AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The provided document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device and discussing improvements. Explicit, quantitative acceptance criteria are not clearly defined as pass/fail thresholds in the same way they might be for a novel device with a specific performance claim. Instead, the "acceptance criteria" are implied by showing the new device performs "substantially equivalent to or demonstrates an improvement" over the predicate device, particularly in terms of image quality and dose reduction.

Performance MetricAcceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Image QualitySubstantially equivalent to or improved over predicate device.- CT image quality metrics (spatial resolution, CT number magnitude/uniformity, noise properties, low contrast detectability/CNR, contrast-to-noise ratio, uniformity, slice sensitivity profile, modulation transfer function, line pair gauge, standard deviation of noise, noise power spectra) were found "substantially equivalent to or demonstrates an improvement to the predicate device."- Diagnostic quality images for head, chest, abdomen/pelvis, extremity, and cardiac exams.- Superior LCD performance with FIRST.
Dose ReductionDemonstrate dose reduction while maintaining/improving image quality.- Dose reduction claim with a range of 59.2% to 82.4% supported.- 49.2% noise reduction demonstrated with FIRST.- Low Contrast Detectability (LCD) comparability at full dose (FBP) and reduced dose (FIRST 2.1) using a non-inferiority analysis with a model observer approach.
suRE Subtraction AngioImproved visibility of contrast enhancement over predicate device.- Visual assessment by doctors and clinical case examples determined "the visualization of contrast enhancement, especially blood vessels, are improved when compared to the predicate device."
suRE Subtraction Iodine MappingFunctions as intended to assess contrast enhancement and provide additional information for abdominal organs.- Visual assessment of clinical case examples determined "provides additional information for the assessment of abdominal organs, differential enhancement mapping images are useful visualization tools and CE Boost images provide improved CNR."

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

  • Test Set Sample Size:
    • Image Quality Metrics (Phantoms): Not explicitly stated, as it uses phantoms for objective measurements.
    • Quantitative Dose Reduction/Spatial Resolution Evaluations: Not explicitly stated, as it uses phantoms and a model observer approach to simulate human perception.
    • suRE Subtraction Angio & Iodine Mapping (Clinical Evaluation): Refers to "clinical case examples" but does not specify the number of cases.
    • Diagnostic Image Quality: "Representative diagnostic images" were obtained, but the number is not specified.
  • Data Provenance: Not specified in terms of country of origin. The studies are described as "bench testing" (phantoms), "model observer studies," and "clinical evaluation/case examples," implying a mix of objective measurements and human review of images. It does not state whether the clinical evaluations were retrospective or prospective, though "clinical case examples" often implies retrospective.

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

  • Quantitative Dose Reduction/Spatial Resolution Evaluations (LCD): "A model observer approach which incorporates some aspects of human vision was used." This is not human expert ground truth but an algorithm mimicking human perception.
  • suRE Subtraction Angio & Iodine Mapping: "Visual assessment scoring method by doctors" (Angio) and "visual assessment scoring method of clinical case examples" (Iodine Mapping). The number of doctors/experts is not specified. Their qualifications are broadly stated as "doctors" for Angio and not specified beyond "visual assessment" for Iodine Mapping.
  • Diagnostic Image Quality: "Representative diagnostic images, reviewed by an American Board Certified Radiologist." The number of radiologists is not specified (could be one or more). The qualification is "American Board Certified Radiologist."

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Not explicitly stated for the qualitative assessments. For the "visual assessment scoring method by doctors," it's not clear if there was a consensus process (e.g., 2+1, 3+1), or if individual assessments were aggregated.
  • For the dose reduction and image quality metrics using phantoms, adjudication is not applicable as it involves objective measurements or a model observer.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

  • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers comparing AI-assisted vs. non-AI-assisted performance was not explicitly described.
  • The document describes comparisons between images reconstructed with FIRST 2.1 (iterative reconstruction, the "AI" component) and Filtered Back Projection (FBP, the older method) in terms of objective metrics and model observer studies for dose reduction/spatial resolution.
  • For the suRE Subtraction features, it mentions "visual assessment scoring method by doctors" comparing the new features to the predicate device, but this is not framed as a rigorous MRMC study comparing human performance with and without the AI (FIRST 2.1) or the suRE features' assistance. It focuses on the features providing improved image visibility or additional information.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study

  • Yes, a standalone performance assessment was conducted.
  • The "Image Quality Evaluation" and "Quantitative Dose Reduction/Spatial Resolution Evaluations" sections primarily describe the standalone performance of the FIRST 2.1 algorithm. This includes:
    • CT image quality metrics (spatial resolution, noise, CNR, etc.) performed using phantoms.
    • The dose reduction and noise reduction claims were established by comparing FIRST 2.1 to FBP using phantom data and a model observer approach, which is an algorithmic assessment of image quality.
    • PUREViSION Optics (LCD and Noise Improvement) was evaluated via model observer studies using phantoms.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Phantom Data: For image quality metrics, dose reduction, and noise reduction evaluations (e.g., spatial resolution, CT number accuracy, low contrast detectability). This is an objective, physical standard.
  • Model Observer Approach: Used for low contrast detectability in the dose reduction studies. This is an algorithmic simulation of human perception, not human expert consensus or clinical outcomes.
  • Expert Visual Assessment/Clinical Case Examples: For suRE Subtraction Angio and Iodine Mapping, and for overall diagnostic image quality. This relies on medical expertise but is qualitative and subject to inter-observer variability if not rigorously adjudicated.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

