Yes
The document explicitly mentions the use of a "deep learning Liver Segmentation algorithm" and describes the training and testing of this algorithm.
No
The device is a software package that aids physicians in evaluating hepatic arterial anatomy for planning embolization procedures; it does not directly treat or diagnose a disease.
Yes
Explanation: The device's output is "intended as an adjunct means to help visualize vasculature and identify arteries leading to the vicinity of hypervascular lesions in the liver," which is used by physicians to aid in their evaluation of hepatic arterial anatomy. This indicates it provides information that contributes to a diagnosis or assessment of a medical condition.
Yes
The device description explicitly states it is a "software-only application".
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: FlightPlan for Liver is a software package that processes and analyzes imaging data (3D X-ray angiography images) of the liver. It helps visualize vasculature and plan procedures based on these images.
- Lack of Sample Analysis: The device does not interact with or analyze biological samples from the patient. Its input is image data, not a biological specimen.
Therefore, FlightPlan for Liver falls under the category of medical imaging software or image processing software, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
No
The letter does not explicitly state that the FDA has reviewed and approved or cleared a Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP) for this specific device.
Intended Use / Indications for Use
FlightPlan for Liver is a post processing software package that helps the analysis of 3D X-ray angiography images of the liver.

Device Description
FlightPlan for Liver with the Parenchyma Analysis option is a post-processing, software-only application using 3D X-ray angiography images (CBCT) as input. It helps physicians visualize and analyze vasculature to aid in the planning of endovascular embolization procedures in the liver. It was developed from modifications to the predicate device, GE's FlightPlan for Liver [K121200], including the addition of 2 new algorithms supporting the Parenchyma Analysis option. The Parenchyma Analysis option is what triggered this 510k.
The subject device also includes a feature, Live Tracking, that was cleared in the reference device, GE's FlightPlan for Embolization. The software operates on GE's Advantage Workstation [K110834] platform and AW Server [K081985] platform and is an extension to the GE's Volume Viewer application [K041521].
The primary features of the software are:
- Multi-modality 3D review to load and compare CBCT, CT, MR, PET, NM dataset side by side with a CBCT dataset.
- Semi-automatic segmentation of the liver arterial tree from an operator-defined starting point in the CBCT images.
- Definition by operator of target(s).
- Semi-automatic segmentation (displayed using color highlights) of vessels from the operatordefined starting point to the vicinity of each target. The vessels are semi-automatically highlighted and are called "vicinity vessels".
- Ability to manually add and remove vessels in the vicinity of the targets.
- Selective display (Live Tracking) of both proximal vessels interactively from a reference point determined by the user's cursor on the vessel, used also in the reference device FlightPlan for Embolization.
- Ability to mark points of interest (POI) to store a cursor position.
- The Parenchyma Analysis option which includes the two new algorithms which triggered this 510k:
- The deep learning-based Liver Segmentation algorithm that performs an automated segmentation of the entire liver on injected CBCT acquisitions. The outputted liver segmentation is an intermediate result that is used as a boundary for the second algorithm, Virtual Parenchyma Visualization (VPV).
- o The non-deep learning Virtual Parenchyma Visualization algorithm that selectively displays, for visualization purposes, the estimated distal liver region adjacent to the distal parts of the computed skeleton of the vessel segmentation (Virtual Parenchyma) interactively from a userdetermined reference point(s).
- Saving of results and export optionally to GE's Vision application [K092639] for 3D road-mapping.
FlightPlan for Liver is intended to be used during the planning phase of liver embolization procedures. These procedures workflows are split in 5 main phases:
- (1) Planning, using 2D DSA and CBCT to characterize the anatomy and identify injection point candidates.
- (2) Navigation, to position catheters under fluoroscopic guidance.
- (3) Decision, to confirm treatment points using 2D DSA and Selective CBCT.
- (4) Treatment, phase which consists into injection of drug to the confirmed treatment points.
- (5) Control, to assess the embolization procedure end-point.
The proposed device is only used as part of (1) Planning.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
The non-DL Virtual Parenchyma Visualization algorithm's performance was evaluated using a test set of proximal CBCT acquisitions from the USA and France. This test set was used to evaluate the performance of the VPV algorithm compared to selective contrast injected CBCT exams from same patients used as the ground truth.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Engineering bench testing of the two new algorithms for the Parenchyma Analysis option demonstrated the new algorithms' capabilities to selectively display vascular structures and estimated distal liver region to support substantial equivalence and demonstrate performance.
A sample of 3D X-ray angiography image pairs, from France and the USA, of non-selective CBCT and selective CBCT images representative of clinical practice in liver embolization were assessed by interventional radiologists using a 5-point Likert scale. The clinical assessment demonstrated that the proposed device FlightPlan for Liver with the Parenchyma Analysis option met its predefined acceptance criteria and helps physicians visualize and analyze 3D X-ray angiography images, can be used to estimate distal liver regions from a reference point, and aids in the planning of embolization procedures in the liver, including the selection of embolization injection points.

Software documentation for a MODERATE level of concern.
Additional Non-Clinical Testing
Engineering bench testing of the two new algorithms for the Parenchyma Analysis option demonstrated the new algorithms' capabilities to selectively display vascular structures and estimated distal liver region to support substantial equivalence and demonstrate performance.
A database of contrast injected CBCT liver acquisitions from clinical sites in the USA and France was used for the training and testing of the deep learning Liver Segmentation algorithm.
The non-DL Virtual Parenchyma Visualization algorithm's performance was evaluated using a test set of proximal CBCT acquisitions from the USA and France. This test set was used to evaluate the performance of the VPV algorithm compared to selective contrast injected CBCT exams from same patients used as the ground truth.
The variety of exams in the evaluations is representative of the clinical scenarios where FlightPlan for Liver with the Parenchyma Analysis option is intended to be used. The test results of both of the algorithms met their predefined acceptance criteria.
Summary of Clinical Testing
A sample of 3D X-ray angiography image pairs, from France and the USA, of non-selective CBCT and selective CBCT images representative of clinical practice in liver embolization were assessed by interventional radiologists using a 5-point Likert scale.
