The summary mentions "Image processing" but does not explicitly mention AI, ML, or related terms like deep learning, neural networks, or algorithms that are characteristic of AI/ML applications in medical imaging. The performance studies focus on traditional MRI features and phantom/volunteer studies, not AI/ML model validation.
No
The device is described as an "imaging device" used for "diagnosis determination" by providing "physiological and clinical information." It produces images that display internal structures, which are interpreted by a physician for diagnostic purposes, not for treatment.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the images obtained from the device, "When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in diagnosis determination," and lists "Diagnostic uses."
No
The device description explicitly states it is a Magnetic Resonance Imaging System that utilizes a 2.9 Tesla superconducting magnet in a gantry design, indicating it is a hardware device with associated software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is an "imaging device" that provides "physiological and clinical information, obtained non-invasively." It produces images of the internal structure of the body.
- Mechanism: The device utilizes Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), which is an imaging modality that works by exciting protons within the body using magnetic fields and radio waves, and then detecting the signals emitted. This is a non-invasive process performed on the patient's body.
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) are medical devices that are used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
The TRILLIUM Oval MRI System operates on the patient's body directly to produce images, rather than analyzing samples taken from the body. Therefore, it falls under the category of an imaging device, not an IVD.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The TRILLIUM Oval MRI System is an imaging device, and is intended to provide the physician with physiological and clinical information, obtained non-invasively and without the use of ionizing radiation. The MR system produces transverse, coronal, sagittal, oblique, and curved cross-sectional images that display the internal structure of the head, body, or extremities. The images produced by the MR system reflect the spatial distribution of protons (hydrogen nuclei) exhibiting magnetic resonance. The NMR properties that determine are proton density, spin-lattice relaxation time (T1), spin-spin relaxation time (T2), and flow. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in diagnosis determination.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
- Multi b and DKI: Test results from phantom simulations and volunteer studies confirm Multi b DKI images can be acquired in one scan utilizing Tensor 15 and Tensor 30 being added to the number of MPG Axes. Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging (DKI) is the diffusion-weighted imaging technique in restriction.
- k-Space Parallel Imaging: Test results from phantom simulations and volunteer studies indicate that k-space parallel imaqinq technique accelerates the scan by acquiring k-space data with skipped phase encoding and skipped position which is filled with estimated data by the interpolation of neighboring data.
- T2 RelaxMap*: Test results from phantom simulations and volunteer studies confirm that T2* relaxation time can be mapped on morphological image in color by using T2* RelaxMap function. The T2* RelaxMap function consists of (a) acquisition of multi-echo images (up to 32) and (b) analysis of T2* relaxation time.
- Vivid Image: Test results from phantom simulations and volunteer studies confirm improvement of overall SNR.
- RADAR-GE/TOF: Test results from phantom simulations and volunteer studies confirm the RADAR measurement feature is functioning with the GE and TOF sequence.
- ASL-Perfusion: Test results confirm ASL-Perfusion acquires perfusion images using labeled blood flowing into the brain tissue without Contrast-Enhanced both in phantom simulations and volunteer studies.
- Breast MRS: Test results from phantom simulations and volunteer studies confirm MRS (Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy) acquires the magnetic resonance signal of in vivo metabolites through chemical shift phenomenon and can detect Choline as metabolite in the breast area.
- Enhanced PC: Test results from phantom simulations and volunteer studies indicate a reduction in scan time of phase contrast (PC) sequence in 2D and 3D by shorting the TR by optimizing velocity encode gradient and applied parallel imaging (RAPID). As a result of this improvement, we can shorten scan time of "4D flow" which is time-resolved (CINE) three-dimensional (3D) spatial encoding combined with three-directional velocity encoded phase contrast MRI.
- PBSG: Test results from phantom simulations and volunteer studies confirm PBSG which is a sequence based on BASG sequence improves to mitigate the dark band artifact which is unique to BASG sequence. The PBSG sequence makes it possible to acquire BASG images under the condition of inhomogeneous magnetic field with less band artifact.
- Volume RF Shimming: Test results and volunteer studies confirm that Volume RF shimming improves B1 uniformity.

Device Description
Function
The TRILLIUM OVAL is a Magnetic Resonance Imaging System that utilizes a 2.9 Tesla superconducting magnet in a gantry design. The TRILLIUM OVAL has been designed to enhance clinical utility as compared to the ECHELON Oval by taking advantage of the stronger magnetic field and stronger gradient field and slew rate. There is no change in the system composition from the predicate device.