  • The document does not provide any information regarding the training set sample size for the FIRST 2.1 iterative reconstruction algorithm. This information is typically proprietary to the manufacturer and not usually included in 510(k) summaries unless specifically relevant to a new and unprecedented AI claim.

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

  • Since the training set sample size is not provided, how its ground truth was established is also not described in this document. Iterative reconstruction algorithms like FIRST 2.1 are developed by optimizing parameters based on phantom data, simulated noise models, and sometimes a large dataset of patient images with associated image quality metrics, but the specifics are not detailed here.

17. TESTING

Risk analysis and verification/validation testing conducted through bench testing demonstrate that the established specifications for the device have been met. CT image quality metrics were performed, utilizing phantoms, which validated that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device with regard to spatial resolution, CT number magnitude/uniformity, noise properties and low contrast detectability/CNR performance.

Image Quality Evaluation

CT image quality metrics were performed, utilizing phantoms, which demonstrated that the subject device is substantially equivalent to or demonstrates an improvement to the predicate

{6}------------------------------------------------

device with regard to contrast-to noise ratio, CT number accuracy, uniformity, slice sensitivity profile, modulation transfer function, low contrast detectability, line pair gauge, standard deviation of noise and noise power spectra.

Quantitative Dose Reduction/Spatial Resolution Evaluations

A dose reduction study was conducted and based on the results, a dose reduction claim with the range 59.2 to 82.4% is supported, as well as a claim of dose reduction that demonstrated a 49.2% noise reduction with FIRST on the Aquilion ONE Genesis Edition. In addition, the testing demonstrates superior LCD performance with FIRST.

These claims were evaluated by comparing Toshiba's iterative reconstruction algorithm, FIRST version 2.1, to filtered backprojection on the Aquilion ONE Genesis Edition system. The dose reduction value was established by demonstrating comparability of low contrast detectability at full dose reconstructed with filtered backprojection (FBP), and at reduced dose reconstructed with FIRST 2.1 (IR). A model observer approach which incorporates some aspects of human vision was used for investigation and a non-inferiority analysis conducted. The noise reduction value was established by comparing the standard deviation of noise magnitude at full dose with FBP with the standard deviation of noise magnitude at variety of dose reduction levels using IR. The study was designed to use clinically realistic dose levels (i.e. acquisition techniques).

PUREViSION Optics Quantitative LCD and Noise Improvement

The subject device demonstrated improvements in low contrast detectability and noise reduction at the same dose as evaluated via model observer studies (MITA-FDA LCD Head and MITA-FDA LCD Body phantoms).

suRE Subtraction Angio Evaluation

A clinical evaluation was conducted to assess whether or not the visibility of contrast enhancement was improved using 80855ubtraction Angio over the predicate device. Utilizing a visual assessment scoring method by doctors and clinical case examples it was determined that the visualization of contrast enhancement, especially blood vessels, are improved when compared to the predicate device.

suRE Subtraction Iodine Mapping Evaluation

In order to determine if Subtraction lodine Mapping functions as intended as an adjunct visualization tool to assess the enhancement of the visibility of contrast agents and the ability to provide additional information of abdominal organs, a clinical evaluation was conducted. Utilizing a visual assessment scoring method of clinical case examples it was determined that បឋម Subtraction lodine Mapping provides additional information for the assessment of abdominal organs, differential enhancement mapping images are useful visualization tools and CE Boost images provide improved CNR.

Representative diagnostic images, reviewed by an American Board Certified Radiologist, including head, chest, abdomen/pelvis, extremity and cardiac exams were also obtained using the subject device which demonstrates that the device produces images of diagnostic quality and; therefore, performs as intended.

Software Documentation for a Moderate Level of Concern, per the FDA guidance document, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices Document" issued on May 11, 2005, is also included as part of this submission.

{7}------------------------------------------------

Additionally, testing of the subject device was conducted in accordance with the applicable standards published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for Medical Devices and CT Systems.

18. CONCLUSION

The Aquilion ONE (TSX-305A/3) V8.3 with FIRST 2.1 performs in a manner similar to and is intended for the same use as the predicate device, as indicated in product labeling. Based upon this information, conformance to standards, successful completion of software validation, application of risk management and design controls and the performance data presented in this submission it is concluded that the subject device is substantially equivalent in safety and effectiveness to the predicate device.
