Intended Use

The Siemens Biograph Horizon PET/CT systems are combined Tomography (CT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanners that provide registration of high resolution physiologic and anatomic information.

The CT component produces cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of X-Ray transmission data from either the same axial plane taken at different angles or spiral planes taken at different angles. The PET subsystem images and measures the distribution of PET radiopharmaceuticals in humans for the purpose of determining various metabolic (molecular) and physiologic functions within the human body and utilizes the CT for fast attenuation correction maps for PET studies and precise anatomical reference for the fused PET and CT images.

The system maintains independent functionality of the CT and PET devices, allowing for single modality CT and / or PET diagnostic imaging.

These systems are intended to be utilized by appropriately trained health care professionals to aid in detecting, localizing, diagnosing, staging and restaging of lesions, tumors, disease and organ function for the evaluation of diseases and disorders such as, but not limited to, cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders and cancer . The images produced by the system can also be used by the physician to aid in radiotherapy treatment planning and interventional radiology procedures.

This CT system can be used for low dose lung cancer screening in high risk populations *

Device Description

The Biograph Horizon PET/CT systems are combined multi-slice X-Ray Computed Tomography and Positron Emission Tomography scanners. These systems are designed for whole body oncology, neurology and cardiology examinations. The Biograph Horizon systems provide registration and fusion of high-resolution metabolic and anatomic information from the two major components of each system (PET and CT). Additional components of the system include a patient handling system and acquisition and processing workstations with associated software.

Biograph Horizon software is a command based program used for patient management, data management, scan control, image reconstruction and image archival and evaluation. All images conform to DICOM imaging format requirements.

The software for the Bioqraph Horizon systems which is the subject of this application is substantially equivalent to the commercially available Biograph Horizon software. Modifications include:

  • . Corrections to software anomalies and addition of new software features, including:
    • Continuous Bed Motion O
    • o HD·Chest (including Stitched HD Chest)
    • Whole Body Gating O

All performance testing met the predetermined acceptance values.


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

The document states that "PET Testing in accordance with NEMA NU2:2012 was conducted on two different configurations of the Biograph Horizon systems, a 3 ring version and a 4 ring version (TrueV)." NEMA NU2:2012 is a standard for the performance measurements of PET scanners, typically utilizing phantoms rather than human or clinical data. Therefore, the "test set" in this context refers to measurements taken on the physical systems using standardized phantoms. The document does not specify a separate sample size (e.g., number of patients or data points) beyond testing the two system configurations. The data provenance is derived from these physical system tests, not from a specific country of origin or clinical retrospective/prospective study.


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

Given that the performance testing was conducted according to NEMA NU2:2012, which involves standardized measurements using phantoms, the concept of "experts" establishing ground truth in a clinical sense (e.g., radiologists reviewing images) is not applicable here. The "ground truth" for this type of testing is established by the known physical properties and radioactive concentrations within the phantoms used, as measured against the NEMA standard.


4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

As the performance testing against NEMA NU2:2012 involves direct physical measurements and calculations based on phantom acquisitions, there is no mention of a human adjudication method (like 2+1 or 3+1 consensus) in the document. The "Pass" results indicate that the measured values fell within the predefined acceptance ranges.


5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, If So, What Was the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs Without AI Assistance

The provided document describes performance testing of a PET/CT scanner against technical standards (NEMA NU2:2012). It does not mention any multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness studies, nor any AI assistance to human readers. Therefore, no effect size for human reader improvement with/without AI can be determined from this document.


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

The document details the performance characteristics of the PET/CT hardware system. It refers to software modifications but these are for anomaly corrections and new features (e.g., Continuous Bed Motion, HD·Chest), not for an "algorithm only" standalone performance evaluation in a diagnostic context. The core performance testing focuses on the system's physical capabilities as measured by NEMA NU2:2012.


7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used for the performance testing was based on physical phantom measurements in accordance with the NEMA NU2:2012 standard. This standard defines precise methodologies for measuring metrics like resolution, sensitivity, and image quality using phantoms with known characteristics.


8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not describe a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI. The testing performed is related to the physical performance of the PET/CT system hardware, not a data-driven model that would require a training set.


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

As no training set is mentioned in the context of the device's performance evaluation in this document, the method for establishing its "ground truth" is not applicable or described.
