Intended Use

DeepTek CXR Analyzer v1.0 is a computer-assisted detection (CADe) software device that analyzes chest radiograph studies using machine learning techniques to identify, categorize, and highlight suspicious ROIs in one of the following categories: Lungs, Pleura, Cardiac, and Hardware. The device is intended for use as a concurrent reading aid for radiologists. DeepTek CXR Analyzer v1.0 is indicated for adults and transitional adolescents (18 to <22 years old but treated like adults) only.

Device Description

DeepTek CXR Analyzer is a computer-assisted detection (CADe) software device developed to assist radiologists in identifying suspicious regions of interest (ROIs) in the following categories: Lungs, Pleura, Cardiac, and Hardware. DeepTek CXR Analyzer detects suspicious ROIs by analyzing adult frontal chest radiographs using deep learning algorithms and provides relevant annotations to assist radiologists with their interpretations.

The device has an authentication graphical user interface, which allows the user to authenticate themselves. The user can connect the PACS with the DeepTek CXR Analyzer using the configuration interface. The user can enter the PACS AE Title, IP address, Listener and Sender Port number to configure the device. Once the device is configured correctly, DeepTek CXR Analyzer receives chest radiographs from the configured PACS in DICOM format as input. DeepTek CXR Analyzer identifies suspicious ROIs in the following categories: Lungs, Pleura, Cardiac, and Hardware, and sends the secondary capture DICOM with AI output to the same PACS over the DICOM protocol. The output DICOM File Processing component creates a DICOM image containing the original radiograph with a message stating that the image was analyzed by DeepTek CXR Analyzer (with information containing manufacturer name, product name, product version, and a link to user manual) and color-coded bounding boxes containing suspected ROIs. If no suspicious ROIs are detected in the image, the output will not contain any bounding boxes and will have a message stating "No Suspicious ROI(s) Detected". In the event of any type of failure in the workflow, a human-readable error message representing the type of failure will be logged in the Logs interface.

DeepTek CXR Analyzer does not make treatment recommendations or provide a diagnosis. Radiologists should review images annotated by DeepTek CXR Analyzer concurrently with original, unannotated images before making the final decision on a case. DeepTek CXR Analyzer is an adjunct tool and does not replace the role of the radiologists. The CAD-generated output should not be used as the primary interpretation by radiologists.

DeepTek CXR Analyzer has been trained using a large and diverse dataset of more than 100,000 chest X-ray images sourced from 30 distinct sites from India, including medical imaging centers, data partners, and medical hospitals, and over 15 different modality manufacturers. The inclusion of such a diverse range of data ensures that the performance of the DeepTek CXR Analyzer generalizes to a wide variety of confounders.

DeepTek CXR Analyzer is not designed to detect conditions other than those classified under the following categories: Lung, Cardiac, Pleura, and Hardware. Radiologists should review original images for all suspected ROIs.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study details for the DeepTek CXR Analyzer v1.0, based on the provided FDA 510(k) submission document:

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The core acceptance criteria are based on the performance metrics of the standalone assessment and the clinical performance assessment. The document states that the device's performance was evaluated by measuring sensitivity, specificity, AUROC (Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve) for detection, and wAFROC-FOM (weighted Alternative Free-Response Receiver Operating Characteristic Figure of Merit) for localization. For the clinical study, the primary objective was to demonstrate that the wAFROC-FOM for aided readings was superior to unaided readings.

    • Clinical Performance Assessment: The document describes the ground truth for the test set in the standalone assessment. For the clinical study, the readers' performance was compared against the established ground truth from the standalone assessment, but the ground truth establishment itself is linked to the radiologist panel from the standalone study.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • Standalone Performance Assessment: The ground truth for the presence or absence of ROI for each category was defined as the majority opinion of 2 out of the 3 radiologists (2/3 consensus).
    • If the majority opinion stated suspicious ROI was present, the union of the area encompassed by the bounding boxes made by all annotators identifying suspicious ROI for that particular category was taken as ground truth ROI.
    • If the majority opinion stated suspicious ROI was absent, ROI was not demarcated on the image.
  4. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

    • Yes, a MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done.
    • Effect Size:
      • The aggregated wAFROC-FOM for aided readings was 0.893 [0.871-0.914].

      • The improvement (effect size) in aggregated wAFROC-FOM when readers were aided by the device was 0.072 (0.893 - 0.821). This improvement was statistically significant (p < 0.0001).
      • Specifically, 24/24 (100%) readers showed an improvement in wAFROC-FOM for localizing suspicious ROIs across all categories when they were aided by DeepTek CXR Analyzer.
  5. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • Yes, a standalone performance assessment was done.
    • This assessment evaluated the DeepTek CXR Analyzer's performance in detection (sensitivity, specificity, AUROC) and localization (wAFROC-FOM) independently, in the absence of human interaction.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    • Expert Consensus: The ground truth for the test sets (both standalone and implicitly for the clinical study) was established by a panel of 3 U.S. board-certified radiologists through a majority opinion (2 out of 3).
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • The device was trained using a large and diverse dataset of more than 100,000 chest X-ray images.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • The document states the training data was sourced from "30 distinct sites from India, including medical imaging centers, data partners, and medical hospitals." While it highlights the diversity, it does not explicitly detail the process for establishing ground truth for the training set (e.g., number of readers, their qualifications, adjudication method). This information is typically provided separately in the technical documentation but is not present in the provided 510(k) summary excerpt for the training set's ground truth. However, it implicitly suggests that these were datasets with existing interpretations or were curated by experts given their source from medical imaging centers and hospitals.

Standalone Performance Assessment

DeepTek conducted a standalone performance assessment to evaluate the performance of DeepTek CXR Analyzer software device in detection (by measuring sensitivity, specificity, and AUROC) and localization (by measuring wAFROC-FOM) of suspicious ROIs from chest X-rays and classifying each ROI into one of the following four categories: Lungs, Pleura, Cardiac, or Hardware.

The primary objective of this study was to measure and report the performance of DeepTek CXR Analyzer independently in the absence of any interaction with human readers.

The test dataset included 2,000 scans from the NIH Chest X-ray Database and 1,000 scans from the Segmed Insight Platform. The dataset from NIH Chest X-ray Database included chest radiographs from 55.6% male and 44.4% female patients. 30.1% of radiographs included in the study were acquired in AP view and 69.9% of radiographs were acquired in PA view. The dataset from the Segmed Insight Platform included data from 13 different sites across various regions of the United States. The dataset from Segmed Insight Platform included chest radiographs from 45.7% male and 54.3% female patients. 21.6% of the chest radiographs were from the age group 18-35, 38.4% of the chest radiographs were from the age group 36-60, and 40% of the chest radiographs were from patients aged 61 years and above. 40.5% of radiographs included in the study were acquired in AP view and 59.5% of radiographs were acquired in PA view. Out of 1,000 scans, racial information was available for 699 scans with individuals of White (46%), Black (15.7%), Asian (5.8%), and other racial (2.3%) backgrounds. Ethnicity information was available for 286 (28.6%) scans with individuals of Hispanic or Latino (20.2%) and non-Hispanic or non-Latino (8.4%) ethnicity. The data was acquired from the following X-ray imaging devices: Samsung Electronics (25.6%), Fujifilm Corporation (20.8%), Konica Minolta (13.7%), Carestream Health (20.3%), Canon Inc. (7.8%), GE Healthcare (7.7%), PACSGear (3.3%). Siemens (0.6%), and Philips Medical Systems (0.2%). This dataset was not used for the DeepTek CXR Analyzer model training and development. Individuals involved in the model development exercise were not involved in the study design or analysis.

The ground truth for each case and category was established by a panel of 3 U.S. board-certified radiologists with 9, 11, and 25 years of experience, respectively. The ground truth (GT) label for the presence or absence of ROI for each category was defined as the majority opinion of 2 out of the 3 the radiologists. If the majority opinion stated suspicious ROI was present for a particular category, the union of the area encompassed by the bounding boxes made by all annotators identifying suspicious ROI for that particular category was taken as ground truth ROI. If the majority opinion stated suspicious ROI was absent, ROI was not demarcated on the image.

The detection performance and localization performance results were as follows:

Detection Performance

The device performance in detecting suspicious ROIs was measured by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve and the sensitivity and specificity obtained by the device at the recommended operating threshold. AUROCs were highest for Cardiac (0.978 [0.968-0.985]) and Hardware (0.980 [0.976-0.983]) and lowest for Pleura (0.964 [0.954-0.970]). Sensitivity was highest for Hardware (0.947 [0.936-0.955]) and lowest for Lungs 0.903 [0.887-0.914]. Specificity was highest for Hardware (0.947 [0.936-0.955]) and lowest for Pleura (0.897 [0.879-0.911]).

The DeepTek CXR Analyzer demonstrated the following results for detection of ROIs.

Localization Performance

The device performance in localizing the suspicious ROIs was measured by the area under the weighted alternative free-response receiver operating characteristic curve as the figure of merit (wAFROC-FOM). DeepTek CXR Analyzer was excellent across all four categories with the highest wAFROC-FOM for Cardiac (0.952 /0.941-0.966)) and Hardware (0.954 /0.948-0.963)), and the lowest for Pleura (0.884 [0.866-0.902]). The device achieved an aggregated wAFROC-FOM of (0.920 [0.908-0.926]) across all chest findings together.

The DeepTek CXR Analyzer demonstrated the following results for localization of ROIs.

Clinical Performance Assessment

DeepTek conducted a fully-crossed multiple reader, multiple case (MRMC) retrospective study to determine the impact of the DeepTek CXR Analyzer on reader performance in detecting and localizing suspicious ROIs in chest radiographs. This study protocol was designed in accordance with FDA's guidance document for industry and FDA staff titled "Clinical Performance Assessment: Considerations for Computer-Assisted Detection Devices Applied to Radiology Images and Radiology Device Data in Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions".

The primary objective of the clinical reader study was to determine whether the performance of readers aided by DeepTek CXR Analyzer is superior to their performance when unaided by DeepTek CXR Analyzer, as determined by the wAFROC-FOM score.

Null hypothesis Ho: wAFROC-FOMaided-WAFROC-FOMumaided ≤ 0

Alternate hypothesis H : wAFROC-FOMaided-WAFROC-FOMunaided > 0

where wAFROC-FOMation-mean wAFROC-FOM for aided reads, and wAFROC FOM maided is the population-mean for unaided reads.

The test dataset consisted of 300 frontal chest radiographs obtained from 13 U.S. hospitals. 24 U.S. board-certified radiologists with varying levels of experience were enrolled in this study. The clinical performance assessment consisted of two independent reading sessions separated by a washout period of 30 days in order to mitigate memory bias. During the first reading session, the readers evaluated each scan in the test dataset while not being aided by the device (unaided reading). During the second reading session, the readers evaluated each scan again, but this time they were aided by the device (aided reading). The evaluation workflow for the unaided and aided readings was identical except that, during the aided reading, a secondary image containing device output markers was shown to the readers in addition to the original image.

To the right of the word is a series of four semi-transparent blue circles that are arranged in a row, with each circle being slightly smaller than the one before it. The circles appear to be overlapping each other.

The area under the weighted alternative free-response receiver operating characteristic curve as the figure of merit (wAFROC-FOM) was used for comparing the performance of the readers during the unaided reading sessions with their performance during the aided reading sessions.The wAFROC-FOM for aided readings was 0.893 [0.871-0.914], which was significantly higher (p<0.0001) than the wAFROC-FOM of 0.821 [0.791-0.852] for unaided readings

The DeepTek CXR Analyzer demonstrated the following results in clinical performance assessment.
