Intended Use

The DICOMIT Dicom Image Manager medical image management system is intended for acceptance, transfer, display, storage and digital processing of medical images. The software component provides functions for performing operations related to image manipulation. The "3D ROI" software option enables the device to display and manipulate an adjunctive 3D volume image created with data from a diagnostic ultrasound scanning procedure.

Device Story

Dicom Image Manager "3D ROI" is a software module for medical image management systems. It accepts sequential 2D ultrasound images acquired via standard transducers during freehand scanning procedures. The software processes these sequential images—stored in system memory (Cine Loop)—to render a 3D volume image. This volume is displayed and manipulated in windows on a monitor. Used in clinical settings, the device assists healthcare providers by providing adjunctive 3D visualization of ultrasound data, aiding in image review and clinical assessment. It does not require specialized positioning devices or sensors for data acquisition.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. The submission relies on a comparison of technological characteristics and intended use with legally marketed predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Software-based 3D visualization module for medical image management systems. Operates on standard ultrasound system hardware. Utilizes freehand scanning acquisition without specialized positioning sensors. Rendering process uses sequential B-mode ultrasound images stored in Cine memory. Connectivity via DICOM standard.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in medical image management, including acceptance, transfer, display, storage, and digital processing of medical images, specifically enabling the display and manipulation of 3D volume images derived from diagnostic ultrasound scanning procedures.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system is a device intended to project a pulsed sound beam into body tissue to determine the depth or location of the tissue interfaces and to measure the duration of an acoustic pulse from the transmitter to the tissue interface and back to the receiver. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). A biopsy needle guide kit intended for use with an ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

Predicate Devices

• Dicom Image Manager (K951925)
• ATL HDI 3000/5000 Ultrasound systems (K961459)
• GE LOGIQ 700 Ultrasound system (K964617)

# (4) Description of the device:

The software changes described in this submission enable the DICOMIT Dicom Image Manager - with 3D-visualization software module to store in memory, multiple sequential ultrasound images when using a standard ultrasound transducer during any standard ultrasound scanning procedure. These images can then be rendered as a 3D image that can be displayed and manipulated in "windows" on the monitor.

## (5) A statement of the intended use of the device:

The DICOMIT Dicom Image Manager medical image management system is intended for acceptance, transfer, display, storage and digital processing of medical images. The software component provides functions for performing operations related to image manipulation.

The "3D ROI" software option enables the device to display and manipulate an adjunctive 3D volume image created with data from a diagnostic ultrasound scanning procedure.

## (6) Predicate Device Comparison:

The DICOMIT Dicom Image Manager - with 3D Visualization Software Module is substantially equivalent to similar features in the predicate devices and has the same intended uses and technological characteristics as the predicate devices.

The DICOMIT system and the predicate devices all use standard ultrasound system probes. All systems acquire multiple sequential images scanned in a "freehand" manner by the user without special positioning devices or position sensors.

The resulting sequential images are stored in the ultrasound system memory commonly called "Cine" or "Cine Loop". On all three systems the 3D volume images are rendered using the individual B-mode scan images acquired from the "freehand" scan.

The DICOMIT Dicom Image Manager - with 3D Visualization Software Module creates a 3D volume image in the same manner as the predicate devices described in this submission.
