The description focuses on image post-processing, quantification of MR parameters, and user-defined or semi-automatic segmentation techniques. There is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, or any related concepts in the provided text.
No.
The device is a software program for post-processing MR images to assist in diagnosis, not to provide therapy.
Yes
The text explicitly states: "iNtuition- T1 Mapping and T2/T2* Mapping qualitation can be used in a clinical setting on MR images of an individual patient and can be used to support the clinical decision making for the patient. iNtuition- T1 Mapping and T2/T2* Mapping are designed for use by healthcare professionals and are intended to assist the physician in diagnosis, who is responsible for making all final patient management decisions." This indicates its role in the diagnostic process.
Yes
The device description explicitly states that "iNtuition-T1 Mapping and T2/T2* Mapping is an optional image post-processing module, part of iNtuition (K121916), which is software only device generally used with the off-the-shelf hardware".
Based on the provided text, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: An IVD is a medical device used to perform tests on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue to detect diseases or other conditions. These tests are performed outside of the body (in vitro).
- Device Function: The iNtuition-T1 Mapping and T2/T2* Mapping software processes MR DICOM images which are generated from imaging performed on the patient's body (in vivo). It derives quantitative values from these images to characterize tissues and assist in clinical decision-making.
- Lack of Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze biological samples. Its input is medical imaging data.
Therefore, while it is a medical device used in a clinical setting to aid in diagnosis, its function falls under the category of medical image processing and analysis, not in vitro diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
iNtuition-T1 Mapping and T2/T2* Mapping are software modules that support the derivation and quantification of T1, T2 and T2* values from MR DICOM image pixel intensities and header information. The quantification of these parameters can be used to characterize tissues. Support is provided to overlay the T1, T2, and T2* values using colormaps on related MR images.
Support is provided for using different colormaps to overlay different ranges of T1, T2 or T2* values and restrict the overlay to region of interest on the images can be of simple planar scan like a single slice or volumetric or 4D scans of a body part. iNtuition-T1 Mapping and T2/T2* Mapping are iNtuition software features that can be used in multiple workflows or be used as basic tools for cardiac functionality, the overlaid images can be captured and forwarded to other systems using standards such as DICOM or http protocol. Quantitative analysis is derived and available as text and graphical display.

Device Description
iNtuition-T1 Mapping and T2/T2* Mapping is an optional image post-processing module, part of iNtuition (K121916), which is software only device generally used with the off-the-shelf hardware, offered in various configuration, with the simplest configuration being a stand-alone workstation capable of image review, communications, archiving, database maintenance, remote review, reporting and basic 3D capabilities. It can also be configured as a server with some, all, or none of its optional features disabled. Whether provided as a workstation or a server, the iNtuition software is designed to provide access by a local user physically sitting at the computer hosting the iNtuition server software, and/or by one or more remote users who concurrently connect to the server using a freely-downloadable thin client application or through a zero-footprint web viewer (with conference capabilities) over local network or internet.
iNtuition-T1 Mapping and T2/T2* Mapping feature can derive quantitative values from intensities and header information of specific MR scan sequences that are specifically coded to enable such derivation (such as Look-Locker and MOLLI for T1.) The quantification of these parameters can be used to derive clinical value such as T2*.. Post-processing such as computation of statistics like volume, area, min/max or various combinations of the derived values, over regions of interests or overlay the derived values using a colormap on related images or a region of the images. The region of interests can be defined by the user through manual, semi-automatic or automatic segmentation techniques provided by iNtuition. The derivation and post-processing can be used with planar, volumetric or 4D scan sequences for cardiac functionality.
iNtuition-T1 Mapping and T2/T2* Mapping is an iNtuition based optional features, and employ all standard features offered by iNtuition such as convenient image manipulation tools like drawing region of interest, manual or automatic segmentation of structures and tools that support creation of a report, transmitting and storing this report in digital form, and tracking historical information about the studies analyzed by the software.
This device is intended only to assists the operator in making decisions. The software is not intended to replace the skill and judgment of a qualified medical practitioner and should only be used by people that have been trained in the software's function (iNtuition), capabilities and limitations. The device is intended to provide supporting analytical tools to a physician, to speed decision-making and to improve communication, but the physician's judgment is paramount and it is normal practice for physicians to validate theories and treatment decisions multiple ways before proceeding with a risky course of patient management.
iNtuition-T1 Mapping and T2/T2* Mapping modules may be sold separately or as an extension of iNtuition.
