MI View&GO is a medical diagnostic application for viewing, manipulation, quantification, analysis and comparison of medical images with one or more time-points. MI View&GO supports functional data, such as positron emission tomography (PET) or nuclear medicine (NM), as well as anatomical datasets, such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR).
MI View&GO is intended to be utilized by appropriately trained health care professionals to aid in the management of diseases associated with oncology, cardiology, neurology, and organ function. The images and results produced by MI View&GO can also be used by the physician to aid in radiotherapy treatment planning.
MI View&GO is a software-only medical device which will be delivered in conjunction with Siemens SPECT/CT and PET/CT scanners. MI View&GO software provides additional specific capabilities for handling of PET and SPECT as well as CT and MR data directly at the acquisition console.
The MI View&GO software integrates molecular imaging more efficiently in the clinical environment by providing an interface for its users to review, post-process and read medical images immediately after acquisition. The purpose of the MI View&GO is to allow the technologist and reading physician to:
- Review acquired and reconstructed images at the scanner console
- Determine that the acquired data is of sufficient quality for reading, so the patient can be released.
- Prepare images for reading
- Perform a basic read
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study detailed in the provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter for MI View&GO, structured according to your requested points:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance Study for MI View&GO (K254016)
1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Improved Lung Segmentation (Auto Lung 3D) | For new organs (N/A for lung lobes, as they are existing organs with improved models) | Not applicable, as lung lobes are "improved organs," not "new organs." |
| For unchanged organs (other than lungs and lung lobes) | Dice-score on other organs (not retrained) remained unchanged and was verified by recalculating the Dice score with the new algorithm. | |
| For improved organs (Lung Lobes): Average Dice coefficient per organ shall be greater than or equal to the average Dice coefficient per organ of the predicate algorithm. | The average Dice coefficient for all 20 subjects was higher for each lobe in the subject device than in the predicate device. (Note: The document also states "although not greater than a +0.03 difference for all lobes," which clarifies that while improved, the improvement might not be substantial for every lobe.) | |
| Improved PERCIST Liver Algorithm (binary liver mask input) | Average Dice coefficient > 0.8 | The liver met this criterion. |
| Average Symmetric Surface Distance (ASSD) < 10 mm | The liver met this criterion. | |
| Improved PERCIST Liver Algorithm (Reference Region Placement) | N/A (Comparative analysis, not a specific criterion for a single metric) | Demonstrated to yield results in better agreement with semi-automatic evaluation by expert readers compared with the predicate method. |
| Improved PERCIST Liver Algorithm (Intersection with Suspicious Uptake Masks) | N/A (Comparative analysis, goal is fewer intersections) | Subject device had fewer intersections (4 cases) compared to the predicate device (13 cases) out of 129 subjects. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Improved Lung Segmentation:
- Sample Size: 20 patients.
- Data Provenance:
- Retrospective.
- Half of the patients were new, and the other 50% were randomly selected from the predicate testing cohort.
- 50% of patients were from the US.
- All patients from Siemens Scanner.
- Improved PERCIST Liver Algorithm (binary liver mask input):
- Sample Size: 20 patients.
- Data Provenance:
- Patients obtained from clinical partners in Europe and USA.
- Randomly selected with stratification.
- All subjects from Siemens Scanner.
- Improved PERCIST Liver Algorithm (Reference Region Placement & Intersection with Suspicious Uptake Masks):
- Sample Size: 129 subjects for the "intersection with suspicious uptake masks" analysis.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated for the "reference region placement" analysis, but implied to be from the same or similar source as the 129 subjects.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
- Improved Lung Segmentation: Not explicitly stated. The ground truth for segmentation metrics (Dice, ASSD) is typically established by manual segmentation performed by experts, but the number of experts and their qualifications are not detailed in this document.
- Improved PERCIST Liver Algorithm (Reference Region Placement):
- Number of Experts: Two expert readers.
- Qualifications: "Expert readers" is mentioned, but specific qualifications (e.g., radiologist 10 years experience) are not provided.

- Number of Experts: One expert reader.
- Qualifications: "Expert reader" is mentioned; specific qualifications are not provided.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Improved Lung Segmentation: Not explicitly mentioned. For segmentation ground truth derived from multiple experts, methods like consensus or averaging are common, but not specified here.
