Intended Use
The 3-D Imaging Workstation is intended to be used by physicians in the clinic or hospital for 2-D and 3-D visualization of ultrasound images of the prostate gland. Additional software features include patient data management, multi-planar reconstruction, segmentation, image measurement and 3-D image registration.
Device Description
The 3-D Imaging Workstation is designed to display the 2-D live video received from commercially available ultrasound machines and use this 2-D video to reconstruct a 3-D ultrasound image. The system has been designed to work with the clinicians' existing ultrasound machine, end fire TRUS probe, commercially available needle guide and needle gun combination. Additional software features include patient data management, multiplanar reconstruction, segmentation, image measurement and 3-D image registration. The 3-D Imaging Workstation is comprised of a mechanical assembly that holds the ultrasound probe and tracks probe position while the physician performs a normal ultrasound imaging procedure of the subject prostate. The mechanical tracker is connected to a PC-based workstation containing a video digitizing card and running the image processing software. Control of the ultrasound probe and ultrasound system is done manually by the physician, just as it would be in the absence of the 3-D Imaging Workstation. However, by tracking the position and orientation of the ultrasound probe while capturing the video image, the workstation is able to reconstruct and display a 3-D image and 3-D rendered surface model of the prostate. The reconstructed 3-D image can be further processed to perform various measurements including volume estimation, and can be examined for abnormalities by the physician. Patient information, notes, and images may be stored for future retrieval. Locations for biopsies may be selected by the physician, displayed on the 3-D image and 3-D rendered surface model, and stored. Previously stored 3-D models may be recalled and a stored 3-D model may be aligned or registered to the current 3-D model of the prostate. Finally, the physician may attach a commercially available biopsy needle guide to the TRUS probe and use the probe and biopsy needle to perform tissue biopsy. Whenever the ultrasound machine is turned on by the physician, the live 2-D ultrasound image is displayed on the screen of 3-D Imaging Workstation during the biopsy. As the TRUS probe with attached needle guide is maneuvered by the physician, the position and orientation of the probe is tracked. The 3-D Imaging Workstation is able to add, display and edit plans for biopsy sites as well as an estimate of the probe position and needle trajectory relative to the 3-D image and 3-D rendered surface model of the prostate. The 3-D Imaging Workstation offers the physician additional 3-D information for assessing prostate abnormalities, planning and implementing biopsy procedures. The additional image processing features are generated with minimal changes to previous TRUS probe based procedures, and the physician always has access to the live 2-D ultrasound image during prostate assessment or biopsy procedure.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on traditional image processing techniques like reconstruction, segmentation, and registration, without mentioning AI or ML algorithms.

No
The device is described as an imaging workstation that aids in visualization, measurement, and planning. It does not exert any direct therapeutic action on the patient.

Yes
The device is described as allowing the physician to "examine abnormalities" and providing "additional 3-D information for assessing prostate abnormalities," which are key functions of a diagnostic device. It aids in the visualization and assessment of health conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system is comprised of a "mechanical assembly that holds the ultrasound probe and tracks probe position" and is connected to a "PC-based workstation containing a video digitizing card". These are hardware components, making it more than just software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The description clearly states that this device is used for "2-D and 3-D visualization of ultrasound images of the prostate gland" and for "reconstructing a 3-D ultrasound image" from live 2-D video. This is imaging of the body itself, not analysis of a biological sample taken from the body.
  • The device processes and displays imaging data. While it performs image processing, this is applied to ultrasound images acquired directly from the patient, not to in vitro samples.
  • The intended use is for visualization, measurement, and planning related to in-vivo imaging and procedures. The description focuses on using the 3-D images for assessing abnormalities, planning biopsies, and guiding procedures, all of which are performed on the patient.

Therefore, the 3-D Imaging Workstation falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

The mechanical tracker is connected to a PC-based workstation containing a video digitizing card and running the image processing software.

Locations for biopsies may be selected by the physician, displayed on the 3-D image and 3-D rendered surface model, and stored. Previously stored 3-D models may be recalled and a stored 3-D model may be aligned or registered to the current 3-D model of the prostate.

Finally, the physician may attach a commercially available biopsy needle guide to the TRUS probe and use the probe and biopsy needle to perform tissue biopsy. Whenever the ultrasound machine is turned on by the physician, the live 2-D ultrasound image is displayed on the screen of 3-D Imaging Workstation during the biopsy.

The 3-D Imaging Workstation offers the physician additional 3-D information for assessing prostate abnormalities, planning and implementing biopsy procedures. The additional image processing features are generated with minimal changes to previous TRUS probe based procedures, and the physician always has access to the live 2-D ultrasound image during prostate assessment or biopsy procedure.

Substantial Equivalence

5

The product's technical features are substantially equivalent to the 3-Dnet Suite (K063107) and the XELERIS 2 Processing and Review Workstation (K051673). The 3-D Imaging Workstation is primarily a software product that runs on a PC-based workstation. Image data is input to the devices and used to generate 3-D views and perform image processing. Like the two predicate devices, the software has image measurement, multi-planar reformatting, segmentation and image registration abilities, image storage and retrieval, as well as patient information management functions.

The 3-D Net Suite and XELERIS 2 are software products that accept multiple image data types including magnetic resonance, computed tomography and ultrasound. The 3-D Imaging Workstation has been designed for ultrasound imaging, using standard analog NTSC video input from commercially available transrectal ultrasound systems. The 3-D Imaging Workstation incorporates a mechanical device to track the position of an end fire ultrasound probe. Ultrasound system operation and transrectal probe movement all remain under manual control of the physician.

Testing and Performance Data

All product and engineering specifications were verified and validated. Test phantoms incorporating simulated prostates were developed and used to verify system performance through verification, validation (Appendix D) and benchmarking (Appendix F).

Conclusion

5

The results of comparing the intended use, function, technological characteristics, mode of operation and specifications of the 3-D Imaging Workstation with those of the two predicate devices demonstrate that the 3-D Imaging Workstation is substantially equivalent to existing products in the market today.
