This suggests an evaluation was performed to categorize segmentation quality, but the specific percentage or number of "very good" classifications is not provided as a direct performance metric.
Acceptance Criteria (Auto Segmentation - NLST Data)Reported Device Performance
Dice similarity coefficient between auto-segmentation and manual segmentation (performed by radiolographer and confirmed by radiologist)."The dice similarity coefficient is performed to check how similar they are." The specific threshold or result of the DSC is not provided.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Semi-automatic Nodule Segmentation:

    • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as a number of nodules or patients. Spheres of various radii (2mm, 3mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm) were created for testing.
    • Data Provenance: Artificially generated spheres.
  • Nodule Matching test with Lung Registration:

    • Sample Size: "28 locations" (referring to nodule locations for DVF calculation).
    • Data Provenance: "deployed" experimental data, likely retrospective CT scans. Specific country of origin not mentioned but given the company's origin (Republic of Korea), it could involve Korean data.
  • Mevis CAD Integration test:

    • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated. The test confirms data transfer and display.
    • Data Provenance: Not specified, likely internal test data.
  • Brock Score (aka. PANCAN) Risk Calculation test:

    • Sample Size:
      • Former paper: "PanCan data set, 187 persons had 7008 nodules, of which 102 were malignant," and "BCCA data set, 1090 persons had 5021 nodules, of which 42 were malignant."
      • Latter paper: "4431 nodules (4315 benign nodules and 116 malignant nodules of NLST data)."

  • Auto segmentation (based on deep-learning algorithms) test:

    • Korean Data: "192 suspected COPD patients." (Retrospective, implicitly from Korea given the source "Korean Society of Thoracic Radiology").
    • NLST Data: "80 patient's Chest CT data who were enrolled in NLST." (Retrospective, from the National Lung Screening Trial).

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

  • Auto segmentation (based on deep-learning algorithms) test - Korean Data:

    • Number of Experts: Not explicitly stated, but "a specialist and radiologist" suggests at least two experts.
    • Qualifications: "specialist and radiologist." No specific years of experience or sub-specialty mentioned.
  • Auto segmentation (based on deep-learning algorithms) test - NLST Data:

    • Number of Experts: At least two. "experienced radiolographer and confirmed by experienced radiologist."

  • Lung RADS Calculation test: Ground truth implicitly established by the "Lung-RADS survey table provided by the Korean Society of Thoracic Radiology." The experts who created this survey table are not detailed here.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not explicitly describe a formal adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) for establishing ground truth for any of the tests.

  • For the Auto segmentation (based on deep-learning algorithms) test, the "Korean Data" section mentions results are "identified by a specialist and radiologist and classified." This suggests independent review or consensus, but no specific adjudication rule is given. For the "NLST Data" section, manual segmentation was "performed by experienced radiolographer and confirmed by experienced radiologist," indicating a two-step process of creation and verification, rather than a conflict resolution method.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

No Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study comparing human readers with AI assistance versus without AI assistance was mentioned or conducted in this document. The device is for "review and analysis" and "reporting," and integrates with a third-party CAD, but its direct impact on human reader performance through an MRMC study is not detailed.

6. Standalone Performance Study (Algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance)

Yes, standalone performance studies were conducted for several functionalities, focusing on the algorithm's performance without direct human-in-the-loop tasks:

  • Semi-automatic Nodule Segmentation: The test on artificial spheres evaluates the algorithm's measurement accuracy directly.
  • Nodule Matching test with Lung Registration: Evaluates the algorithm's ability to calculate DVF and match nodules.
  • Brock Score (aka. PANCAN) Risk Calculation test: Unit tests comparing calculated values from the algorithm against an Excel sheet.
  • VDT Calculation test: Unit tests to confirm calculation.
  • Lung RADS Calculation test: Unit tests to confirm implementation accuracy against regulations.

  • Semi-automatic Nodule Segmentation: Known physical properties of artificially generated spheres (e.g., precise radius and volume).
  • Nodule Matching test with Lung Registration: Nodule positions marked on "Fixed image" and "Moving image," implying expert identification on real CT scans.
  • Brock Score (aka. PANCAN) Risk Calculation test: Reference values from published literature (PanCan, BCCA, NLST data) which themselves are derived from ground truth of malignancy (pathology, clinical follow-up).
  • VDT Calculation test: Established mathematical formulas for VDT.
  • Lung RADS Calculation test: Lung-RADS regulations and a "Lung-RADS survey table provided by the Korean Society of Thoracic Radiology."
  • Auto segmentation (based on deep-learning algorithms) test - Korean Data: Expert classification ("0 (Not good), 1 (need adjustment), and 2(very good)") by a specialist and radiologist.
  • Auto segmentation (based on deep-learning algorithms) test - NLST Data: Manual segmentation performed by an experienced radiolographer and confirmed by an experienced radiologist.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not explicitly state the sample size used for the training set(s) for the deep-learning algorithms or other components of the AVIEW LCS. It only details the test sets.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Since the training set size is not provided, the method for establishing its ground truth is also not detailed in this document. However, given the nature of the evaluation for the test set (expert marking, classification), it is highly probable that similar methods involving expert radiologists or specialists would have been used to establish ground truth for any training data.

    Experiments to check the accuracy of Nodule-Matching using Lung Registration Result in LungScreen Followup Study and to check the applicability of Registry

Based on the experimented data deployed, the steps below are performed for all 28 location.

    1. Enter the Nodule position of the Fixed image
    1. Convert to the position of the moving image using DVF
  • Measure the Voxel Distance error between the converted position and the Nodule position of the 3. Moving image.
    1. Start-up verification of the cross-sectional images of the position and the converted position in the Fixed, Moving images.

Validation on DVF Size Optimization with Sub-sampling test To reduce the capacity of DVF calculated after LungRegistration, check the accuracy level of loss

when using DVF subsampling and check the possibility

For each Lung Part, three (Rigid, NonRigid, and LevelSet) DVF files are calculated for each Left and Right Lung. Because each DVF has about 600MB of files size, you will use 3.6GB (23600MB) per case. Therefore, accuracy needs to be explored how to optimize the size of the DVF at the expense of the loss.

Based on the experimental data deployed, the steps below ae performed for all 28 locations.

    1. Enter the Nodule position of the Fixed image.
    1. Use DisplacementVector placed on above position and replace with the Moving image.
    1. Convert to the position of the moving image using the Mean DisplacementVector in the 3x3x3 area around that location
    1. Measure the Voxel Distance error between each converted position and the Nodule position of the Moving image.
    1. Measure the error of each converted position
  • Semi-automatic Nodule Segmentation

In order to check the accuracy of the measured length and volume value in the node added by Segmentation.

Create a sphere with a radius of 2mm, 3mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm. Providing test function to read measurement of split decision using the node segmentation function. Standard judgment:

The measured length should be less than one voxel size compared to the size of the sphere produced. The measured volume should be within 10 error compared to the volume of the sphere created.

CONCLUSIONS 9

The new device and predicate device are substantially equivalent in the areas of technical characteristics, general functions, application, and intended use. The new device does not introduce a fundamentally new scientific technology, and the nonclinical tests demonstrate that the device is safe and effective. Therefore, it is our opinion that the AVIEW LCS described in this substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
