Vantage Galan 3T systems are indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging modality that produces cross-sectional transaxial, coronal, sagittal, and oblique images that display anatomic structures of the head or body. Additionally, this system is capable of non-contrast enhanced imaging, such as MRA.
MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) images correspond to the spatial distribution of protons (hydrogen nuclei) that exhibit nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The NMR properties of body tissues and fluids are:
·Proton density (PD) (also called hydrogen density)
•Spin-lattice relaxation time (T1)
·Spin-spin relaxation time (T2)
·Flow dynamics
•Chemical Shift
Depending on the region of interest, contrast agents may be used. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images yield information that can be useful in diagnosis.
The Vantage Galan (Model MRT-3020/A7) is a 3 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) System, previously cleared under K173382. This system is based upon the technology and materials of previously marketed Canon Medical Systems and is intended to acquire and display cross-sectional transaxial, coronal, sagittal, and oblique images of anatomic structures of the head or body.
Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and supporting study for the Vantage Galan 3T, MRT-3020/A7, V5.0 MRI system.
It's important to note that this document is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It does not present a detailed clinical study with specific acceptance criteria and outcome metrics for diagnostic performance in the way a novel AI-driven diagnostic device might. Instead, it focuses on safety and imaging performance parameters (e.g., field strength, SAR, dB/dt) and software functionalities.
The document states: "No change from the previous predicate submission, K173382." regarding imaging performance parameters. This implies that the device's fundamental imaging quality and diagnostic capability are considered equivalent to the predicate, and therefore, no new studies specifically on diagnostic accuracy for new software features are presented in this summary. The "acceptance criteria" discussed below are thus primarily related to safety, operational limits, and maintaining imaging capabilities.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Criteria (from IEC/NEMA standards & predicate equivalence) | Reported Device Performance (as stated in the document) |
|---|---|---|
| Static Field Strength | 3T | 3T (Same as predicate) |
| Operational Modes | Normal and 1st Operating Mode (IEC 60601-2-33) | Normal and 1st Operating Mode (Same as predicate) |
| Safety Parameter Display | SAR, dB/dt | SAR, dB/dt (Same as predicate) |
| Operating Mode Access | Allows screen access to 1st level operating mode | Allows screen access to 1st level operating mode (Same as predicate) |
| Maximum SAR | 4W/kg for whole body (1st operating mode specified in IEC 60601-2-33: 2010 +A1:2013) | 4W/kg for whole body (Same as predicate) |
| Maximum dB/dt | 1st operating mode specified in IEC 60601-2-33: 2010 +A1:2013 | 1st operating mode specified in IEC 60601-2-33: 2010 +A1:2013 (Same as predicate) |
| Emergency Shutdown | Shutdown by Emergency Ramp Down Unit for collision hazard for ferromagnetic objects | Shutdown by Emergency Ramp Down Unit for collision hazard for ferromagnetic objects (Same as predicate) |
| Imaging Performance | No degradation from predicate (Vantage Galan 3T, MRT-3020, V4.6) | "No change from the previous predicate submission, K173382." |
| Software Functionality | New functionalities (e.g., KneeLine+, surevol Knee, k-t SPEEDER, R-wave Monitoring, SpineLine+, WFS DIXON, Quick Star, Fast 3D Mode, 2D-RMC for EPI) operate as intended without compromising safety or overall device performance. | Software validation and application of risk management and design controls shown to ensure safety and effectiveness. "Bench testing, phantom imaging, volunteer clinical imaging" were employed. |
| Indications for Use | Maintain previously cleared indications for use | No changes to the previously cleared indication. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not specify a distinct "test set" in the context of a clinical trial for diagnostic performance. The evaluation is primarily focused on engineering and safety verification, implying performance on various physical and phantom tests, alongside some human volunteer imaging.
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated. The document mentions "volunteer clinical imaging" but does not quantify the number of volunteers or cases used for demonstrating the performance of the new software features. It is likely that these were smaller-scale internal evaluations.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but the manufacturing site is Canon Medical Systems Corporation, Japan (1385 Shimoishigami Otawara-Shi, Tochigi-ken, Japan 324-8550). The "volunteer clinical imaging" would likely have occurred within a research setting affiliated with the manufacturer or a collaborating institution. The data would be considered prospective for the purposes of these internal evaluations.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This information is not provided in the 510(k) summary. The evaluation focuses on technical performance and safety, rather than providing a detailed diagnostic accuracy study requiring a traditional "ground truth" derived from expert reads. For the "volunteer clinical imaging" and phantom studies, the "ground truth" would be established by technical specifications, established imaging principles, and potentially expert review of image quality by radiologists or MR physicists within the development team, but this is not explicitly documented.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This information is not provided. Given the nature of a 510(k) summary for a software update to an MRI system, a formal adjudication process involving multiple readers for diagnostic consensus is not a typical requirement unless there are specific claims about diagnostic accuracy changes which are not made here.
