No
The document describes standard image processing and analysis techniques for MRI data (BOLD fMRI, DWI/Fiber Tracking, Dynamic Analysis) and does not mention any AI or ML algorithms. The description focuses on visualization and analysis of pre-acquired data using established methods.
No
The device is described as image processing software for viewing, analysis, and processing of medical images, focusing on diagnosis and visualization rather than direct treatment or therapy.
Yes
The device performs image viewing, processing, and analysis of medical images to highlight medical conditions such as altered blood flow from neuronal activity (BOLD fMRI), visualize water diffusion properties, and display white matter structure (DWI/Fiber Tracking), and analyze changes in contrast over time in the brain. These functions are consistent with a diagnostic device that aids in identifying or characterizing medical conditions.
Yes
The device is described as a "software package" that "runs on a standard 'off-the-shelf' PC-workstation" and performs image viewing, processing, and analysis. There is no mention of proprietary hardware components included with the device.
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 examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- nordicICE's Function: nordicICE is an image processing software that analyzes medical images acquired directly from imaging modalities like MRI. It does not analyze specimens taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "image viewing, processing and analysis of medical images" from DICOM compliant imaging devices.
- Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a "medical viewing, analysis, and processing package" for images taken primarily from an MRI system.
Therefore, nordicICE falls under the category of medical imaging software, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
nordicICE is an image processing software package to be used by trained professionals including but not limited to physicians and medical technicians. The software runs on a standard "off-the-shelf" PC-workstation and can be used to perform image viewing, processing and analysis of medical images. Data and images are acquired through DICOM compliant imaging devices and modalities.
nordicICE provides both viewing and analysis capabilities of functional and dynamic imaging datasets acquired with MRI or other relevant modalities, including blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) fMRI, diffusion weighted MRI (DWI) / fiber tracking and dynamic analysis.
BOLD fMRI: BOLD analysis is used to highlight small magnetic susceptibility changes in the human brain in areas with altered blood-flow resulting from neuronal activity.
DWI/Fiber Tracking: Diffusion analysis is used to visualize local water diffusion properties from the analysis of diffusion-weighted MRI data. Fiber tracking utilize the directional dependency of the diffusion to display the white matter structure in the brain.
Dynamic Analysis: Dynamic analysis is used for visualization and analysis of dynamic imaging data of the brain, showing properties of changes in contrast over time where such techniques are useful or necessary.

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)

Device Description
nordiclCE – Nordic Image Control and Evaluation software – is a medical viewing, analysis, and processing package developed with a view to ease of use and high performance on a standard Windows platform. The software provides a wide range of basic image processing and manipulation functions, in addition to comprehensive functionality for dynamic image analysis and processing/display of functional MRI (fMRI) data. The main user of the program will be imaging professionals who need to visualize and analyze images taken primarily from a MRI system.
Intended Use
nordiclCE is an image processing software package to be used by trained professionals including but not limited to physicians and medical technicians. The software runs on a standard "off-the-shelf" PCworkstation and can be used to perform image viewing, processing and analysis of medical images. Data and images are acquired through DICOM compliant imaging devices and modalities.
nordicICE provides both viewing and analysis capabilities of functional and dynamic imaging datasets acquired with MRI or other relevant modalities, including blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) fMRI, diffusion weighted MRI (DWI) / fiber tracking and dynamic analysis.
BOLD fMRI: BOLD analysis is used to highlight small magnetic susceptibility changes in the human brain in areas with altered blood-flow resulting from neuronal activity.
DWI/Fiber Tracking: Diffusion analysis is used to visualize local water diffusion properties from the analysis of diffusion-weighted MRI data. Fiber tracking utilize the directional dependency of the diffusion to display the white matter structure in the brain.
Dynamic Analysis: Dynamic analysis is used for visualization and analysis of dynamic imaging data of the brain, showing properties of changes in contrast over time where such techniques are useful or necessary.
Identification of Change to Unmodified Device
The nordicICE software offers comprehensive functionality for dynamic image analysis and visualization, where signal changes over time are analyzed to determine various modality dependent functional parameters. Now this functionality has been extended to include dedicated analysis methods and visualization tools for dynamic contrast enhanced imaging data (from MRI or CT) where a bolus injection of a contrast agent material results in a temporal change in the signal intensity. This dynamic change in signal intensity is used to calculate functional parameters related to tissue flow (perfusion) and tissue blood volume as well as leakage (due to capillary permeability) of the injected contrast material from the intravascular- to the extracellular space. The functionality has been implemented as additional software modules to the existing device, and is referred to as:

The changes summarized above are the only modification made to the nordicICE software.
Statement of Substantial Equivalence
To summarize, the modified nordic!CE software is found substantial equivalent to the previously cleared device. The modified software only includes additional modules which-extend the current functionality used for dynamic image analysis and the indications for the modified nordic!CE software have remained unchanged.
Summary of Testing
The nordicICE software has been tested for function and safety and fulfills all requirement specifications.
