Intended Use

syngo.CT Dual Energy is designed to operate with CT images which have been acquired with Siemens Dual Source scanners. The various materials of an anatomical region of interest have different attenuation coefficients, which depend on the used energy. Depending on the region of interest, contrast agents may be used. These differences provide information on the chemical composition of the scanned body materials. syngo.CT Dual Energy combines images acquired with low and high energy spectra to visualize this information. The functionality of the syngo.CT Dual Energy applications is as follows: Monoenergetic, Brain Hemorrhage, Gout Evaluation, Lung Vessels, Heart PBV, Bone Removal, Lung Perfusion, Liver VNC, Monoenergetic Plus, Virtual Unenhanced, Bone Marrow, Kidney Stones. *) Kidney Stones is designed to support the visualization of the chemical composition of kidney stones and especially the differentiation between uric acid and non-uric acid stones. For full identification of the kidney stone additional clinical information should be considered such as patient history and urine testing. Only a well-trained radiologist can make the final diagnosis under consideration of all available information. The accuracy of identification is decreased in obese patients.

Device Story

Post-processing software package for Siemens Dual Source CT scanners; operates on syngo.via client-server platform. Inputs: CT datasets acquired at two different energy spectra (e.g., 80 kV and 140 kV). Processing: Combines low and high energy images to exploit material-specific attenuation differences; enables qualitative and quantitative evaluation of chemical composition. Outputs: Enhanced visualizations and reports for specific clinical applications (e.g., Monoenergetic Plus, Virtual Unenhanced, Bone Marrow, Kidney Stone analysis). Used by radiologists in clinical settings to improve tissue characterization and diagnostic confidence. Benefits: Enhanced visualization of energy-dependent materials; aids in differentiation of specific pathologies like kidney stone composition or bone marrow assessment. Final diagnosis remains the responsibility of the radiologist using all available clinical information.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Phantom bench tests conducted for Monoenergetic Plus application. Retrospective analysis of patient data from multiple hospitals performed for all three new application classes (Monoenergetic Plus, Virtual Unenhanced, Bone Marrow). Risk management and software verification/validation testing met acceptance criteria.

Technological Characteristics

Post-processing software application; operates on multi-user syngo.via client-server platform. Connectivity: DICOM 2008 compliant. Standards: IEC 60601-1-6 (usability), IEC 60601-1-4 (programmable electrical medical systems), IEC 62304 (software lifecycle), ISO 14971 (risk management).

Indications for Use

Indicated for use with CT images acquired via Siemens Dual Source scanners to visualize chemical composition of body materials. Applications include Monoenergetic, Brain Hemorrhage, Gout, Lung Vessels, Heart PBV, Bone Removal, Lung Perfusion, Liver VNC, Virtual Unenhanced, Bone Marrow, and Kidney Stone differentiation (uric vs. non-uric acid). Accuracy for kidney stones is reduced in obese patients; requires clinical correlation by a radiologist.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A computed tomography x-ray system is a diagnostic x-ray system intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data from the same axial plane taken at different angles. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.