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
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done as described in this document. The device is a Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Device (MRDD) for acquiring and displaying images. While it includes "AI-like" features (e.g., KneeLine+, SpineLine+ for automated plane detection or k-t SPEEDER for image acceleration), these are enhancements to image acquisition and processing, not a traditional "AI" intended for diagnostic interpretation that would involve comparative reader studies against human readers. There are no claims of diagnostic improvement for human readers using this updated software.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
No, a standalone algorithm performance study as typically understood for an AI diagnostic device was not done or reported. The software features are integrated into the MRI system to improve scan workflow, image quality, and efficiency, not to provide standalone diagnostic interpretations.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
The document does not explicitly state the type of "ground truth" used for clinical evaluation of the software enhancements. However, based on the context of a 510(k) for an MRI system software update, the "ground truth" for evaluating the performance of features like KneeLine+, SpineLine+, or k-t SPEEDER would likely involve:
- Technical Specifications / Phantoms: For assessing parameters such as image resolution, signal-to-noise ratio, artifact reduction, and acquisition speed.
- Established Anatomical Knowledge / Expert Review of Image Quality: For features like KneeLine+ and SpineLine+, the "ground truth" for auto-detection accuracy would be based on expertly determined anatomical landmarks and planes within the acquired images, reviewed by experienced MR technologists or radiologists for accuracy and consistency against manual methods.
- Physiological Measurements: For R-wave monitoring, the ground truth would be from a concurrently acquired ECG signal.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This information is not provided. The document describes software updates and enhanced sequences. While these might employ machine learning algorithms for features like anatomical detection (KneeLine+, SpineLine+), the specific data used for training these algorithms and their sample sizes are not detailed in this 510(k) summary. Given the focus on substantial equivalence, this level of detail is typically not required unless the core diagnostic function is driven by novel AI-learning.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This information is not provided. Similar to the training set sample size, the specifics of how ground truth might have been established for any potential machine learning components within the new software features are not disclosed in this regulatory submission.

17. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Vantage Galan (Model MRT-3020/A7) is a 3 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) System, previously cleared under K173382. This system is based upon the technology and materials of previously marketed Canon Medical Systems and is intended to acquire and display cross-sectional transaxial, coronal, sagittal, and oblique images of anatomic structures of the head or body.
18. SUMMARY OF CHANGE(S)
This submission is to report the following software functionalities have been added:
- Software change from V4.6 to V5.0 ●
- Limited Scan Mode: Operator can set SAR operating mode and upper limit of B1+rms. Scan parameters are calculated so that SAR and B1+rms do not exceed set limits.
- KneeLine+: When the basic planes of the knee are to be scanned, this application makes it possible to set the slice plane more easily than before. After a 3D image is acquired, it is used to obtain the three planes (sagittal, axial and coronal) after adjusting the angle of the knee. The obtained images can be used to set the positioning ROI. If necessary, the orientation and position of the detected basic planes can be adjusted by scan positioning operation in the Scan Plan (Locator) window.
- surevol Knee: Using a 3D image as an input, the region of the knee is determined and the ● VOI for shimming scan, map scan, or presaturation is detected. The detected VOI can be used for knee scan positioning. If necessary, the VOI can be checked and the orientation and position of the VOI can be adjusted in the Scan Plan (Locator) window.
- k-t SPEEDER: Estimated sensitivity data is calculated using the sensitivity data for each coil obtained during scanning, and the folded image obtained by skipped image acquisition is unfolded. A speedup factor of 2 to 8 can be achieved depending on the skipping ratio.
- R-wave Monitoring: The range of the R-R intervals for data acquisition can be determined. If the R-R intervals at the time of data acquisition is out of range, data acquisition is performed again.
- SpineLine+: New spinal plane detection algorithm improves detection rate for patients.
- Sequence Enhancements:
- o WFS DIXON (Water Fat Separation): WFS option previously applicable to FE3D sequences is added to FSE2D sequences.
- o Quick Star: Data acquisition is started from the center of the k-space in a radial pattern in the in-plane direction in the k-space and in a Cartesian pattern in the slice direction. Because the data near the center of the k-space is acquired repeatedly, data acquisition with Quick Star is relatively unaffected by motion.
- oFast 3D Mode: Fast 3D mode can be used to increase imaging efficiency. Two types of Fast 3D mode (Multiple and Wheel) are available. Multiple is technique for acquiring two parallel SE lines continuously in a single shot. Wheel is technique for

acquiring signals at the center of the k-space in a deformed wheel pattern in the PE-SE plane.
- o 2D-RMC (Real-time Motion Correction) for EPI: 2D Real-time Motion Correction is available for Diffusion Weighted Imaging to mitigate respiratory motion artifacts of abdominal examination. 2D-RMC option previously applicable to FASE3D and FFE3D sequences is added to EPI sequences.
