Whole organs include, but are not limited to brain, heart, pancreas, etc. The Aquilion ONE has the capability to provide volume sets of the entire organ. These volume sets can be used to perform specialized studies, using indicated software, of the whole organ by a trained and qualified physician. FIRST is an iterative reconstruction algorithm intended to reduce exposure dose and improve high contrast spatial resolution for abdomen, pelvis, chest, cardiac, extremities and head applications. AiCE is a noise reduction algorithm that improves image quality and reduces image noise by employing Deep Convolutional Neural Network methods for abdomen, pelvis, inner ear and extremities applications. The Spectral Imaging System allows the system to acquire two nearly simultaneous CT images of an anatomical location using distinct tube voltages and/or tube currents by rapid KV switching. The X-ray dose will be the sum of the dose at each respective tube voltage and current in a rotation. Information regarding the material composition of various organs, tissues, and contrast materials may be gained from the differences in X-ray attenuation between these distinct energies. When used by a qualified physician, a potential application is to determine the course of treatment. ## Device Story Whole-body multi-slice helical CT scanner; consists of gantry, couch, and console. Inputs: X-ray attenuation data acquired via rapid kV switching (Spectral Imaging) or standard rotation. Transforms: Uses FIRST (iterative reconstruction) to reduce dose/improve resolution and AiCE (Deep Convolutional Neural Network) to reduce noise/improve image quality. Outputs: Cross-sectional volume sets, basis material images, monochromatic images, iodine maps, and virtual non-contrast images. Used in clinical settings by radiologists/physicians. Output viewed on console for diagnostic assessment and treatment planning. Benefits: Improved image quality, reduced noise, and material characterization via spectral data. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical trials; evidence based on bench testing and clinical image review. Bench testing used phantoms to assess CNR, CT number accuracy, uniformity, SSP, MTF, noise, and LCD. AiCE demonstrated 69-81% dose reduction vs FBP, 18.4% improvement in LCD, and 32% noise reduction vs AIDR 3D. Spectral imaging claims supported by phantom studies showing reduced beam hardening and correlation between CT number and iodine concentration. Clinical image quality confirmed by American Board Certified Radiologist review of representative abdomen/pelvis, lung, extremity, brain, and inner ear images. ## Technological Characteristics Multi-slice helical CT scanner. Materials: Standard medical-grade CT components. Energy: X-ray source with rapid kV switching. Connectivity: Networked console for processing/display.

TESTING Risk analysis and verification/validation activities conducted through bench testing demonstrate that the established specifications for the device have been met. ### Spectral Imaging Performance Testing - Bench ### Image Quality Evaluation CT image quality metrics were performed, utilizing phantoms, to assess Contrast-to-Noise Ratios (CNR), CT Number Accuracy, Uniformity, Slice Sensitivity Profile (SSP), Modulation Transfer Function (MTF)-Wire, Standard Deviation of Noise (SD), Noise Power Spectra (NPS) and Low Contrast Detectability (LCD). It was concluded that the Spectral Images are substantially equivalent to the predicate device as demonstrated by the results of the above testing. ## Catphan and Body Phantom Evaluation A side-by-side study was conducted to compare the image quality between the predicate dual energy scanning versus the subject Spectral Imaging scanning at varying dose levels. Other studies using various phantoms were conducted to support the following Spectral Imaging claims: - । Spectral Imaging reduces beam hardening artifact (relative to AIDR3D/FBP) - । High linear correlation between CT number and iodine concentration ### Spectral Imaging Performance Testing – Clinical Images Representative abdomen/pelvis, lung, and extremity Spectral Images, reviewed by an American Board Certified Radiologist, were obtained using the subject device and it was confirmed that the Spectral Imaging reconstructed images using the subject device were of diagnostic quality. ### Non-Spectral Imaging and AiCE Performance Testing – Bench ### Image Quality Evaluation CT image quality metrics were performed, utilizing phantoms, to assess Contrast-to-Noise Ratios (CNR), CT Number Accuracy, Uniformity, Slice Sensitivity Profile (SSP), {7}------------------------------------------------ Modulation Transfer Function (MTF)-Wire, Standard Deviation of Noise (SD), Noise Power Spectra (NPS), Low Contrast Detectability (LCD) and Pediatric phantom/protocol. It was concluded that AiCE is substantially equivalent to the predicate device as demonstrated by the results of the above testing. ### Quantitative Body LCD, Noise Improvement, Dose Reduction A model observer evaluation was conducted and the subject device demonstrated a dose reduction of 69-81% compared to filtered back projection, a 18.4% improvement in low contrast detectability and 32% noise reduction at the same dose for body AiCE compared to AIDR 3D. Other studies using various phantoms were conducted to support the following claims: - Streak and beam hardening artifacts appeared the same with AiCE as when FBP and AIDR 3D were used and additional artifacts were not introduced - Twice the high contrast spatial resolution of AIDR 3D with reduced noise for AiCE Body Sharp at 10% of the MTF - AiCE noise appearance/texture more similar to high dose filtered backprojection (compared to FIRST) - AiCE noise appearance/texture more similar to filtered backprojection (compared to FIRST) - AiCE has improved noise appearance/texture (compared to FIRST) - AiCE has more natural noise texture (compared to FIRST) - Effective 144 (180 with option) kW max. equivalent generator power with AIDR ### AiCE Imaging Performance Testing – Clinical Images Representative abdomen/pelvis, brain, inner ear and extremity AiCE images were reviewed by an American Board Certified Radiologist. All images were obtained using the subject device and it was confirmed that the images were of diagnostic quality.