Scientific Concepts
Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI) is based on the fact that certain atomic nuclei have electromagnetic properties that cause them to act as small spinning bar magnets. The most ubiquitous of these nuclei is hydrogen, which makes it the primary nuclei currently used in maqnetic resonance imaging. When placed in a static maqnetic field, these nuclei assume a net orientation or alignment with the magnetic field, referred to as a net magnetization vector. The introduction of a short burst of radiofrequency (RF) excitation of a wavelength specific to the magnetic field strength and to the atomic nuclei under consideration can cause a re-orientation of the net magnetization vector. When the RF excitation is removed, the protons relax and return to their original vector. The rate of relaxation is exponential and varies with the character of the proton and its adjacent molecular environment. This re-orientation process is characterized by two exponential relaxation times, called T1 and T2. A RF emission or echo that can be measured accompanies these relaxation events.
The emissions are used to develop a representation of the relaxation events in a three dimensional matrix. Spatial localization is encoded into the echoes by varying the RF excitation, applying appropriate magnetic field gradients in the x, y, and z directions, and changing the direction and strength of these gradients. Images depicting the spatial distribution of the NMR characteristics can be reconstructed by using image processing techniques similar to those used in computed tomography.
Physical and Performance Characteristics
MRI is capable of producing high quality anatomical images without the associated risks of ionizing radiation. The biological properties that contribute to MR image contrast are different from those responsible for x-ray image contrast. In MR imaging, difference in proton density, blood flow, and T1 and T2 relaxation times can all contribute to image contrast. By varying the pulse sequence characteristics, the resulting images can emphasize T1, T2, proton density, or the molecular diffusion of water or other proton containing molecules. And MR system has the Function of measuring spectroscopy.

In addition, quality assurance measures were conducted on the new features of the TRILLIUM V5.1 MRI System, they include:
. Multi b and DKI
Test results from phantom simulations and volunteer studies confirm Multi b DKI images can be acquired in one scan utilizing Tensor 15 and Tensor 30 being added to the number of MPG Axes. Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging (DKI) is the diffusion-weighted imaging technique in restriction.
k-Space Parallel Imaging .
Test results from phantom simulations and volunteer studies indicate that k-space parallel imaqinq technique accelerates the scan by acquiring k-space data with skipped phase encoding and skipped position which is filled with estimated data by the interpolation of neighboring data.
. T2* RelaxMap
Test results from phantom simulations and volunteer studies confirm that T2* relaxation time can be mapped on morphological image in color by using T2* RelaxMap function. The T2* RelaxMap function consists of (a) acquisition of multi-echo images (up to 32) and (b) analysis of T2* relaxation time.
Vivid Image .
Test results from phantom simulations and volunteer studies confirm improvement of overall SNR.
RADAR-GE/TOF .
Test results from phantom simulations and volunteer studies confirm the RADAR measurement feature is functioning with the GE and TOF sequence.
. ASL-Perfusion
Test results confirm ASL-Perfusion acquires perfusion images using labeled blood flowing into the brain tissue without Contrast-Enhanced both in phantom simulations and volunteer studies.
● Breast MRS
Test results from phantom simulations and volunteer studies confirm MRS (Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy) acquires the magnetic resonance signal of in vivo metabolites through chemical shift phenomenon and can detect Choline as metabolite in the breast area.
Enhanced PC ●
Test results from phantom simulations and volunteer studies indicate a reduction in scan time of phase contrast (PC) sequence in 2D and 3D by shorting the TR by optimizing velocity encode gradient and applied parallel imaging (RAPID). As a result of this improvement, we can shorten scan time of "4D flow" which is time-resolved (CINE) three-dimensional (3D) spatial encoding combined with three-directional velocity encoded phase contrast MRI.
PBSG .
Test results from phantom simulations and volunteer studies confirm PBSG which is a sequence based on BASG sequence improves to mitigate the dark band artifact which is unique to BASG sequence. The PBSG sequence makes it possible to acquire BASG images under the condition of inhomogeneous magnetic field with less band artifact.
Volume RF Shimming .
Test results and volunteer studies confirm that Volume RF shimming improves B1 uniformity.
