The Siemens Biograph Vision PET/CT systems are combined X-Ray Computed Tomography (CT) and Position Emission Tomography (PET) scanners that provide registration and fusion of high resolution physiologic and anatomic information.
The CT component produces cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of X-Ray wansmission 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 approxiately trained health care professionals to aid in detecting. 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 * * As defined by professional medical societies. Please refer to clinical literature, including the results of the National Lune Screening Trial (N Engl J Med 2011; 365:395-409) and subsequent literature, for further information.
The Biograph Vision systems are combined multi-slice X-Ray Computed Tomography (CT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanners. These systems are designed for whole body oncology, neurology and cardiology examinations.
The Biograph Vision 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 Vision 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 Biograph Vision PET/CT, which is the subject of this application, is substantially equivalent to the commercially available Biograph Vision PET/CT (K180811). The key differences between the current Biograph Vision (predicate device) and the Biograph Vision PET/CT that is the subject of this application is the addition of two new models (Biograph Vision 450 and Biograph Vision 450 Edge) with a smaller axial PET Field of View, as well as additional software modifications to daily / weekly Quality Control that is applicable to all models of the Biograph Vision.
The provided text describes the acceptance criteria and performance of the Siemens Biograph Vision PET/CT system, which is a combined X-Ray Computed Tomography (CT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanner. This is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device; therefore, the "study" proving acceptance is primarily a technical performance evaluation against established industry standards and comparison to a predicate device, rather than a clinical trial with human subjects for AI assistance.
Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided document:

(a)
Identification. An emission computed tomography system is a device intended to detect the location and distribution of gamma ray- and positron-emitting radionuclides in the body and produce cross-sectional images through computer reconstruction of the data. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, radionuclide anatomical markers, component parts, and accessories.(b)
