The description focuses on automated measurements, 3D rendering, and filtering techniques (Digital Contrast Agent) which are standard image processing functionalities, not explicitly AI/ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training or test sets.
No
The device is a post-processing software that assists in the evaluation and assessment of lung abnormalities from CT images, supporting diagnosis rather than providing direct therapy.
Yes
This device is designed to "measure abnormalities in the lung," "support the physician in confirming the presence or absence of physician identified lung lesions," and "aid in characterization of suspicious nodules." These functions are consistent with aiding in diagnosis.
Yes
The device is described as a "post processing analysis software package" that operates on existing CT scanners, workstations, and PACS systems. It does not include any hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that the Advanced Lung Analysis II software is a post-processing analysis software package that operates on Computed Tomography (CT) images. It analyzes images of the lung to identify and measure abnormalities.
- No Sample Analysis: The device does not involve the analysis of biological samples taken from the patient. Its input is imaging data.
Therefore, since the device works with medical images and not biological samples, it falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device. It is a medical image analysis software.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Advanced Lung Analysis II is intended to provide an optimized non-invasive application to measure abnormalities in the lung (for example, nodules, lesions, etc.) from a set of Computed Tomography (CT) images.
The software is designed to support the physician in confirming the presence or absence of physician identified lung lesions (e.g. nodules). The software allows measurement of volume over time using a consistent standardized measurement protocol, thus providing an estimation of the volume doubling time. ALA II software allows analysis and displays statistics for nodule characterization all the different nodule types.
ALA II optional Digital Contrast Agent (DCA) module is an automated highlight feature for the visual identification of possible lesions. Digital Contrast Agent (DCA) is a 3D filter that produces images that highlight spherical (S) and cylindrical (C) anatomical regions, such as nodules, cysts, scars, and vessels. Images are made available to the physician to aid in characterization of suspicious nodules and thus, the patient management care decision process.
ALA II provides to physician with additional information, meant to complement diagnosis based on classical techniques.

Device Description
CT Advanced Lung Analysis (ALA 2 / ALA II) is a post processing analysis software package designed to assist radiologists and other clinicians in the evaluation and assessment of nodules and other lesions in the lung.
Advanced Lung Analysis II provides an effective solution for providing quick analysis and measurements to help differentiate the radiologist's findings during the primary read. The software assesses and measures all lung nodule types, including measuring volume and their changes over time. Following a C1 scan, the user clicks on a specific nodule and the software automatically calculates and displays a 3-dimensional volume and rendering of the nodule as well as the associated measurements. Advanced Lung Analysis II also offers functionality for quick comparisons between the current and previous patient procedures.
The Digital Contrast Agent (DCA) option will further compliment the Radiologist's diagnostic capability by highlighting spherical (S) and cylindrical (C) anatomical regions, such as nodules, cysts, scars. and vessels.
ALA II and DCA are software options that operate on the GE family of LightSpeed multi-slice CT scanners. Advantage Workstation 4.2 (or higher), and GE PACS systems.

(a)
Identification. A medical image management and processing system is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images for the purposes of interpretation by a trained practitioner of disease detection, diagnosis, or patient management. The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.(b)
