 510(k) Summary

System 2100 is a software program intended as a medical image display system that performs the following functions:

1. Displays medical images.

2. Can provide image processing and enhancements, such as contrast control, edge enhancement.

3. Can stack images from a series to form a three dimensional model.

4. Provides outlining and segmentation tools.

5. Can display outlined and segmented structures in three dimensional perspective views.

6. Provides generic support for stereotactic frames with the determination of the stereotactic coordinates of a point.

7. Provides three methods for solving for the transformation of coordinates between two image series, referred to as image fusion. The three methods are using stereotactic frames, using common points, and using common surfaces.

8. Can serve as a front end to other systems that do not have image fusion or segmentation methods.

9. Can be used as a means for printing hardcopy of images, reformatted images, and 3d perspective views.

10. Can serve as an object library for university research centers and other vendors (who are then responsible for the use and complying with federal and state regulations).

The system is intended for use by any health practitioner who may have need of the functions provided.

The capabilities provided in System 2100 can be found in a wide variety of present medical devices. Most CT and MRI consoles (General Electric Medical Systems, Rochester. NY) provide the means to view the images generated by those devices and will allow the reformatting of images in other planes.

Image fusion and support for stereotactic frames is provided by the product Xknife sold by Radionics, 2 Brookline Place, Suite 205, Brookline, MA 02146. Another product that supports a stereotactic frame and provides image fusion is Gamma Plan from Elekta Instruments, Inc., 3155 Northwoods Parkway, Norcross, Georgia, 30071.

System 2100 is similar to a predicate image display system call Precision View sold by Elekta Oncology (at the same address above for Elekta Instruments). Precision View has outlining and segmentation methods, image fusion, and may down load region of interest contours in DICOM files to a radiation therapy treatment planning system.
