Yes
The device description explicitly states that "Bones are segmented from mDixon in-phase and water images using machine learning based segmentation."
No.
The device is intended to provide information for radiation attenuation estimation in radiotherapy treatment planning, not to directly treat or diagnose a disease.
No
The device is intended to provide information on tissue properties for radiation attenuation estimation in radiotherapy treatment planning, not to diagnose a disease or condition.
No
The device is described as a "software add-on for Ingenia, Ingenia Ambition, and Ingenia Elition MR systems" and an "option to Ingenia MR-RT package, which is a set of accessories for Ingenia systems." This indicates it is integrated with and dependent on specific hardware systems (MR systems and accessories), rather than being a standalone software application.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The MRCAT Brain software processes MR images of the brain to generate CT-like density information (HU values) for use in radiotherapy treatment planning. It does not analyze biological samples from the patient.
- Intended Use: The intended use is specifically for "radiation attenuation estimation purposes in photon external beam radiotherapy treatment planning," which is a process performed on the patient's body, not on a sample taken from the body.
- Indications for Use: The indications for use are for "radiotherapy treatment planning for primary and metastatic brain tumor patients," again focusing on a treatment planning process, not a diagnostic test on a sample.
The device is a software tool that aids in the planning of a medical treatment (radiotherapy) by processing medical images. This falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostic devices.
No
The clearance letter does not explicitly state that the FDA has reviewed and approved or cleared a Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP) for this specific device.

Device Description
MRCAT brain is a software application to Ingenia, Ingenia Ambition, and Ingenia Elition MR systems. MRCAT brain is available to the customer as an option to Ingenia MR-RT package, which is a set of accessories for Ingenia systems.
Automated generation of MRCAT images takes place at the MR console of Ingenia. The embedded image post-processing runs in the background parallel to image acquisition. MRCAT algorithm enables automatic tissue characterization: Bones are segmented from mDixon in-phase and water images using machine learning based segmentation. Body outline is segmented using in-phase and water images. Tissues are then assigned a continuum of HU values depending on the fat and water intensities of the voxels. The HU assignment provides MRCAT images with CT-like density information.
Mentions image processing
Yes. "Automated generation of MRCAT images takes place at the MR console of Ingenia. The embedded image post-processing runs in the background parallel to image acquisition." and "The first step of MRCAT generation is to pre-process the images to ensure that the MRCAT source images have consistent intensities."
Mentions AI, DNN, or ML
Yes. "Bones are segmented from mDixon in-phase and water images using machine learning based segmentation." and "The intensity normalized images are then used as input in a convolutional neural network (CNN). The CNN is trained using matched pairs of CT and MRCAT source images."

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The robustness of the MRCAT brain algorithm for producing equivalent dose plans to CT using gamma analysis with criterion of 1%/1mm is shown by post-processing MRCAT images from patients, and calculating dose using the MRCAT images.
In summary, the MRCAT brain images are spatially accurate radiation attenuation estimates that can aid in the EBRT planning of primary and metastatic brain tumors.
Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)
Dose accuracy: The simulated dose based on MRCAT Brain images shall not differ in 95% of the indicated patients (gamma analysis criterion 2%/2mm realized in 98% of voxels within the PTV or exceeding 75% of the maximum dose) when compared with CT-based plan.
The average simulated dose based on MRCAT Brain shall not deviate more than 5% or 1 Gy, which ever is greater, in 99% of the indicated patients in the volume of sensitive organs when compared with CT based plan.
Geometric accuracy: MRCAT accuracy: ± 1 mm accuracy: 200 mm diameter sphere, ± 5 mm accuracy: 500 mm diameter sphere (limited in the bore direction by +/- 160 mm from the z=0 mm plane )

Indications for use: | |

Fundamental Scientific Technology: | MRCAT brain functionality is implemented as a software plug-in for the MR main software and it contains the following main features: |
1) Automatic post-processing tool delivering MRCAT images |
- Examcard with mDixon imaging protocol
- DICOM export of MRCAT image. |
| | MRCAT Image Generation |
| | MRCAT images are generated with an ExamCard post-processing step, which uses the images from the previous mDixon scan. |
| | The post-processing logic takes care of launching MRCAT algorithm executable calculating a new 3D MRCAT image. The post-processing is started once the acquired mDixon MR images have been reconstructed. The first step of MRCAT generation is to pre-process the images to ensure that the MRCAT source images have consistent intensities. The intensity normalized images are then used as input in a convolutional neural network (CNN). The CNN is trained using matched pairs of CT and MRCAT source images. The training of the CNN is locked and is not adapted during use. The output of the CNN is post-processed to create images in CT values. The generated MRCAT images are checked for correctness to ensure validity of the generated MRCAT for radiation treatment. The sanity checks ensure that the imaging field of view has been positioned correctly and that the MRCAT body outline matches that of the MR. The HU values for the |

MRCAT brain are calibrated using registered CT images. Once the process is running, post-processing logic exchanges information with the algorithm:
- Image source data to algorithm, and image output data back to . the post-processing step
- Progress notifications ●
- Error and warning notifications ●
The 3D MRCAT image from the post-processing step is stored into the MR image database.

| Summary of
Clinical Data: | The robustness of the MRCAT brain algorithm for producing
equivalent dose plans to CT using gamma analysis with criterion of
1%/1mm is shown by post-processing MRCAT images from patients,
and calculating dose using the MRCAT images. |
|-------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| | In summary, the MRCAT brain images are spatially accurate radiation
attenuation estimates that can aid in the EBRT planning of primary and
metastatic brain tumors. |
| Substantial
Equivalence
Conclusion: | The MRCAT brain is substantially equivalent to the primary currently
marketed and predicate device (K182888, April 30, 2019) in terms of
design features, fundamental scientific technology, indications for use,
and safety and effectiveness. Additionally, substantial equivalence was |

demonstrated with non-clinical performance (verification and validation) tests, which complied with the requirements specified in the international and FDA-recognized consensus standards, IEC 62304, IEC 62366-1 and ISO 14971. The results of these tests demonstrate that MRCAT brain met the acceptance criteria and is adequate for this intended use.