- Improved PERCIST Liver Algorithm (Reference Region Placement): Semi-automatic evaluation by two expert readers. The document states the subject device algorithm was compared to this "reference standard," implying this semi-automatic output was considered the ground truth. No explicit adjudication method (like 2+1) is described for resolving differences between the two experts, if they occurred.
- Improved PERCIST Liver Algorithm (Intersection with Suspicious Uptake Masks): Identified by "an expert reader." This implies a single expert's identification served as the ground truth. No adjudication mentioned.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done
- No, a formal MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers with and without AI assistance is not described in this document.
- The studies conducted focus on the algorithm's performance against historical data, expert interpretations, or comparing an improved algorithm to a predicate algorithm.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Study was Done
- Yes, standalone performance studies were conducted for specific features:
- Improved Lung Segmentation: The Dice coefficient and ASSD evaluation was a standalone algorithmic performance assessment against presumed expert-derived ground truth.
- Improved PERCIST Liver Algorithm (binary liver mask input): The Dice coefficient and ASSD evaluation for the liver mask was a standalone algorithmic performance assessment.
- Improved PERCIST Liver Algorithm (Reference Region Placement): The comparison of the algorithm's results to the semi-automatic evaluation by two expert readers is a standalone algorithm assessment, where the expert input constitutes the ground truth.
- Improved PERCIST Liver Algorithm (Intersection with Suspicious Uptake Masks): This was a standalone algorithmic evaluation of how often the algorithm's PERCIST VOIs intersected suspicious uptake areas identified by an expert.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- Improved Lung Segmentation: Likely expert consensus/manual segmentation (implied by Dice coefficient and ASSD, which compare algorithm output to a gold standard segmentation).
- Improved PERCIST Liver Algorithm (binary liver mask input): Likely expert consensus/manual segmentation (implied by Dice coefficient and ASSD for the liver mask).
- Improved PERCIST Liver Algorithm (Reference Region Placement): Expert semi-automatic evaluation from two expert readers. These semi-automatic outputs were treated as the reference standard.
- Improved PERCIST Liver Algorithm (Intersection with Suspicious Uptake Masks): Expert identification of suspicious tracer uptake masks by a single expert reader.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- Not explicitly stated in the document. The document mentions that the lung lobe segmentation algorithm was "re-trained with additional data" and that there was "No overlap of patients between training, tuning, and test cohorts," but does not provide details on the training set's size.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- Not explicitly stated in the document. For machine learning models, ground truth for training data is typically established through expert labeling (e.g., manual segmentation, disease annotation), but the specifics are not provided here.

6. Indications for Use Comparison to the Predicate Device
The indications for use are the same between the subject device and the primary predicate device.
Page 7
7. Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device
MI View&GO with software version VA40 software provides the same technological characteristics in terms of materials, energy source, and control mechanisms when compared to the legally marketed predicate device since all devices are software only devices.
The software features have been modified in comparison to the predicate device to support enhanced device functionality.
The intended use, indications for use, and fundamental scientific technology for the subject device remains unchanged from the predicate device. No features present from the predicate device have been de-scoped.
At a high level, the subject and predicate devices are based on the following same technological elements:
- Data Supported (PET, SPECT, CT, MR)
- Server/Client architecture
- Workflow Activities (preprocessing, evaluation and reading, reporting and storage)
- Feature Licensing Structure
- SUV values calculated
The following technological differences exist between the subject device and predicate devices.
MI View&GO VA40:
- Features
- General Masking Tool
- VQ Ratio and Subtraction Images for Auto Lung 3D
- Improved Lung Segmentation
- Deauville Score
- Improved PERCIST Liver algorithm
- Improvements to Layout and Usability
- Cardiac Layout Enhancement
- Improvements to Layout Editing and User Presets
Any differences in technological characteristics do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. Testing and validation are completed. Test results show that the subject devices are comparable to the predicate devices in terms of technological characteristics and safety and effectiveness and therefore are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
8. Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Test Summary & Conclusions
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
Page 8
Software Verification and Validation
'Enhanced' software documentation per FDA's guidance document "Content of Premarket Submissions for Device Software Functions" issued on June, 2023 is also included as part of this submission. The performance data demonstrates continued conformance with special controls for medical devices containing software. The testing supports that all software specifications have met the predetermined acceptance criteria. Verification and validation testing substantiates all requirement and functional specifications, including specifications related to device hazards, and supports the claim of substantial equivalence.
Performance Testing
The device under application, MI View&GO (K254061), deploys the same improved Lung Segmentation and improved PERCIST Liver algorithm as cleared in the predicate / reference device syngo.via VC10 (K251528).
