Intended Use
Vantage Orian 1.5T 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.
Device Description
The Vantage Orian (Model MRT-1550) is a 1.5 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) System. The Vantage Orian uses 1.4 m short and 3.8 tons light weight magnet. It includes the Pianissimo™ technology (scan noise reduction technology). The design of the gradient coil and the WB coil of the Vantage Orian 1.5T provides the maximum field of view of 55 x 50 cm. The Model MRT-1550/AC, AD, AG, AH includes the standard gradient system and Model MRT-1550/AK, AL, AO, AP includes the XGO gradient system. AiCE is an optional noise reduction algorithm that improves image quality and reduces thermal noise by employing Deep Convolutional Neural Network methods. AiCE is designed to remove Gaussian distributed noise in MR images for reducing contributions of thermal noise. In order to train a DCNN that can learn a model that represents thermal noise, the training datasets are created by adding Gaussian noise of different amplitudes to high-SNR images acquired with large number of averages. The device is targeted for Brain and knee regions. This software and its associated hardware are used on Canon MRI systems that are designed to communicate with the AiCE Reconstruction Processing Unit for MR. This system is based upon the technology and materials of previously marketed Canon Medical Systems MRI systems and is intended to acquire and display cross-sectional transaxial, coronal, sagittal, and oblique images of anatomic structures of the head or body. The Vantage Orian 1.5T, MRT-1550, V6.0 with AiCE Reconstruction Processing Unit for MR is comparable to the current 1.5T Vantage Orian MRI System (K193021), cleared June 3rd, 2020 with the following modifications.
More Information

Yes
The device description explicitly mentions "AiCE is an optional noise reduction algorithm that improves image quality and reduces thermal noise by employing Deep Convolutional Neural Network methods." and describes the training of a DCNN.

No.
This device is described as a diagnostic imaging modality used to produce images of anatomic structures, and the output is used for diagnosis, not for therapy or treatment.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that "Vantage Orian 1.5T systems are indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging modality". It also mentions that "these images yield information that can be useful in diagnosis."

No

The device description explicitly states that the Vantage Orian is a 1.5 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) System, which is a hardware device. While it includes software components like the AiCE algorithm, it is not solely software.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
  • Device Function: The Vantage Orian 1.5T system is an MRI system. It produces images of the internal structures of the body using magnetic fields and radio waves. It does not analyze specimens taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a "diagnostic imaging modality that produces cross-sectional transaxial, coronal, sagittal, and oblique images that display anatomic structures of the head or body." This is consistent with an imaging device, not an IVD.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components of an MRI machine (magnet, gradient coil, etc.) and software for image processing. It does not mention any components for handling or analyzing biological specimens.

The device is a diagnostic imaging system, which is a different category of medical device than an In Vitro Diagnostic.

No
The provided text does not contain any explicit statement that the FDA has reviewed, approved, or cleared a PCCP for this specific device. It states "Not Found" for "Control Plan Authorized (PCCP) and relevant text".

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

AiCE deep learning reconstruction underwent performance (bench testing) using a model observer study to determine that image low contrast detectability was maintained or improved. Additionally, a human observer study was conducted with 6 board certified radiologists and 160 image data sets that demonstrated a statistical preference of AiCE when compared to other performance filters. The results of the testing demonstrated that AiCE performed either at the same level or above the performance of the commercially available predicate device.

In order to quantify the increase in SNR with AiCE over standard protocols, SNR measurements of sample clinical brain and knee images were obtained. Additionally, contrast was measured using the absolute signal intensity differences between two tissues. The resting demonstrated that AiCE both increased SNR and maintained contrast.

21. INDICATIONS FOR USE

Vantage Orian 1.5T systems are indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging modality that produces crosssectional transaxial, coronal, sagittal, and obligue 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.

22. SUMMARY OF DESIGN CONTROL ACTIVITIES

Risk Management activities for new software functionalities are included in this submission. The test methods used are the same as those submitted in the previously cleared submission of the predicate device, Vantage Orian 1.5T, MRT-1550, V6.0 (K193021).

24. TESTING

AiCE deep learning reconstruction underwent performance (bench testing) using a model observer study to determine that image low contrast detectability was maintained or improved. Additionally, a human observer study was conducted with 6 board certified radiologists and 160 image data sets that demonstrated a statistical preference of AiCE when compared to other performance filters. The results of the testing demonstrated that AiCE performed either at the same level or above the performance of the commercially available predicate device.

In order to quantify the increase in SNR with AiCE over standard protocols, SNR measurements of sample clinical brain and knee images were obtained. Additionally, contrast was measured using the absolute signal intensity differences between two tissues. The resting demonstrated that AiCE both increased SNR and maintained contrast.

25. SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

Canon Medical Systems Corporation believes that the Vantage Orian 1.5T, MRT-1550, V6.0, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) System with AiCE Reconstruction Processing Unit for MR is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared predicate device, Vantage Orian 1.5T, MRT-1550, V6.0, referenced in this submission. Canon Medical Systems Corporation believes that the changes incorporated into the Vantage Orian 1.5T, MRT-1550, V6.0 with AiCE Reconstruction Processing Unit for MR are substantially equivalent to the previously cleared predicate device.

26. CONCLUSION

The modifications incorporated into the Vantage Orian 1.5T, MRT-1550, V6.0 with AiCE Reconstruction Processing Unit for MR do not change the indications for use or the intended use of the device. Based upon bench testing, phantom imaging, volunteer clinical imaging, successful completion of software validation and application of risk management and design controls, it is concluded that the subject device is safe and effective for its intended use.
