Device Description

The Revolution CT is a multi-slice (256 detector row) CT scanner consisting of a gantry, patient table, scanner desktop (operator console), system cabinet, power distribution unit (PDU), and interconnecting cables. The system includes image acquisition hardware, image acquisition and reconstruction software, and associated accessories.

The system generates images through the computer reconstruction of data acquired at different angles and planes of the rotating gantry. The gantry rotates at up to 0.28 seconds per rotation, and can acquire up to 512 slices of image data per rotation with a maximum total coverage of 160 mm in the z direction. The gantry however is designed to be able to rotate at 0.20 second per rotation. The system can be operated in Axial, Cine, Helical (Volumetric), Cardiac, and Gated acquisition modes.

The Revolution CT system is a powerful Volume High Definition CT scanner that is designed to provide best-in-class technologies for whole organ coverage, high image quality and responsible dose performance with the following characteristics:

  • 160 mm detector coverage
  • 140ms temporal resolution (0.28s rot. Speed) combined with intelligent motion correction with SnapShot Freeze for excellent cardiac imaging at any heart rate.
  • 0.23 mm spatial resolution
  • A wide bore (80-cm bore size) to image all patients allowing better patient positioning & access.
  • The next-generation of iterative reconstruction technology, ASiR-V, designed to deliver ultra-low noise levels, improved low contrast detectability and may enable a reduction in dose for all clinical applications

Built upon the existing technologies the Revolution system is designed to use less radiation dose than the previous generation product while maintaining the same diagnostic level of image quality. Further, the fast speed of the scan could potentially reduce contrast volumes. The hardware platform is also capable of supporting Gemstone spectral imaging and 0.2s rotation speed.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the GE Healthcare Revolution CT, based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The provided text for the GE Healthcare Revolution CT does not explicitly define quantitative acceptance criteria for specific performance metrics in a readily tabular format. Instead, it states that "The results of this clinical assessment demonstrate the acceptable diagnostic imaging performance of the GE Healthcare Revolution CT scanner." and that the device is "as safe and effective, and performs in a substantially equivalent manner to the predicate device Discovery CT750 HD".

However, the document does list key performance characteristics and areas of evaluation for both non-clinical and clinical testing, which implicitly serve as the basis for "acceptable performance."

Acceptance Criteria (Implicit)Reported Device Performance (Summary from submission)
Overall Diagnostic Imaging PerformanceDemonstrated "acceptable diagnostic imaging performance" as evaluated by multiple qualified radiologists.
Image Quality (General)Excellent image quality at full 160mm coverage. Evaluations included artifacts, scatter, spatial resolution, and low contrast detectability (LCD).
Whole Organ CoverageAchieved with 160mm detector coverage, enabling imaging of whole organs like brain, heart, liver, kidney, pancreas.
Temporal Resolution (Cardiac Imaging)140ms temporal resolution (0.28s rot. Speed) combined with intelligent motion correction (SnapShot Freeze) for excellent cardiac imaging at any heart rate.
Spatial Resolution0.23 mm spatial resolution.
Dose PerformanceDesigned to use less radiation dose than the previous generation product while maintaining diagnostic image quality; ASiR-V technology designed to enable reduction in dose for all clinical applications.
Low Contrast Detectability (LCD)Evaluated using a model observer study with the MITA LCD phantom.
CT Number Uniformity & ArtifactsGemstone Clarity detector and 3D collimator minimize scatter artifacts, ensure HU uniformity, and reduce beam hardening artifacts. Volumetric High Definition (VHD) algorithm designed to reduce cone-beam artifacts and maintain CT number uniformity.
Scanning ModesSupports Axial, Cine, Helical (Volumetric), Cardiac, and Gated acquisition modes.
Wide Bore Size80-cm bore size to image all patients, allowing better patient positioning & access.
Safety & EffectivenessDetermined to be "as safe and effective, and performs in a substantially equivalent manner to the predicate device."

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size: 49 subjects.
  • Data Provenance:
    • Country of Origin: United States.
    • Retrospective or Prospective: Prospective. The text states, "Sample clinical data was collected from 49 subjects at one site in the US... Patients were selected for potential recruitment to meet these needs. Any patient who met these criteria stated in the Protocol and who voluntarily signed the Informed Consent Form was recruited."

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

The document does not explicitly state that "ground truth" was established by experts in a specific, annotated sense. Instead, it describes a clinical assessment of image quality and diagnostic performance.

  • Number of Experts: "multiple readers." A specific number is not provided.
  • Qualifications of Experts: "qualified radiologists at different institutions in the United States of America." Further details on their years of experience or subspecialty are not provided.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document describes the evaluation being done by "multiple readers" who are "qualified radiologists" using a "5 point Likert scale." It does not specify if there was a formal adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1 consensus process) for disagreeing interpretations among these readers or how their individual Likert scale ratings were combined or adjudicated to reach the overall conclusion of "acceptable diagnostic imaging performance." It simply states "The results of this clinical assessment demonstrate the acceptable diagnostic imaging performance."

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size

While "multiple readers" were involved in the clinical assessment, it was not a comparative effectiveness study pitting human readers with AI assistance versus without AI assistance. The study evaluated the Revolution CT scanner's performance (which incorporates advanced algorithms like ASiR-V and SnapShot Freeze as integral parts of its image reconstruction), but there is no mention of comparing human readers' performance with and without these specific AI-driven features as a standalone intervention. Therefore, no effect size of human readers improving with AI vs. without AI assistance is reported.

6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done

Yes, in a sense. The document describes extensive Non-Clinical Testing where various mathematical, physics, and statistical analyses were performed using phantoms and clinical datasets to verify and substantiate performance specifications. This includes evaluation of temporal resolution, dose performance, and image quality metrics like artifacts, scatter, spatial resolution, and low contrast detectability (using a model observer study with the MITA LCD phantom). These evaluations assess the device's technical performance, including its algorithms, without direct human interpretation of clinical images for diagnosis.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The concept of "ground truth" for the clinical study is implicitly the radiologists' assessment of the diagnostic quality and clinical acceptance of the images. It's a form of expert consensus/assessment of image quality and diagnostic utility, rather than comparison to a definitive, independent "ground truth" like pathology for specific disease detection. The radiologists evaluated images using a 5-point Likert scale for "clinical acceptance and image quality."

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not provide a specific sample size for a "training set" for the Revolution CT's algorithms (like ASiR-V or VHD). It describes the algorithms as new technologies (e.g., "ASiR-V, the next generation of GE's ASiR iterative recon technology") and states they were "designed" to address specific challenges (e.g., "Volumetric High Definition (VHD) has been designed specifically to reduce cone-beam artifacts"). This suggests they are developed and refined through engineering, physics, and potentially extensive internal datasets, but the specific training set size is not disclosed in this 510(k) summary.

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

Since a specific training set or its "ground truth" establishment isn't detailed in this summary, it can only be inferred:

  • For reconstruction algorithms like ASiR-V and VHD, ground truth would typically involve physics-based simulations, phantom data (with known properties), and potentially large datasets of clinical images used for iterative refinement and validation of noise reduction, artifact suppression, and image quality metrics. This process would rely on engineering specifications, known physics of CT image formation, and expert review of image characteristics.
  • The document states, "The software user interface has been redesigned to provide more simplified workflow and user experience," implying a focus on usability, which would involve user feedback and design principles rather than a traditional "ground truth" for a diagnostic algorithm.

In summary, the 510(k) focuses on demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device through engineering verification, adherence to standards, and a clinical assessment of image quality and diagnostic acceptability by qualified radiologists, rather than a detailed breakdown of acceptance criteria and ground truth for individual AI/algorithmic components.

Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the General Electric (GE) logo. The logo consists of the letters 'G' and 'E' intertwined within a circular border. The logo is black and white.

The Revolution CT is intended to be a head and whole body CT system incorporating the same basic fundamental operating principles and the same intended for use as the predicate device. Materials and construction are equivalent to our existing marketed products, which are compliant with AAMI/ES 60601-1, IEC 60601-1(30 ed) and associated collateral and particular standards, 21CFR Subchapter J, and NEMA XR-25. It has been developed under the same GE quality system and has successfully completed design controls activities, including risk management, verification, and validation.

Intended Use

The system is intended for head, whole body, cardiac and vascular X-ray Computed Tomography applications.

Indications for Use:

The system is intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission projection data from the same axial plane taken at different angles. The system has the capability to image whole organs in a single rotation. Whole organs include but are not limited to brain, heart, liver , kidney, pancreas, etc.. The system may acquire data using Axial, Cine, Helical, Cardiac , and Gated CT scan techniques from patients of all ages. These images may be obtained either with or without contrast. This device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, components and accessories.

This device may include data and image processing to produce images in a variety of transaxial and reformatted planes. Further, the images can be post processed to produce additional imaging planes or analysis results

The system is indicated for head, whole body, cardiac, and vascular X-ray Computed Tomography applications.

The device output is a valuable medical tool for the diagnosis of disease, trauma, or abnormality and for planning, guiding, and monitoring therapy..

Technology:

The Revolution CT is built on the existing technologies of the predicate device Discovery CT750 HD. The vast majority of the software features and functions are common between the two products. The software user interface has been redesigned to provide more simplified workflow and user experience. Hardware components including the imaging chain however have been upgraded to support the new and improved capabilities.

The most notable changes in the imaging chain as compared to the predicate device Discovery CT750 HD is described below.

Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: The image shows the General Electric (GE) logo. The logo consists of the letters 'GE' in a stylized, cursive font, enclosed within a circular frame. Three swirling shapes surround the circle, adding a dynamic element to the design. The logo is presented in black and white.

The Revolution CT system features the new "Gemstone Clarity" detector consisting of 256 rows at 0.625mm row thickness and a full 160mm z-coverage, the redesigned gantry with a 80cm bore and improved iterative reconstruction technology, allowing the system to deliver excellent image quality at full 160mm coverage to enable whole organ imaging.

The Gemstone Clarity detector features a unique focally aligned layout of the detector submodules and a 3D collimator (post patient) to minimize scatter artifacts, ensure HU uniformity & reduce beam hardening artifacts associated with wide coverage systems.

To house the wide Gemstone Clarity detector, the Revolution gantry has been redesigned with high specifications of strength and rigidity that support fast rotation speeds for acquisitions with high temporal resolution. while providing an 80cm bore opening to accommodate patients with positioning flexibility and comfort. With an improved center mount design that balances the mechanical forces generated by the rotating components, the gantry and detector assembly is capable of supporting accelerations that ensures reliable operation at today's 0.28 seconds per rotation, and can be extended to support imaging at 0.20 seconds per rotation in the future.

On the rotating gantry, the new Performix HDw tube tailored for the wide angle geometry generates the X-ray beam for patient imaging.

To address the challenges of the wide cone-beam geometry of the new scanner, a new advanced image reconstruction algorithm called Volumetric High Definition (VHD) has been designed specifically to reduce cone-beam artifacts and maintain CT number uniformity.

The image reconstruction engine further includes ASiR-V, the next generation of GE's ASiR iterative recon technology for noise reduction and dose management. Finally, GE's SnapShot Freeze technology is supported on all cardiac acquisitions to improve the temporal properties of the reconstructed images when visualizing the coronaries.

Despite the changes described above, the control mechanism, operating principle, energy type, and intended use have not changed from the predicate device Discovery CT750 HD.

Adverse Effects on Health:

Potential electrical, mechanical, and radiation hazards are identified in risk management including hazard analysis and controlled by:

  • · System verification and validation to ensure performance to specifications, Federal Regulations, and user requirements.
  • · Adherence and certification to industry and international standards. (AAMI/ES and IEC60601-1 Ed.3 and associated collateral and particular standards for CT).
  • · Compliance to applicable CDRH 21CFR subchapter J requirements.
  • · Compliance to NEMA XR-25

The device is designed and manufactured under the Quality System Regulations of 21CFR 820.

GE believes the Revolution CT system is of comparable type and substantially equivalent to our currently marketed system Discovery CT750 HD.

The substantial equivalence was also based on software documentation for a "Moderate" level of concern device.

Summary of Additional Testing

In addition to the verification and validation testing successfully completed as required by GE Healthcare's quality system, additional enqineering (non-Clinical testing) and clinical performance testing was performed to provide the requisite data to substantiate performance claims, the revised indications, and ultimately substantial equivalence.

Non-Clinical Testing

The performance evaluation testing used a variety of test methods, phantoms, and clinical datasets. Various mathematical, physics and statistical analysis were performed to demonstrate that each performance specification was successfully verified and substantiated. The areas additionally evaluated for the non-clinical testing included cardiac, cardiovascular, and thoracic imaging; temporal resolution, dose performance, and image quality. The image quality evaluation included evaluation for artifacts, scatter, spatial resolution, and low contrast detectability. For the LCD evaluation, a model observer study was used along with the MITA LCD phantom. Acceptance testing per IEC 61223-3-5 was also conducted.

Clinical Testing

Sample clinical data was collected from 49 subjects at one site in the US with the approval of appropriate ethics committee and in accordance with 21 CFR Parts 812, 50 and 56, as well as GE Healthcare's quality system's procedures for such evaluations.

The intent of the protocol was to obtain a sample set of clinical images across different patient populations, clinical scenarios, and scanning protocols/techniques. Patients were selected for potential recruitment to meet these needs. Any patient who met these criteria stated in the Protocol and who voluntarily signed the Informed Consent Form was recruited.

This sample image data was representative of a wide range of anatomical coverage and patient indications and was categorized into the following types of scans:

  • Cardiac Coronary CTA, Stress/Rest Perfusion, Cardiac Function, Calcium . Burden, Gated Chest (Triple Rule Out), TAVI
  • Body & Extremity Abd/Pelvis, Chest, Ankle, Shoulder, Knee, Spine .
  • . Neuro - Sinus, General Brain, Contrast Enhanced Brain, Neuroangiography, Neuro Perfusion, Neuro 4D CTA

The images were evaluated by multiple readers who are qualified radiologists at different institutions in the United States of America for clinical acceptance and image quality using a 5 point Likert scale.

The results of this clinical assessment demonstrate the acceptable diagnostic imaging performance of the GE Healthcare Revolution CT scanner.

Substantial Equivalence Conclusion:

Based on the conformance to standards, development under our quality system, and the engineering and clinical testing provided, GE Medical Systems believes that the Revolution CT is as safe and effective, and performs in a substantially equivalent manner to the predicate device Discovery CT750 HD (K120833).
