Intended Use

AmCAD-UT® Detection 2.0 is a Windows-based computer-assisted detection (CADe) device intended to assist the medical professionals in analyzing thyroid ultrasound images of user-selected regions of interest (ROI). After the initial review of the ultrasound images by the physicians, the device further provides detailed information with quantification and visualization of sonographic characteristics of thyroid nodules. The device is intended for use on Philips HDI5000 images of discrete thyroid nodules larger than 1cm, for which a biopsy has been recommended. The device performance has been validated on images collected from Philips HDI5000 with a 5-12MHz multi-frequency probe.

Device Description

AmCAD-UT® Detection 2.0 is a Windows-based computer-assisted detection (CADe) software application device designed to assist medical professionals in analyzing thyroid ultrasound images of user selected regions of interest (ROI). The device uses statistical pattern recognition and quantification methods to perform analytical function of images. For thyroid ultrasound, these pattern recognition and quantification methods are used by a medical professional to analyze DICOM/JPEG/Bitmap compliant thyroid ultrasound images. The software application consists of proprietary software developed by AmCad BioMed Corporation. The software is a Windows-based that may be installed on a standalone PC or review station. AmCAD-UT® Detection 2.0 user interface is designed to follow typical clinical workflow patterns to process, review, and analyze digital images. After the initial review of thyroid ultrasound images by the physician, he/she can use AmCAD-UT® Detection 2.0 to analyze the thyroid images for further interpretation. The physician selects an ROI (Region of Interest) to define the initial boundary of the ROI. Once the ROI is confirmed, the physician may process the image for detection and quantification of sonographic characteristics (i.e., hyperechoic foci, echo-pattern, echo-texture, and anechoic areas) by AmCAD-UT® Detection 2.0. The device provides more detailed information with quantification and visualization of the sonographic characteristics of thyroid nodule that may assist physician in his/her complete interpretation. The software application also automatically generates reports given the user preference inputs (e.g., the nodule size, nodule location and shape, and the presence or absence of the sonographic characteristics) annotated during the image analysis process. A report form has been designed by AmCad to be consistent with the conventional clinical thyroid report form. An output of the report may be viewed and sent to paper printers or saved on the standalone PC or review station as PDF file.

  • Yes, standalone performance testing was done. The document states: "AmCad BioMed Corporation has conducted standalone and clinical reader performance studies to validate and assess the performance of the AmCAD-UT® Detection 2.0 for its intended use. The standalone studies include the detection accuracy testing, reproducibility testing, and algorithm stability testing."

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

  • The ground truth used for performance studies included:
    • Region of Interest (ROI) definition.
    • Presence of each sonographic characteristic (hyperechoic foci, echo-pattern, echo-texture, and anechoic areas).
    • Surgical pathology examination result.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

  • The document does not provide information regarding the sample size used for the training set.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

  • The document does not explicitly describe how the ground truth for the training set was established. However, given that the "surgical pathology examination result" and evaluation of sonographic characteristics are used for performance studies, it is reasonable to infer a similar process would be used for training data, likely involving expert review and pathology confirmation.
