Intended Use
The Vantage Pro Attenuation Correction Device option to gamma camera systems marketed by ADAC, a Philips Medical Systems Company, produces images that depict the anatomical density of a patient. The system is intended to provide an enhancement to the emission images acquired using the gamma camera system by correcting for attenuation effects in the patient. Vantage Pro includes additional quality assurance tools to evaluate the resulting density image.
Device Description
Vantage™ Pro (with ExSPECT™ III a truncation compensation algorithm) is an attenuation correction device, which will be marketed as an optional addition to ADAC Laboratories Gamma Camera products or cameras markcted by ADAC. Vantage Pro is an option that provides a patient's functional information, which is further improved by using the anatomical information, obtained using the external radioactive scanning line sources with special collimation to minimize patient exposure. In operation, the Vantage system utilizes two 250 mCi, easily managed, shielded radioactive scanning line sources containing 153GD, which arc attached to an ADAC gamma camera or a gamma camera marketed by ADAC. They are positioned opposite each of the two dctectors with parallel hole collimation while in 90-degree orientation. When a shutter on the shicided source is opened, a collimated beam of gamma ray photons is focused at cach opposing detector to form a transmission image of a patient placed in the field of view. Simultaneously, emission data is collected from the patient. Both sets of data are acquired and processed to produce an attenuation corrected emission image via MLEM iterative processor to production than a conventional Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) image. The MLEM reconstruction with attenuation correction includes image quality enhancements by correcting for the photopeak scatter via single energy window subtraction, downscatter via single energy window subtraction, and resolution recovery (RR). Also provided is a Post Acquisition QA tool that provides the uscr with feedback regarding the quality of the acquired images in that it alerts the user as to the level of any banding or truncation in the data as well as the level of counts, acquired in each data set. The attenuation correction method includes a user-selectable Bayesian itcrative reconstruction method, or an ordered subsct expectation maximization (OSEM) method, for reconstructing the transmission map. The Bayesian method is an iterative method that reduces image noise. The key components in this method are using a gamma prior to constrain the results, and a gradient algorithm approach for determining updates. In addition, this method includes a prior for reducing noise in woor count regions and reducing biases in the soft tissue region in the transmission data set. Vantage Pro improves the Bayesian method by incorporating a new algorithm to compensate for truncation of the transmission map. Vantage Pro (with ExSPECT III) is a modification of Vantage ExSPECT II. The algorithm modification updates the Bayesian attenuation correction algorithm to compensate for the truncated attenuation map (ExSPECT III) that may result from having a patient larger than the camera field of view. The Post Acquisition QA tool consists of three components: banding detection, truncation detection, and count level determination. Banding refers to the presence of bright sections or strips in the acquired image data set caused by a highly irregular heartbeat. Truncation occurs when a portion of the patient's body is not fully captured within the dimensions of the acquired image. Reconstruction of an image data set which exhibits truncation or banding would yield inappropriate clinical data containing major artifacts. The Post Acquisition QA tool detects banding or truncation which allows the user to reassess the image. In addition, this tool informs the user whether the image contains sufficient count density that would cosure proper data reconstruction. These features are of informative nature only, so that the raw data is not altered. The user may then use the warning information, raw data, and their own clinical experience to procced with a diagnostic decision.
More Information

Vantage ExSPECT II (K992078)

No
The description details iterative reconstruction algorithms (MLEM, OSEM, Bayesian) and image processing techniques, but does not mention AI or ML.

No.
The device is an attenuation correction device for gamma camera systems, intended to enhance emission images by correcting for attenuation effects and producing images depicting anatomical density. It is used for diagnostic imaging, not for treating a condition or disease.

Yes

The device aids in producing images that depict the anatomical density of a patient with corrected attenuation effects, and its Post Acquisition QA tool provides feedback (banding, truncation, count level) to the user, allowing them to use this information, along with raw data and clinical experience, to make a diagnostic decision. This indicates its role in providing information for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states that Vantage Pro is an "optional addition to ADAC Laboratories Gamma Camera products or cameras marketed by ADAC" and "utilizes two 250 mCi, easily managed, shielded radioactive scanning line sources containing 153GD, which arc attached to an ADAC gamma camera". This indicates the device includes significant hardware components (radioactive sources, shielding, attachment mechanisms) and is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "provide an enhancement to the emission images acquired using the gamma camera system by correcting for attenuation effects in the patient." This describes a function that improves the quality of medical images obtained from a patient, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient.
  • Device Description: The description details a system that uses radioactive sources and detectors to create images of the patient's internal anatomy and functional information. It processes this image data to improve its quality. This is consistent with an imaging device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

The device is clearly described as an "attenuation correction device" for gamma camera systems, which are medical imaging devices.

  • Technological Comparison (1.
    The modified device, Vantage Pro, offers all of the features of the existing device, Vantage ExSPECT II (K992078), while modifying the transmission reconstruction algorithm to compensate for truncated transmission images. The basic underlying

algorithm of the transmission map reconstruction remains a Bayesian Iterative method. A modification has been introduced to the definition of and use of the initial estimate (prior) to allow activity outside of the ficld of view of some mittar othinated based on the projections in which data is present. As with the existing Vantage, the reconstructed transmission map is then used to correct the patient's emission data for non-uniform photon attenuation.

The modified device and the existing device have the same indications for use, same source type and geometry, same system hardware and same operating principles.

Both the modified Vantage Pro with ExSPECT III and the predicate Vantage ExSPECT II software programs provide a patient's functional information, which is further improved by using anatomical information, obtained using external radioactive scanning line sources, with special collimation to minimize patient exposure.

Both the modified Vantage Pro with ExSPECT III and the predicate Vantage ExSPECT II use the same imaging technique of SPECT with attenuation correction and image quality enhancements by correcting for the Photopeak scatter, Downscatter, and Resolution Recovery (RR).

  • Conclusion H.
    The modified device, Vantage Pro, is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, Vantage ExSPECT II, based upon identical indications for use, technological comparison and overall system performance.
