The description focuses on standard image visualization and manipulation techniques (MIP, MPR, oblique views, comparison, stereo viewing) and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.
No.
This device is image visualization software used for processing, reviewing, storing, printing, and distributing DICOM compliant image studies, not for treating conditions.
No
Explanation: The device is described as software for processing and visualizing CT and MR studies (MIP/MPR). It aids in the viewing and manipulation of medical images, but it does not perform diagnosis itself. The Intended Use section states it "enables the display of 3D (MIP/MPR) visualization," and the Device Description highlights its function in displaying and manipulating images for radiologists and clinicians. This indicates it's a tool for image presentation, not a diagnostic tool that provides a medical conclusion.
Yes
The device is described as a "software package" intended to be used with existing workstation software and standard PC hardware. The description focuses entirely on the software's functionality for image visualization and manipulation, with no mention of proprietary hardware components included with the device itself.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- Device function: The Synapse Image Visualization Software MIP/MPR Obliquus is a software package that processes and visualizes medical images (CT and MR studies) that have already been acquired from the patient. It does not interact with or analyze biological specimens.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for displaying 3D visualizations of CT and MR studies for radiologists, technologists, and clinicians. This is a post-acquisition image processing and visualization tool, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.
The software's function is to aid in the interpretation of existing medical images, which falls under the category of medical image processing and visualization software, not in vitro diagnostics.

Description of the Device
Obliquus is an integrated Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) and Multi-Planar Reformatting (MPR) software package intended to be used with Fuji Synapse Workstation Software Version 3.1.1 and higher. This software is designed to be used by radiologists, clinicians and referring physicians to acquire, process, review, store, print and distribute DICOM compliant image studies utilizing standard PC hardware. Obliquus offers similar user interface and image manipulation functionality as was cleared in Synapse Workstation software version 3.1.0.
The Obliquus software enables the user to display MPR visualization of CT or MRI studies in Synapse. Once opened in Synapse, the images can be presented in the following viewers:
MPR Viewer: Visualizes a study image of the selected series in the following four types of plane images:
(1) Original view is the original CT or MRI study image.
(2) Reformatted A view represents visualization of the original view orthogonal to the original study plane (i.e., if original image is axial, then Reformatted A will be of the coronal plane).
(3) Reformatted B view represents visualization of the original view orthogonal to the original study plane (i.e., if the original image is axial, then Reformatted B will be of the sagittal plane).
(4) Oblique view shows a plane image from any direction specified by the user.
Compare Viewer: Compare viewer consists of four windows and up to four series that can be displayed for visual comparison. The Compare viewer functions are as follows:
- . Synchronously display images of each series
- Make synchronous display setting which includes adjusting slice position and changing . synchro unit
- . Switch among 3 orthogonal plane images
- Set rendering mode and slab thickness .
- Display patient study and image information .
- . Toggle with the MPR viewer
Stereo Viewer: Presents images for stereopsis, particularly for Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) MIP images. The Stereo viewer's functions include:
- . Rotating and displaying plane images horizontally
- . Setting image display format
- . Setting rendering mode, slab thickness and projection angle interval
- . Display patient, study and image information
- . Toggle with the MPR viewer
Images can be saved either as bitmap files or to the Synapse server.
