Device Description
The Viatronix V3D Colon contains all of the required hardware and software components to provide interactive 3D and 2D views of diagnostic CT and MR scan images of the colon. The views include both inner and outer surface 3D volume rendered images as well as orthogonal and multiplaner reformatted 2D images. This ability to view the dataset in different perspectives from which it was acquired is performed by first transferring DICOM images from the MR or CT scanners to the Viatronix V3D Colon, which automatically identifies regions of interest and displays these regions to the user in the above mentioned views. The user can then navigate freely within the dataset/region of interest or follow automatically computed paths to fly through the colon or around the outside of the colon structure. Measurements of the size of colon polyps, masses or lesion can be made for patient screening and for planning treatment.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
An independent clinical study was performed using Viatronix V3D Colon to screen for Colorectal Neoplasia in Asymptomatic adults at US Government's Department of Defense Medical Centers. This independent study was funded by the US Government. A total of 1233 asymptomatic adults underwent same day virtual colonoscopy using V3D Colon and optical colonoscopy. The study report is published in the New England Journal of Medicinc on December 4, 2003, VOL. 349, NO 23. A copy of this study report is Attached in exhibit # 5.
Initial Clinical tests: Clinical tests on patients were done to verify that the system performs as intended with a broad sampling of input data. Each patient was assessed as to whether the core functionality of the Viatronix V3D Colon permitted fly through and visualization. Comparisons were made with optical endoscopy to give a qualitative judgment as to its ability to visualize structures. Comparisons to its predicate devices were also made as to its quality and effectivencss.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Clinical study to screen for Colorectal Neoplasia in Asymptomatic Adults:
Study type: Clinical study comparing Virtual Colonoscopy (VC) with Optical Colonoscopy (OC) for screening of Colorectal Neoplasia.
Sample size: 1233 asymptomatic adults.
Key results:
Virtual Colonoscopy (VC) sensitivity by patient for adenomatous polyps was 93.8% (for 10 mm), 93.9% (for 8 mm), and 88.7% (for 6 mm).
Optical Colonoscopy (OC) sensitivity by patient for adenomatous polyps was 87.5% (for 10 mm), 91.5% (for 8 mm), and 92.3% (for 6 mm).
VC specificity by patient for adenomatous polyps of same threshold sizes was 96.0% (for 10 mm), 92.2% (for 8 mm) and 79.6% (for 6 mm).
Two polyps were malignant; both were detected on VC and one was missed on OC before the results onVC were revealed.
Conclusions: CT virtual colonoscopy with a 3D emphasis is an accurate screening mcthod for detection of colorectal neoplasia in asymptomatic averagerisk adults and compares favorably with optical colonoscopy in terms of the detection of clinically relevant lesions.

4. Device Description:
The Viatronix V3D Colon contains all of the required hardware and software components to provide interactive 3D and 2D views of diagnostic CT and MR scan images of the colon. The views include both inner and outer surface 3D volume rendered images as well as orthogonal and multiplaner reformatted 2D images. This ability to view the dataset in different perspectives from which it was acquired is performed by first transferring DICOM images from the MR or CT scanners to the Viatronix V3D Colon, which automatically identifies regions of interest and displays thesc regions to the user in the above mentioned views. The user can then navigate freely within the dataset/region of interest or follow automatically computed paths to fly through the colon or around the outside of the colon structure. Measurements of the size of colon polyps, masses or lesion can be made for patient screening and for planning treatment.
ડ. Intended Use:
The Viatronix V3D Colon is a system for the display and visualization of 3D and 2D medical image data of the colon derived from DICOM 3.0 compliant CT and MR scans, for the purpose of patient screening for detection of colon cancers, polyps, masses and other Icsions. It provides functionality for display, measurement and electronic cleansing to assure complete visualization of the colon from rectum to cccum and vice versa for both prone and supine views. It generates a centerline for guided interactive navigation and fly through of the cntire colon, and also includes a reporting facility to enhance workflow for patient screening. It is intended for use by Radiologists, Clinicians and referring Physicians to process, render, review, archive, print and distribute colon image studies utilizing PC hardware.
6. Comparison to Predicate Devices:
The Viatronix V3D Colon Module (V3D Colon) utilizes the same technological characteristics as the five predicate devices. All provide multi-view user interfaces with combinations of 2D and 3D views correlated together for enhanced visualization. All provide measurement tools fro analysis of the observed structures; allow adjustment to virtual lighting parameters to emphasize
2
details, and provide window/level adjustment of the 2D Views to cnhance features.
