Intended Use

DrAid™ for Liver Segmentation is a web-based software, non-invasive image analysis application designed for the visualization, evaluation, and reporting of liver and physician identified lesions using multiphase images (with slice thickness <= 3.0mm) of patients aged and older than 22 years old obtained from CT scanners. The software provides a range of tools for image viewing, processing, and reporting.

The software enables professionals, including physicians and technicians, to review and analyze multiphase volume datasets of the liver. DrAid™ for Liver Segmentation operates in a semautomated quantitative imaging function, utilizing an Al algorithm to generate liver segmentation that is then editable by the physician if necessary. Additionally, the device provides tools for manual segmentation within user input of seed points and boundary editing for physician-identified lesions within the liver. Professionals can assess liver volume (mm³), liver lesion volume (mm³), and maximum lesion diameter (mm), position, thereby aiding in evaluation and treatment planning.

It is important to note that the software is intended for use by trained professionals. including physicians and technicians. The image source for analysis is DICOM, allowing compatibility with standard medical imaging data formats.

Note: DrAid™ for Liver Segmentation does not generate diagnoses or potential findings directly.

The interpretation of the image data and the clinical decision-making process should be performed by qualified healthicare professionals. The installation and deployment of the software medical device should be carried out by VinBrain and trained technicians.

Caution: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size: 450 contrast-enhanced CT scans. These scans were from 150 patients.
  • Data Provenance:
    • Country of Origin: US medical institutions (USA).
    • Retrospective/Prospective: Not explicitly stated, but typically these types of validation studies on existing datasets are retrospective.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

  • Number of Experts: 3
  • Qualifications of Experts: US board-certified radiologists.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document mentions that the ground truth was established by "annotations provided by 3 US board-certified radiologists," but it does not specify an adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, majority vote, etc.). It implies that the annotations from these three radiologists collectively formed the ground truth, but the process for resolving discrepancies among them is not detailed.


5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

  • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The study focuses on evaluating the standalone performance of the AI algorithm against expert-created ground truth. There is no information provided about comparing human readers' performance with and without AI assistance or any effect size for such an improvement.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study

  • Yes, a standalone study was performed. The reported performance metrics (Dice score, HD95, NVE) are for the DrAid™ liver segmentation algorithm itself, evaluated against the established ground truth. The device is described as having "semi-automated quantitative imaging function, utilizing an AI algorithm to generate liver segmentation that is then editable by the physician if necessary," but the performance data presented is for the initial AI segmentation without physician editing.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Expert Consensus (or Expert Annotation): The ground truth was established by "annotations provided by 3 US board-certified radiologists." This falls under expert consensus/annotation.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

  • The sample size for the training set is not provided in the document. The text only describes the test set (450 CT scans from 150 patients).

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • The document does not provide information on how the ground truth for the training set was established. It only details the ground truth establishment for the independent test set.

3. Indication for use comparison

Both the subject and predicate devices are intended for segmentation of liver and physician identified lesions for use by trained healthcare professionals and are compatible with DICOM image data, which is essential for medical imaging applications.

{7}------------------------------------------------

4. Technological comparison

Technical comparison with predicate device:

Both the subject and predicate device are software applications, supporting the evaluation of liver lesions from multiphase images and provide essential tools for image viewing, segmentation, and reporting. Both are designed for use by trained healthcare professionals and intended for use in a hospital healthcare environment. The differences in deployment platforms, liver segmentation technology, operating systems and some features do not compromise the safety and effectiveness of either device in their intended clinical applications.

The subject device provides semi-automatic segmentation of the liver using an AI algorithm with editable tool, whereas the predicate device provides manual segmentation for liver. The difference in liver segmentation techniques highlights the strength of DrAid™ for Liver Segmentation in leveraging an AI algorithm for liver segmentation. The utilization of advanced algorithms can enhance the efficiency and accuracy of liver segmentation. The difference in segmentation techniques does not raise different questions regarding the safety and effectiveness of DrAid™ for Liver Segmentation.

5. Non - Clinical and/or Clinical Test summary & conclusions

DrAid™ for Liver Segmentation has been rigorously evaluated and verified to align with user needs and intended applications through successful performance, functionality, and algorithmic tests. Testing outcomes confirm that DrAid™ for Liver Segmentation fulfills the device's user needs and requirements, demonstrating substantial equivalence in performance to the listed predicate and reference devices.

Performance testing was performed using the representative and independent US dataset and, to ensure that the performance and accuracy met the requirements and standards. The ground truth was established by the annotations provided by 3 US board-certified radiologists.

Overall Liver Segmentation Algorithm:

  • Patients:
    • o 450 contrast-enhanced CT scans of 150 patients
    • o Age distribution: 60 ±12
    • Sex distribution: 49.3% female, 50.7% male o
    • Location of clinical sites: US medical institutions O
    • o Image procedure: Contrast-enhanced CT images taken for diagnostic reading

The following table provides a summary of the validation results:
