Intended Use

AVIEW Lung Nodule CAD is a Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) software designed to assist radiologists in the detection of pulmonary nodules (with diameter 3-20 mm) during the review of CT examinations of the chest for asymptomatic populations. AVIEW Lung Nodule CAD provides adjunctive information to alert the radiologists to regions of interest with suspected lung nodules that may otherwise be overlooked. AVIEW Lung Nodule CAD may be used as a second reader after the radiologist has completed their initial read. The algorithm has been validated using non-contrast CT images, the majority of which were acquired on Siemens SOMATOM CT series scanners; therefore, limiting device use to use with Siemens SOMATOM CT series is recommended.

Device Description

The AVIEW Lung Nodule CAD is a software product that detects nodules in the lung. The lung nodule detection model was trained by Deep Convolution Network (CNN) based algorithm from the chest CT image. Automatic detection of lung nodules of 3 to 20mm in chest CT images. By complying with DICOM standards, this product can be linked with the Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) and provides a separate user interface to provide functions such as analyzing, identifying, storing, and transmitting quantified values related to lung nodules. The CAD's results could be displayed after the user's first read, and the user could select or de-select the mark provided by the CAD. The device's performance was validated with SIEMENS’ SOMATOM series manufacturing. The device is intended to be used with a cleared AVIEW platform.

Study Details

1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (as above)

2. Sample size used for the test set and data provenance:

  • Test Set Size: 282 cases (140 cases with nodule data and 142 cases without nodule data) for the standalone study.
  • Data Provenance:
    * Geographically distinct US clinical sites.
    * All datasets were built with images from the U.S.
    * Anonymized medical data was purchased.
    * Included both incidental and screening populations.
    * For the Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) study, the dataset consisted of 151 Chest CTs (103 negative controls and 48 cases with one or more lung nodules).

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and their qualifications:

  • Number of Experts: Three (for both the MRMC study and likely for the standalone ground truth, given the consistency in expert involvement).
  • Qualifications: Dedicated chest radiologists with at least ten years of experience.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

  • Not explicitly stated for the "standalone study" ground truth establishment.
  • For the MRMC study, the three dedicated chest radiologists "determined the ground truth" in a blinded fashion. This implies a consensus or majority vote, but the exact method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) is not specified. It does state "All lung nodules were segmented in 3D" which implies detailed individual expert review before ground truth finalization.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study:

  • Yes, an MRMC study was performed.
  • Effect size of human readers improving with AI vs. without AI assistance:
    * AUC: The point estimate difference was 0.19 (from 0.73 unassisted to 0.92 aided).
    * Sensitivity: The point estimate difference was 0.23 (from 0.68 unassisted to 0.91 aided).
    * FP/scan: The point estimate difference was 0.24 (from 0.48 unassisted to 0.28 aided), indicating a reduction in false positives.
  • Reading Time: "Reading time was decreased when AVIEW Lung Nodule CAD aided radiologists."

6. Standalone (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) study:

  • Yes, a standalone study was performed.
  • The acceptance criteria and reported performance for this study are detailed in the table above.

7. Type of ground truth used:

  • Expert consensus by three dedicated chest radiologists with at least ten years of experience. For the standalone study, it is directly compared against "ground truth," which is established by these experts. For the MRMC study, the experts "determined the ground truth." The phrase "All lung nodules were segmented in 3D" suggests a thorough and detailed ground truth establishment.

8. Sample size for the training set:

  • Not explicitly stated in the provided text. The document mentions the lung nodule detection model was "trained by Deep Convolution Network (CNN) based algorithm from the chest CT image," but does not provide details on the training set size.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

  • Not explicitly stated in the provided text.

PERFORMANCE DATA 8

8.1 Clinical performance evaluation

A HIPAA-compliant multi-case, multi-reader, retrospective study design was utilized. An image viewer without or with AI algorithms, AVIEW Lung Nodule CAD program, for lung nodule detection and measurement were used for chest CT reads. Three dedicated chest radiologists with at least ten years of experience determined the ground truth using a dataset of 151 Chest CTs with 103 negative controls and 48 cases with one or more lung nodules. All lung nodules were segmented in 3D. In a blinded fashion, eleven board-certified radiologists interpreted the same cases unassisted, followed by AI assistance after randomization and a 4-week washout period. Data were analyzed in a random reader, random case context, and one-sided tests at the 5% significance level, and 95% confidence intervals were constructed for all estimates. Reading time analyses were performed with mixed-effect Gaussian regression with a fixed effect for AI assistance and with clustering at the reader level. Post estimation marginal estimates were calculated for unassisted versus assisted read times.

The multi-reader multi-case demonstrated that aided radiologist performance for lung nodule detection was improved with statistical significance compared to unaided. Reading time was decreased when AVIEW Lung Nodule CAD aided radiologists. Also, both incidental and screening populations was included on the test dataset. We have performed subgroup analyses for several key subgroups to demonstrate generalizability. This includes assessment of performance for challenging and/or confounding cases.

The standalone study of AI-based lung nodule detection software compared to ground truth was evaluated with sensitivity, specificity, ROC, and FROC. We consider that the software performs successfully when the sensitivity for lung nodule detection performance at the patient level and nodule level exceeds 0.8 and the specificity exceeds 0.6, the ROC AUC for lung nodule detection performance exceeds 0.8 and the sensitivity for lung nodule detection performance exceeds 0.8 in false positive (FP)/scan < 2. Dataset are collected from three geographically distinct US clinical sites. The total number of data is 282 (140 cases with nodule data and 142 cases without nodule data). All datasets were built with images of U.S., and by gender, there were 132 males and 150 females. We validated this test by purchasing anonymized medical data. So, any data used for AI training or internal validation was not used for this test. Also, both incidental and screening populations was included on the test dataset. We have performed subgroup analyses for several key subgroups to demonstrate generalizability. This includes assessment of performance for challenging and/or confounding cases.

CONCLUSIONS ல்

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 clinical tests demonstrate that the device is safe and effective. Therefore, it is our opinion that the AVIEW Lung Nodule CAD described in this substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

(a)
Identification. A medical image management and processing system is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images for the purposes of interpretation by a trained practitioner of disease detection, diagnosis, or patient management. The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.(b)
