Intended Use
Fusion7D registers pairs of anatomical and functional volumetric images (e.g. MRI-SPECT, MRI-PET, CT-SPECT, CT-PET), or pairs of anatomical volumetric images (e.g. MRI-MRI, CT-CT and MRI-CT) as a means to ease the comparison of image volume data by the clinician. The result of the registration operation aims to help the clinician obtain a better understanding of the joint information that would otherwise have to be compared visually. This is useful for a wide range of clinical and therapeutic applications. It is important to note that the clinician retains the ultimate responsibility for making the pertinent diagnosis based on their standard procedures including visual comparison of the separate unregistered images. Fusion7D is a complement to these standard procedures.
Device Description
Fusion7D is a software program running on a PC platform, which brings into alignment (registers) pairs of images from different imaging modalities. Fusion7D also includes functionality to read, display, and save the original volumetric data and the results of the registration operation by means of a graphic user interface that includes visualization, file browsing and control of input and output as described in the following text.
More Information

No
The document describes image registration software and explicitly states "Not Found" for mentions of AI, DNN, or ML. The description focuses on traditional image processing techniques for alignment.

No.
The device is described as a software program that registers pairs of volumetric images to aid clinicians in understanding joint information, but it explicitly states that the clinician retains ultimate responsibility for diagnosis and it is a complement, not a replacement, for standard procedures. It falls under "Image Processing System" and is described as a "Picture Archiving and Communications System," which are diagnostic, not therapeutic, tools.

No

The device is an image processing system that helps clinicians compare image volume data, but the manufacturer explicitly states that the clinician retains the ultimate responsibility for diagnosis and that the device is a complement to standard procedures, not a diagnostic tool itself.

Yes

The device description explicitly states that Fusion7D is a "software program running on a PC platform" and describes its functionalities as software-based image processing and display. There is no mention of accompanying hardware components that are part of the device itself.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that Fusion7D registers and displays images to ease the comparison of image volume data by the clinician and help the clinician obtain a better understanding of the joint information. It explicitly states that the clinician retains the ultimate responsibility for making the pertinent diagnosis and that Fusion7D is a complement to these standard procedures. This indicates that the device is providing information to aid the clinician's interpretation of existing diagnostic images, rather than performing a test on a biological specimen to provide diagnostic information itself.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on software for image registration, display, and manipulation. It does not mention any interaction with biological samples or the analysis of biological markers.
  • Mentions image processing: The classification as "Image Processing System" further supports its role in manipulating and presenting images, not performing in vitro tests.
  • Input Imaging Modality: The input modalities are medical imaging techniques (MRI, CT, SPECT, PET), which produce images of the body, not results from tests on biological samples.

IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. Fusion7D operates on existing medical images, which are not biological specimens in the context of IVD regulation.

Device Description

Fusion7D is a software program running on a PC platform, which brings into alignment (registers) pairs of images from different imaging modalities. Fusion7D also includes functionality to read, display, and save the original volumetric data and the results of the registration operation by means of a graphic user interface that includes visualization, file browsing and control of input and output as described in the following text.
Medical images can be divided into anatomical images (e.g. CT and conventional MRI), and functional images (e.g. SPECT and PET). Fusion7D provides two registration solutions: 1. It enables the comparison of pairs of anatomical images (to assess changes in anatomical structures) and 2. It correlates the structures seen in an anatomical dataset with the activity detected in functional images.
The registration operation can be a) manual: whereby the user defines the transformation that brings the two datasets into as close alignment as possible, b) semi-automatic: in which the user inputs a series of landmarks in one dataset and the software provides matching landmarks in the other, and c) automatic: in which the software requires no user input and finds the transformation between the two datasets based on the characteristics of the images. In all these cases the transformation is limited to a rigid body deformation (i.e. 3D translation and rotation).
The Fusion7D software incorporates standard visualization facilities to visualize the input DICOM data and the results of the registration operations. This simple visualization GUI includes:

  • orthogonal and any-plane slicing of the volumetric data (but no 3D reconstruction), .
  • . whole and region of interest zooming,
  • panning. .
  • . window and level controls,
  • image overlays for which the transparency, threshold and colormap is user controlled. ●
    The Fusion7D software allows the registration results to be displayed in a variety of ways including: the overlay of one dataset on another, the simultaneous binding of cursors in two volumes and the generation of a split pane image.

Critical Definitions:

| Image Registration | The alignment of one or more [medical] images to a reference image
in order to facilitate geometric comparison. This is a numerical
operation that results in the computation of an explicit mathematical
transformation between every point in the registered image sets. |
|--------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Image Fusion | Registration forms the basis of image fusion in the sense that the
geometrical alignment of images is a prerequisite. The notion of
"fusion" takes this a step further by considering how to visualize the
content of different images representing the same object [organ,
anatomical region, etc.]. Such techniques include the use of overlays,
semi-transparent renderings, etc. |

NOTE: In the context of this application, the term "registration" and "fusion" may be used interchangeably to describe geometric alignment of images and subsequent visualization.

Device description:

Fusion7D is a software program running on a PC platform, which brings into alignment (registers) pairs of images from different imaging modalities. Fusion7D also includes functionality to read, display, and save the original volumetric data and the results of the registration operation by means of a graphic user interface that includes visualization, file browsing and control of input and output as described in the following text.

Registration Engine

Medical images can be divided into anatomical images (e.g. CT and conventional MRI), and functional images (e.g. SPECT and PET). Fusion7D provides two registration solutions: 1. It enables the comparison of pairs of anatomical images (to assess changes in anatomical structures) and 2. It correlates the structures seen in an anatomical dataset with the activity detected in functional images.

| Source | Target | Source | Target |
| MRI | MRI | MRI | PET |
| MRI | CT | MRI | SPECT |
| CT | CT | CT | PET |

Fusion7D is therefore useful to register the following pairs of datasets:

The registration operation can be a) manual: whereby the user defines the transformation that brings the two datasets into as close alignment as possible, b) semi-automatic: in which the user inputs a series of landmarks in one dataset and the software provides matching landmarks in the other, and c) automatic: in which the software requires no user input and finds the transformation between the two datasets based on the characteristics of the images. In all these cases the transformation is limited to a rigid body deformation (i.e. 3D translation and rotation).

Data/Image Browsing and Visualization

The Fusion7D software incorporates standard visualization facilities to visualize the input DICOM data and the results of the registration operations. This simple visualization GUI includes:

  • orthogonal and any-plane slicing of the volumetric data (but no 3D reconstruction), .
  • . whole and region of interest zooming,
  • panning. .
  • . window and level controls,
  • image overlays for which the transparency, threshold and colormap is user controlled. ●

The Fusion7D software allows the registration results to be displayed in a variety of ways including: the overlay of one dataset on another, the simultaneous binding of cursors in two volumes and the generation of a split pane image.

Intended Use:

Fusion7D registers pairs of anatomical and functional volumetric images (e.g. MRI-SPECT, MRI-PET, CT-SPECT, CT-PET), or pairs of anatomical volumetric images (e.g. MRI-MRI, CT-CT and MRI-CT) as a means to ease the comparison of image data. The result of the registration operation aims to help the clinician obtain a better understanding of the joint information that would otherwise have to be compared visually. This is useful for a wide range of clinical and therapeutic applications. It is important to note that the clinician retains the ultimate responsibility for making the pertinent diagnosis based on their standard procedures, including visual comparison of the separate unregistered images. Fusion7D is a complement to these standard procedures.