V3D Colon and all five predicates, provide external 3D views. Only G.E. Navigator, 3D Virtuoso, Vitrca 2, and VVS provide endolunimal 3D views. As with Vitrea 2, Voxar VC, and VVS, the V3D Colon Module utilizes direct volume rendering for all of its 3D views, including transparent volume images and visible surface views. While 3D Virtuoso provides volume rendered images, in some cases there is initial surface extraction. G.E. Navigator utilizes surface extraction techniques for all 3D views. For changing the mapping to opacity during translucent views, V3D Colon is similar to Siemens 3D Virtuoso, Voxar VC. Vitrea 2. and VVS devices because all use the same technique of volume rendering.
With V3D Colon, the user may choose between automatic path planning or interactive flight control. The G.E. Navigator also automatically plans a path, but requires the user to build the path in many short segments by pressing a button for each step. In essence, the V3D Colon Module performs the Navigator "auto step and align" function multiple times until the end of the organ is found. Vital Images Vitrea 2 allow the user to move forward by dragging the mouse forward keeping the viewpoint within the hollow of the organ by bouncing off the walls. VVS and V3D Colon also restrict the view to the hollow of the organ by bouncing off the walls in a similar way.
Siemens 3D Virtuoso performs semi-automatic segmentation by calculating each step of the segmentation process, allowing the user to view the results and then interactively adjust any incorrect features. The V3D Colon Module is similar, but performs the complete segmentation before requiring the user to interact with the system to adjust the results.
G.E. Navigator, Voxar VC, VVS, and V3D Colon are specifically designed to streamline the typical colon examination. They provide the ability to load both supine and prone datasets at the same time. Thy also allow the setting of landmarks (points of interest), reviewing these in an organized fashion, and the entering of comments specific to each landmark.
We conclude that the subject device, the Viatronix V3D Colon, is as safe and effective as its predicate devices and poses no new questions of safety and effectiveness.
7. Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Performed for Determination of Substantial Equivalence is as follows:
Testing was conducted using phantoms with structures of a known size and distance from the start inserted into the phantom. The person using the system did not have advance knowledge as to the number of structures nor their size and
3
location. An indcpendent reviewer then compared the test results with the actual phantoms and made an assessment as to accuracy.
The Viatronix V3D Colon has been developed in a manner consistent with accepted standards for software development, including test protocols. Testing on phantom objects has determined its level of accuracy; which is substantially equivalent to that of its predicate devices. The product has shown itself to be reliable, easy to use and capable of rendering useful 3D medical images.
Discussion on Clinical Tests/Evaluations Performed 8.0
8.1 Clinical study to screen for Colorectal Neoplasia in Asymptomatic Adults
An independent clinical study was performed using Viatronix V3D Colon to screen for Colorectal Neoplasia in Asymptomatic adults at US Government's Department of Defense Medical Centers. This independent study was funded by the US Government. A total of 1233 asymptomatic adults underwent same day virtual colonoscopy using V3D Colon and optical colonoscopy. The Sensitivity and specificity of Virtual Colonoscopy (VC) and the sensitivity of Optical Colonoscopy (OC) were calculated. The study report is published in the New England Journal of Medicinc on December 4, 2003, VOL. 349, NO 23. A copy of this study report is Attached in exhibit # 5.
Results: Virtual Colonoscopy (VC) sensitivity by patient for adenomatous polyps was 93.8% , 93.9%, and 88.7% for size thresholds of 10, 8, and 6 mm, respectively. At the same polyp size thresholds, Optical Colonoscopy (OC) sensitivity by patient for adenomatous polyps was 87.5%, 91.5%, and 92.3%, respectively. VC specificity by patient for adenomatous polyps of same threshold sizes was 96.0% , 92.2% and 79.6% respectively. Two polyps were malignant; hoth were detected on VC and one was missed on OC before the results onVC were revealed.
Conclusions: CT virtual colonoscopy with a 3D emphasis is an accurate screening mcthod for detection of colorectal neoplasia in asymptomatic averagerisk adults and compares favorably with optical colonoscopy in terms of the detection of clinically relevant lesions.
8.2 Initial Clinical tests :
Clinical tests on patients were done to verify that the system performs as intended with a broad sampling of input data. Each patient was assessed as to whether the core functionality of the Viatronix V3D Colon permitted fly through and visualization. Comparisons were made with optical endoscopy to give a qualitative judgment as to its ability to visualize structures. Comparisons to its predicate devices were also made as to its quality and effectivencss. Results:
The Clinical data was reviewed by a radiologist who determined that the rendering was accurate and medically useful. The radiologist was experienced with the predicate devices and found it substantially equivalent in essential
4
features with improvements in the speed of rendering and the ease of performing segmentation.
Conclusions:
We conclude from these tests that the Viatronix V3D Colon is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices in its ability to render 3 D images for use in medical diagnostics. In comparison to optical endoscopy, the Viatronix V3D Colon is able to visualize structures of similar size and shape.
