It reconstructs a three-dimensional matrix of the examined volume and produces two-dimensional views of such volume, displaying both two- and three-dimensional images. The NewTom 5G can measure distances and thickness on two-dimensional images. Such images can be printed or exported on magnetic and optical media.
The NewTom 5G hardware, including a scanner unit (comprised of the X-ray source, flat panel detector and the motorized arm) and a motorized patient support, facilitates the acquisition of a full X-ray sequence by the device software. The NewTom 5G software runs on an x86 architecture based workstation. The NewTom 5G reconstructs a three-dimensional model of X-ray images similar to the three-dimensional model obtained using the parent NewTom VG Computed Tomography X-Ray System.
This document describes the NewTom 5G Computed Tomography X-Ray System. The provided text is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than providing detailed acceptance criteria and a standalone study for a new AI/software component. Therefore, much of the requested information regarding AI device performance, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert consensus for ground truth, and MRMC studies is not available in the provided text.
The submission highlights minor technological differences between the NewTom 5G and its predicate device, the NewTom VG, primarily concerning patient positioning and image quality/reliability improvements through hardware and software modifications. The core imaging principle (360-degree rotational X-ray sequence to reconstruct 3D models for diagnostic support in dento-maxillofacial radiology) remains the same.

4. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The NewTom 5G is a dedicated X-ray imaging device that acquires a 360-degree rotational X-ray sequence of images. It reconstructs a three-dimensional matrix of the examined volume and produces two-dimensional views of such volume, displaying both two- and three-dimensional images. The NewTom 5G can measure distances and thickness on two-dimensional images. Such images can be printed or exported on magnetic and optical media.
{1}------------------------------------------------
The NewTom 5G is designed for use in diagnostic support both in dento-maxillofacial radiology, with a particular reference to "planning" and to monitoring of implantations and in the field of maxillofacial surgery.
The NewTom 5G hardware, including a scanner unit (comprised of the X-ray source, flat panel detector and the motorized arm) and a motorized patient support, facilitates the acquisition of a full X-ray sequence by the device software. The NewTom 5G software runs on an x86 architecture based workstation. The NewTom 5G reconstructs a three-dimensional model of X-ray images similar to the three-dimensional model obtained using the parent NewTom VG Computed Tomography X-Ray System.
క. INTENDED USE
The NewTom 5G is a dedicated X-ray imaging device that acquires a 360-degree rotational X-ray sequence of images for use as diagnostic support in radiology of the dento-maxillo-facial complex and in the field of maxillofacial surgery. The NewTom 5G accomplishes this task by reconstructing a three-dimensional matrix of the examined volume, producing two-dimensional views of this volume and displaying both twodimensional images and three-dimensional renderings.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE 6.
The technological characteristics of the NewTom 5G computed tomography X-ray system and the parent NewTom VG Computed Tomography X-Ray System are substantially equivalent since they are devices designed to provide images for use as diagnostic support in radiology of the dento-maxillo-facial complex and in the field of maxillofacial surgery. The proposed NewTom 5G and the parent NewTom VG are computer controlled dedicated X-ray imaging devices that construct three-dimensional models from images taken during a rotational X-ray sequence. It is optimized for bone morphology analysis of the maxillofacial region.
The proposed NewTom 5G and the NewTom VG both use an X-ray imaging system that acquires a 360 degrees rotational X-ray sequence and reconstructs a threedimensional matrix of the examined volume and produces two-dimensional views of this volume, displaying both two- and three-dimensional images.
The proposed NewTom 5G hardware includes a scanner unit and a motorized patient support whereas the parent NewTom VG system consists of the same components of the scanner unit (X-ray source, flat panel detector and motorized arm) with a different
{2}------------------------------------------------
patient support. The proposed NewTom 5G allows imaging to be performed in a supine position and the parent NewTom VG system only allows imaging to be performed in sitting and standing position. The above differences do not impact safety or effectiveness since both the parent NewTom VG and the proposed NewTom 5G system are identical in that they are computer controlled dedicated X-ray imaging devices that constructs three-dimensional models from images taken during a rotational X-ray sequence. The technological characteristics for both the proposed New Tom 5G and the parent NewTom VG devices provide the user with a method of constructing a threedimensional models from images taken during a rotational X-ray sequence. Therefore, hardware and software modification to support the new ergonomics and to improve image quality and reliability represent minor technological differences that do not affect the overall safety or effectiveness of the proposed NewTom 5G Computed Tomography X-ray System.
7. PERFORMANCE TESTING
Electrical safety, EMC/EMI testing, and verification and validation testing were performed to support the hardware and software modifications. The NewTom 5G computed tomography X-ray system met all requirements, and functioned as intended and is therefore safe and effective for its intended use.
