More Information

No
The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the description focuses on image processing and registration techniques without mentioning AI/ML algorithms.

No
This device is a software application for image visualization, registration, and fusion, used for mapping planning information. It does not directly provide therapy or therapeutic interventions.

Yes
The device is described as "Multi-Modality Image Fusion is a software application to be used by physicians in the clinic or hospital for 2-D and 3-D visualization, image registration, and fusion of MRI, CT and Ultrasound imaging modalities for mapping planning information across modalities." It aims to provide mapping planning information to physicians, which is a key function of diagnostic devices. Although the provided information does not explicitly state it as "diagnostic," the nature of processing and presenting medical images for physicians to use in mapping planning strongly implies a diagnostic purpose.

Yes

The device description explicitly states that the device is "software, which comprises of two software components". While performance studies mention "MMIF Hardware verification Test Procedure" and "complete system consisting of both the online and off line software installed on specified hardware", the core device being submitted for 510(k) is described as software. The hardware is likely the platform on which the software runs, not part of the regulated device itself.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "2-D and 3-D visualization, image registration, and fusion of MRI, CT and Ultrasound imaging modalities for mapping planning information across modalities." This describes a tool for image processing and planning, not for examining specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on software for image preparation, fusion, and visualization. It doesn't mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens (blood, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests. The focus is entirely on medical imaging data.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of medical imaging software, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Description of the Device and Summary of the Technological Characteristics:

Multi-Modality Image Fusion (MMIF) is software, which comprises of two software components, which is referred to as offline and online. The offline component perfains to the preparation of gland and suspected lesion boundaries on a DICOM image file days or hours prior to the biopsy procedure. The online component fuses the DICOM image files, which were, prepared on the offline component, with a snap shot incoming TRUS image. Each of the two software components can work together or independently.

Offline Software

The offline software can delineate suspected areas of interest using visualization and save this data in a standard format, e.g. as a surface mesh in VTK or STL format. Furthermore, the

offline software can ontionally delineate the gland boundary from a DICOM image, or other volumes where the boundary can be easily observed. This addition data is also saved in a standard format. e.g. surface mesh in VTK or STL or as a binary volume. This software would be typically executed by Radiologists.

Online Software

The online unit software is designed to fuse two images by entering a fusion mode and load the DICOM image and the boundary data provided by the offline unit. The online unit performs rigid alignment, either selecting globally align that orients the two DICOM volumes based on the known relative orientation difference between the two or specify landmarks to register images rigidly. The online unit then elastically warps the image to register on the incoming image from the offline unit.

The registered image volume is displayed on the incoming offline image frame of reference. Also overlaid on the incoming offline and registered image volumes annotating the suspected lesion boundaries. The two volumes are displayed side-by-side in a locked view. Rotation, slicing, panning, or zooming one of the volumes has the same effect on the other enabling visualization of similar features in both volumes simultaneously.

Plan targets on the volumes by selecting suitable locations within the suspected areas of interest boundary. When sufficient targets have been added, exiting fusion mode imports all targets planned in the offline frame of reference back to the original reconstructed ultrasound volume. This is done based on the deformation field that was estimated from registration (rigid followed by elastic registration).
