iSchemaView's RAPID is an image processing software package to be used by trained professionals, including but not limited to physicians and medical technicians.
The software runs on a standard off-the-shelf computer or a virtual platform, such as VMware, and can be used to perform image viewing, processing and analysis of images. Data and images are acquired through DICOM compliant imaging devices.
The iSchemaView RAPID provides both viewing and analysis capabilities for functional and dynamic imaging datasets acquired with CT Perfusion (CT-P), CT Angiography (CTA), and MRI including a Diffusion Weighted MRI (DWI) Module and a Dynamic Analysis Module (dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging data for MRI and CT).
The DWI Module is used to visualize local water diffusion properties from the analysis of diffusion - weighted MRI data.
The Dynamic Analysis Module is used for visualization and analysis of dynamic imaging data, showing properties of changes in contrast over time. This functionality includes calculation of parameters related to tissue flow (perfusion) and tissue blood volume.
RAPID is a software package that provides for the visualization and study of changes in tissue using digital images captured by diagnostic imaging systems including CT (Computed Tomography) and MRI (Magnetic Image Resonance), as an aid to physician diagnosis.
RAPID can be installed on a customer's Server or it can be accessed online as virtual system. It provides viewing, quantification, analysis and reporting capabilities.
RAPID works with the following types of (DICOM compliant) medical image data:
- CT (Computed Tomography) ●
- . MRI (Magnetic Image Resonance)
RAPID acquires (DICOM compliant) medical image data from the following sources:
- DICOM file
- DICOM CD-R ●
- Network using DICOM protocol
RAPID provides tools for performing the following types of analysis:
- volumetry of threshold maps
- time intensity plots for dynamic time courses ●
- measurement of mismatch between labeled volumes on co-registered image volumes
- . large vessel density
RAPID is a software-only device consisting of one or more RAPID Servers (dedicated or virtual and an iSchemaView Server). The RAPID Server is an image processing engine that connects to a hospital LAN, inside the Hospital Firewall. It can be a dedicated RAPID Server or a VM RAPID appliance, which is a virtualized RAPID Server that runs on a dedicated hospital server. Where available, the RAPID Server is placed logically in the demilitarized zone (DMZ) of the hospital's network to facilitate bidirectional secure connection between the (local) RAPID Server and the centralized iSchemaView Server.
RAPID is a software-only device designed to streamline medical image processing tasks that are time consuming and fatiguing in routine patient workup. RAPID is typically installed on a server running within a hospital's network and operates with minimal user interaction. Once the CT or MR data are acquired, the CT or MRI console operator selects RAPID as the target for the DICOM images, and then the operator selects which study/series data to be sent to RAPID. Based on the type of incoming DICOM data, RAPID will identify the data set as CT or MRI data, and determine the suitable processing module. RAPID is a toolbox of modules which support various analysis methods used in clinical practice today:
- RAPID CTA: used to visualize large cerebral vessels and analyze hemispheric difference . via contralateral comparison.
- . RAPID MR DWI Module: used to visualize local water diffusion properties of tissue from the analysis of diffusion-weighted MRI data.
- RAPID Dynamic Analysis Module: used for visualization and analysis of dynamic ● imaging data, showing properties of changes in contrast over time. This functionality includes calculation of parameters related to tissue flow (perfusion) and tissue blood volume.
The iSchemaView Server is a dedicated server that provides a central repository for RAPID data. All iSchemaView Server data is stored on encrypted hard disks. It also provides a user interface for accessing RAPID data. It connects to a firewalled Data Center Network and has its own firewall for additional cyber/data security. The iSchemaView Server connects to one or more RAPID Servers via WAN. Available types of connection include VPN (Virtual Private Network - RFC2401 and RFC4301 Standards) Tunnel and SSH (Secure Shell).

Detailed Information on the Study:
-
Sample Size used for the test set and the data provenance:
The document does not specify the sample size for the test set or the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective nature of the data). It only broadly states "extensive performance validation testing." -
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
The document does not specify the number of experts or their qualifications used to establish ground truth for testing. -
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
The document does not specify any adjudication method for establishing ground truth or evaluating the test set. -
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 document does not mention a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study, nor does it quantify any effect size of human improvement with AI assistance. The focus is on the software's standalone performance and its comparison to its own predicate device. -
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:
Yes, a standalone performance evaluation was conducted. The document states:- "This performance validation testing demonstrated that the RAPID system provides accurate representation of key processing parameters under a range of clinically relevant parameters and perturbations associated with the intended use of the software."
- "Performance, validation and verification testing demonstrated that the RAPID system met all design requirements and specifications."
- "The RAPID System performance has been validated through the use of phantoms."
These statements indicate testing of the algorithm itself.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
For the "performance validation testing," the document explicitly mentions that "The RAPID System performance has been validated through the use of phantoms." This indicates that, at least in part, the ground truth was established through known physical or digital models with predefined characteristics. It's also implied that the system's output was compared against "key processing parameters" which likely have established normal or pathological ranges, potentially derived from expert knowledge or clinical standards, though this is not explicitly detailed. -
The sample size for the training set:
The document does not specify the sample size for the training set. This information is typically not included in a 510(k) summary focused on substantial equivalence. -
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
The document does not specify how the ground truth for the training set (if any distinct training set was used separate from the predicate's development) was established. Given the context of a 510(k) for an updated version of an already cleared device, much of the development would likely build upon the established datasets and methodologies from the predicate.

The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.(b)
