The summary mentions "automated liver segmentation and region of interest (ROI) placements," which could potentially utilize AI/ML, but the description does not explicitly state that AI/ML is used for this or any other function. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section is also marked as "Not Found".
No.
The device is a software application for noninvasive liver evaluation that assists in diagnosis by processing and displaying MR image data, not for treating or rehabilitating patients.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the device yields information that may assist in diagnosis when interpreted by a trained clinician.
Yes
The device description explicitly states that LiverMultiScan (LMSv3) is a "standalone software application" that runs on "general-purpose workstations." It processes existing MR image data and does not include or require any specific hardware components beyond the standard computer setup.
Based on the provided information, LiverMultiScan (LMSv3) is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs analyze samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue). LiverMultiScan analyzes medical image data acquired from an MRI scanner, which is a non-invasive imaging technique.
- The intended use is for noninvasive liver evaluation using magnetic resonance imaging. This is clearly stated in the "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section.
- The device description focuses on software processing of image data. It describes reading DICOM data, generating parametric maps from MRI data, and quantifying metrics from these images.
- There is no mention of analyzing biological samples.
Therefore, LiverMultiScan (LMSv3) falls under the category of a medical image processing software or a radiology device software, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
LiverMultiScan (LMSv3) is indicated for use as a magnetic device software application for noninvasive liver evaluation that enables the generation, display and review of 2D magnetic resonance medical image data and pixel maps for MR relaxation times.
LiverMultiScan (LMSv3) is designed to utilize DICOM 3.0 compliant magnetic resonance image datasets, acquired from compatible MR Systems, to display the internal structure of the abdomen including the liver. Other physical parameters derived from the images may also be produced.
LiverMultiScan (LMSv3) provides a number of tools, such as automated liver segmentation and region of interest (ROI) placements, to be used for the assessment of selected regions of an image. Quantitative assessment of selected regions include the determination of triglyceride fat fraction in the liver (PDFF), T2* and iron-corrected T1 (cT1) measurements. PDFF may optionally be computed using the LMS IDEAL or three-point Dixon methodology.
These images and the physical parameters derived from the images, when interpreted by a trained clinician, yield information that may assist in diagnosis.

Device Description
LiverMultiScan (LMSv3) is a standalone software application for displaying 2D Magnetic Resonance (MR) medical image data acquired from compatible MR Scanners. LiverMultiScan runs on general-purpose workstations with a colour monitor, keyboard and mouse.
The main functionality of LiverMultiScan (LMSv3) includes:
- Reading DICOM 3.0 compliant datasets stored on workstations, and display of the data acquisition information
- Post-processing of MRI data to generate parametric maps of Proton Density Fat Fraction (PDFF), T2*, T1 and iron-corrected T1 (cT1) of the liver.
- Quantification, and calculation of PDFF, T2* and cT1 metrics using tools such as automatic liver segmentation and ROI (region of interest) placement.
- Generation of a summary report demonstrating the quantitative assessment results of fat fraction in the liver (PDFF), T2* and iron-corrected T1 (cT1).
LiverMultiScan (LMSv3) is intended to be used by trained operators. Reports generated by trained operators are intended for use by interpreting clinicians, including, but not limited to, radiologists, gastroenterologists, and hepatologists.
LiverMultiScan (LMSv3) is intended to be used as an aid to diagnosis. The results demonstrated by LMSv3 shall only be used as an additional input to existing procedures and diagnostic workflows. The responsibility for diagnosis and treatment decisions remains with the clinicians.
LiverMultiScan (LMSv3) is a post-processing, standalone software device which has no direct contact with the human body.

6. Performance Testing
General
LMSv3 underwent full performance testing under controlled conditions to corroborate that it is safe and effective to use. The performance testing conducted demonstrates that LMSv3 is at least as safe and effective as the predicate device and does not introduce any new risks.
6.1. Performance Testing – Bench
Phantom Testing
The phantom performance testing was conducted to verify the accuracy, repeatability of the device measurements on the phantoms which were designed to mimic the human data but provide a wider range.
The results of worst-case scenarios are summarized in the tables below, demonstrating:
- The MOLLI-based T1 measurement produced by LMSv3 is consistent with the literature-reported . underestimation of ground truth T1 using MOLLI techniques [3][4].
- LMSv3 measurements of T2* and IDEAL PDFF are accurate over the expected physiological range of values. .
- LMSv3 measurements of DIXON PDFF are relatively accurate over the expected physiological range of values. • There are only minor deviations due to the known fat bias associated with the DIXON method.
