Intended Use
Fujifilm's FDR Dual Energy Subtraction (DES) Option may be used with Fujifilm's DR X-ray Systems and is intended to be used by a qualified/trained doctor or technologist for acquiring dual energy subtraction images of human anatomy. DES is intended to assist the physician through the visualization of anomalies by reducing the visibility of underlying / overlying anatomical structures. This device is not intended for mammographic applications.
Device Story
FDR Dual Energy Subtraction (DES) is a software option for Fujifilm DR X-ray systems; acquires two images at different X-ray energies; performs weighted subtraction to generate three processed images: standard radiographic, soft-tissue (bone removed), and bone (soft-tissue removed). Includes Multi-Stage Registration (MSR) to compensate for involuntary patient motion (e.g., heartbeat) between exposures, reducing motion artifacts. Operated by physicians or technologists in clinical settings. Output assists physicians in visualizing anomalies by suppressing overlying/underlying anatomical structures, potentially improving detectability of lung nodules. Does not perform mammography.
Clinical Evidence
No prospective clinical trials. Evidence includes a literature review of studies performed on the device outside the U.S., including a reading evaluation where 10 radiologists assessed 20 images, confirming MSR improves lung nodule detectability and reduces artifacts. Three U.S. clinical reference images were provided to demonstrate MSR effectiveness. Bench testing and software verification were also performed.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based image processing option for digital X-ray systems. Uses weighted subtraction of two images acquired at different energy levels. Includes Multi-Stage Registration (MSR) algorithm for motion compensation. Complies with IEC 60601-1, 60601-1-2, 60601-1-3, 60601-1-4, 60601-2-7, 60601-2-28, 60601-2-32, IEC 60825, and DICOM V3.0 standards.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by qualified doctors or technologists to acquire dual energy subtraction X-ray images of human anatomy to assist in visualizing anomalies by reducing visibility of underlying/overlying structures. Not for mammographic applications.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

#### INDICATIONS FOR USE 1.
Fujifilm's FDR Dual Energy Subtraction (DES) Option may be used with Fujifilm's DR X-ray Systems and is intended to be used by a qualified/trained doctor or technologist for acquiring dual energy subtraction images of human anatomy.
DES is intended to assist the physician through the visualization of anomalies by reducing the visibility of underlying / overlying anatomical structures.
This device is not intended for mammographic applications.
#### II. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Dual Energy Subtraction (DES) is an advanced radiographic imaging application designed as an option to be used with our cleared FDR AcSelerate X-ray system, and will also be used in future FUJFILM X-ray systems.
Two images are acquired at mulually different X-ray energies. These images are then subject to a weighted subtraction that can remove structures (e.g. soft tissue structures or bone structures) of a specific x-ray absorption characteristic. This results in a completed DES exam that typically consists of three processed images, (1) a standard radiographic image, (2) a soft-tissue image with the bone information removed, and (3) a bone image with the soft tissue information removed.
To suppress involuntary motion artifacts which are tvpical in dual-exposure energy subtraction, Fujifilm's DES option includes Multi-Stage Registration (MSR) which compensates for involuntary patient motion, such as the patient's heartbeat, that can

produce slight differences in anatomic registration (seen as artifacts) between the first exposure (high energy image), and the second exposure (low energy image). MSR is added to suppress the motion artifacts seen in the DES image and maintains the image quality.
#### SUMMARY OF STUDIES 011.
System testing was performed and certified to the following International Standards:
- IEC 60601-1: Medical Electrical Equipment-Part 1: General requirements for A safety, 1988; Amendment 1, 1991-11, Amendment 2, 1995 (General)

A literature review was submitted to discuss clinical and phantom studies performed on the outside US version of the proposed device. Studies were performed on the predicate device in Japan. A reading evaluation was performed. Ten radiologists evaluated 20 subject images and concluded that (1) Multi-Stage Registration feature may improve DES detectability of lung nodules in the lower right lung and (2) it has been confirmed by interviews with doctors that the artifact reduction was effective.
Three U.S. clinical DES reference images are included in this submission with and without MSR applied. These images are included to provide a visual demonstration of the effectiveness of Fujifilm's DES with MSR for artifact reduction.
Results of the Software Verification, bench testing, clinical image samples and literature review support a substantial equivalence determination.

Fujifilm's FDR Dual Energy Subtraction (DES) Option is a modification to our currentlycleared FCR 9501ES (K952862) and is also substantially equivalent to General Electric's Dual Energy and Tissue Equalization Software Options for Digital Radiographic Systems (K013481).
A detailed Substantial Equivalence Comparison is provided in Section 12.
#### V. CONCLUSION
The proposed optional FDR Dual Energy Subtraction software tested with the currentlycleared FDR AcSelerate System has very similar Indications for Use, Functional and Technical requirements as the currently-cleared General Electric's Dual Energy and Tissue Equalization Software Options for Digital Radiographic Systems (K013481).
The Energy Subtraction algorithm is unchanged from our currently-cleared FCR 9501ES (K952862).
After analyzing bench and certified system test data, as well as literature review and the inclusion of confirmatory images with and without MSR applied, we feel that the proposed and predicate devices can be considered to be as safe and effective as the currently-cleared predicate devices.
