Intended Use
Volume Viewer Plus is a medical diagnostic software that allows the processing, review, and communication of 3D reconstructed images and their relationship acquired images from CT, MR, X-Ray Angio and PET Scanning devices. The combination of acquired images, reconstructed images, annotations and measurements performed by the clinician are intended to provide to the referring physician clinically relevant information for diagnosis, surgery and treatment planning.
Device Description
Volume Viewer Plus is a software package to be used on the GE Advantage Workstation, the GE Centricity PACS Workstation and the GE CT Operator Consoles (LightSpeed and HiSpeed). It allows the 3D processing, review and analysis of DICOM CT, MR, X-Ray Angio and PET images previously acquired, reconstructed and transferred on the corresponding workstation. This software provides Multi-Planar Reformation (MPR) views in any plane (orthogonal, oblique or curved), 3D views in any rendering mode (MIP, MinIP, Average, Volume Rendering, Fly-Through) and their correlation to originally acquired images. Its user interface provides the tools to manipulate, annotate, measure and record these views as well as output an exam report. Additional features allow for segmentation of anatomy as well as display of multi-phase and/or fused hybrid images (PET/CT, PET/MR).
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes standard image processing and visualization techniques (MPR, 3D rendering, segmentation) and does not mention AI or ML.

No.
This device is a diagnostic software used for image processing and analysis, not for treatment or therapy. Its intended use is to provide information for diagnosis, surgery, and treatment planning, rather than directly performing therapeutic actions.

Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "Volume Viewer Plus is a medical diagnostic software," and further clarifies that the information provided to the referring physician is for "diagnosis, surgery and treatment planning."

Yes

The device is described as a "software package" that runs on existing hardware (GE Advantage Workstation, GE Centricity PACS Workstation, GE CT Operator Consoles). The description focuses entirely on the software's functionalities for processing, reviewing, and analyzing medical images, with no mention of accompanying or integrated hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis. The description of Volume Viewer Plus clearly states it processes and reviews images acquired from imaging modalities like CT, MR, X-Ray Angio, and PET. It does not interact with or analyze biological specimens.
  • The intended use is focused on processing and reviewing medical images for diagnostic purposes, surgery, and treatment planning. This is a core function of medical imaging software, not IVD.

The device is a medical diagnostic software, but it falls under the category of medical imaging software rather than IVD.
