Intended Use
The Advance Image Enhancement, Inc.'s Region of Interest Image Enhancement software is intended to improve the sharpness and clarity of subtle image features. The device used with FDA cleared monitors may be used by a trained physician or healthcare professional for display. manipulation and interpretation of lossless compressed mammographic images for screening and diagnostic mammography, as well as any other DICOM multi-modality image. The AIE software is intended as an added tool residing on any DICOM image workstation for improving the radiologist's perception of image features on any lossless compressed or noncompressed multi-modality DICOM "for-presentation" image. This software would be used while the radiologist is reviewing magnification window image segments on FDA cleared monitors and is intended to complement existing DICOM image workstation functionality. Warning: Lossy compressed mammographic images and digitized film screen images must not be reviewed for primary image interpretations. Mammographic images may only be interpreted using an FDA approved monitor that offers at least 5 Mpixel resolution and meets other technical specifications reviewed and accepted by FDA.
Device Description
The Region of Interest Image Enhancement for Digital Mammography (ROILE-DM) software created by Advanced Image Enhancement, Inc. is intended to improve the overall ability of an image reader to resolve abnormalities with greater confidence in their findings. The AIE software is intended to improve the sharpness and clarity of subtle image features. The device used with FDA cleared monitors may be used by a trained physician for display, manipulation and interpretation of lossless compressed or noncompressed mammographic images for screening and diagnostic mammography, as well as any other DICOM multi-modality image. The intended operational environment is the radiology reading room or any other FDA approved environment.
More Information

No
The summary describes image enhancement software using traditional image processing techniques, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The software is an image enhancement tool for radiologists, intended to improve the sharpness and clarity of image features for interpretation, not to provide therapy.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the software is for "interpretation of lossless compressed mammographic images for screening and diagnostic mammography." The "Device Description" also mentions its use for "display, manipulation and interpretation of lossless compressed or noncompressed mammographic images for screening and diagnostic mammography." These phrases directly indicate its use in the diagnostic process.

Yes

The device is explicitly described as "software" and its function is image enhancement and manipulation, which are software-based operations. While it operates on images from various modalities and requires FDA-cleared monitors, the core device itself is the software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device function: The description clearly states that this software is intended to improve the display, manipulation, and interpretation of medical images (mammographic and other DICOM multi-modality images). It processes existing images, not biological samples.
  • Intended use: The intended use is for trained physicians and healthcare professionals to review and interpret medical images on a workstation. This is a diagnostic imaging tool, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

The device falls under the category of medical image processing software, which is a different type of medical device regulated by the FDA.

§ 892.2050 Medical image management and processing system.

(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)