Improved Lung Segmentation
In addition to verification and validation testing, performance evaluation was conducted in order to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the lung lobe segmentation algorithm compared to the predicate device. The lung lobe segmentation algorithm was re-trained with additional data and is utilized within Auto Lung 3D.
Quantitative evaluation of the segmentation results was performed using the commonly used overlap measure Dice coefficient (DSC). The algorithm was tested retrospectively on an independent cohort of 20 patients that were not part of training or tuning cohort. The test cohort was augmented compared to the predicate to include new subjects. Half of the patients in the test cohort were new and the other 50% were randomly selected from the predicate testing cohort.
Performance was compared between the predicate and updated algorithms.
In summary:
I. No overlap of patients between training, tuning, and test cohorts.
II. Relevant test cohort parameters are as follows:
- ~50% male patients
- Slice thickness <=5 mm
- 50% of patients were from the US
- All patients from Siemens Scanner
- Adults, age > 21
Acceptance Criteria for organ segmentation:
- For new organs, the average Dice coefficient per organ shall be greater than 0.8 or the average symmetric surface distance (ASSD) per organ less than 2 voxel of worst slice thickness, i.e. 10 mm.
- For unchanged organs, the average Dice coefficient per organ shall be within +/-0.03 of the average Dice coefficient per organ of the predicate algorithm.
Page 9
- For improved organs, the average Dice coefficient per organ shall be greater or equal than the average Dice coefficient per organ of the predicate algorithm.
The average Dice coefficient for the 20 subjects was higher for each lobe in the subject device than in the predicate device, although not greater than a +0.03 difference for all lobes.
The anatomy segmentation feature supports segmentation for a wide variety of organs. Since each organ utilizes a different model, the Dice-score on other organs (other than lungs and lung lobes) that were not retrained remained unchanged and this was verified by recalculating the Dice score with the new algorithm.
Improved PERCIST Liver algorithm
Additionally, performance evaluation was conducted for the improved PERCIST Liver algorithm.
The algorithm takes as input the PET/CT image together with a binary liver mask and returns the coordinates of the reference region center.
The performance specifications for the binary liver mask used as input to the algorithm are detailed below.
The test data consisted of 20 patients. The patients were obtained from clinical partners in Europe and USA. The data was randomly selected using the following stratification:
- No overlap of patients between training, tuning, and test cohorts
- Adults, Age > 21
- ~50% male patients
- Slice thickness <= 5 mm
- All subject from Siemens Scanner
The acceptance criteria for the liver is an average Dice coefficient greater than 0.8 or an average symmetric surface distance (ASSD) less than 10 mm. The liver met both criteria.
The performance evaluation for the updated PERCIST Liver algorithm is detailed below.
In the first analysis conducted, the reference standard used to evaluate the subject device method performance consisted of liver VOI positioning obtained semi-automatically by two expert readers. The subject device algorithm was then compared to the reference standard and shown to yield results in better agreement with semi-automatic evaluation by expert readers compared with the method of placement used in the predicate device.
The second analysis conducted focused on PET/CT scans presenting foci with suspicious tracer uptake either in the liver or with spill over to the liver, evaluating the subject and predicate devices based on how often the PERCIST VOIs intersected the suspicious uptake masks identified by an expert reader. Out of 129 subjects included in the analysis, the subject device had fewer intersections (4 cases) compared
Page 10
to the predicate device (13 cases). As with the predicate device, the user can manually reposition the PERCIST liver reference region at any time.
Clinical Testing
Clinical testing was not conducted for this submission.
Risk Analysis
The risk analysis was completed, and risk control implemented to mitigate identified hazards. The testing results support that all the software specifications have met the predetermined acceptance criteria. Testing for verification and validation of the device was found acceptable to support the claims of substantial equivalence.

Conclusion
There are no differences in the Indications for Use, Intended Use, or Fundamental Technological Characteristics of the MI View&GO VA40 software as compared to the currently commercially available MI View&GO VA30 software (K242300).
Both the current and predicate devices are used for viewing, manipulation, quantification, analysis, and comparison of medical images from single or multiple imaging modalities with one or more time-points.
Additionally, the new features implemented within this release do not raise any new issues of safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate device. Based on this information, as well as the documentation in support of the modifications, it is Siemens' opinion that the MI View&GO software—with the modifications outlined in this application—is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
