Transpara Density is a software application intended for use with data from compatible digital breast tomosynthesis systems. Transpara Density utilises deep learning artificial intelligence algorithms to automatically determine volumetric breast density (VBD), breast volume, and an ACR BI-RADS 5th Edition breast density category to aid health care professionals in the assessment of breast tissue composition. It is not a diagnostic aid.
Transpara Density is a software module that uses artificial intelligence techniques to assess breast density in mammography (DM) and breast tomosynthesis (DBT) images and provide support to radiologists in this task. The novel methods of Transpara Density, extend the capabilities of computer aided detection systems for mammography by providing radiologists with decision support via the output of density assessment.
The Transpara Density outputs are:
- Density Grade, in accordance with categories defined in the ACR BI-RADS Atlas 5th Edition (A = almost entirely fat; B = scattered fibroglandular densities; C = heterogeneously dense; and D = extremely dense)
 - Volumetric Breast Density in % .
 - . Breast volume in cm3
 
Transpara Density is designed as an optional feature of Transpara. To operate in a clinical environment the software must be embedded in a software application that generates output in standardized formats (e.g. DICOM) and handles communication with external devices (such as PACS systems).

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Accuracy (Physics Model & MRI):
- Physics Model Comparison: 5,468 exams.
 - MRI Comparison: 190 exams.
 
 - Reproducibility (CC vs. MLO, Left vs. Right Breast, FFDM vs. DBT):
- CC vs. MLO and Left vs. Right Breast: 10,804 exams.
 - FFDM vs. DBT: 433 exams (where images of both modalities were available).
 
 - Agreement with Human Readers (Main Study): 800 women (400 DM and 400 DBT examinations).
 - Data Provenance:
- The test data originated from multiple clinical centers in the US, UK, Turkey, and five EU countries (Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, Spain, Belgium, Italy).
 - The data collection sites are described as "representative for regular breast cancer screening and diagnostic assessment in hospitals."
 - The studies were retrospective, using existing data. The human reader study implies a retrospective collection of images to be reviewed.
 
 
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
- Number of Experts: Eight (8) MQSA-qualified radiologists.
 - Qualifications of Experts: "MQSA-qualified radiologists according to the ACR BI-RADS Atlas 5th Edition." (MQSA stands for Mammography Quality Standards Act, indicating they are qualified to interpret mammograms clinically in the US).
 
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

 - Tie Resolution: Ties in the panel majority vote were resolved by taking the majority vote of the three most experienced radiologists in the panel.
 
5. 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
- No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not explicitly described as being done to assess human reader improvement with AI assistance. The study focused on the standalone performance of the Transpara Density device against human reader consensus, not how the AI assists human readers.
 
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
- Yes, extensive standalone performance testing was done. The entire "Summary of non-clinical performance data" section describes the device's performance in terms of accuracy, reproducibility, and agreement with human readers, all reflecting the algorithm's direct output. The conclusion explicitly states: "Standalone performance tests demonstrated that requirements were met."
 
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- Expert Consensus (Proxy for Ground Truth): For the agreement with human readers, the ground truth for the ACR BI-RADS 5th Edition breast density category was established by a panel majority vote of eight MQSA-qualified radiologists, with tie-breaking by the three most experienced.
 - Physics-Based Model / MRI Measurements (Reference for Accuracy): For the volumetric breast density (VBD) and breast volume (BV) accuracy assessments, the ground truth was based on:
- A validated physics-based model described in literature (van Engeland 2006).
 - Volumetric measurements from breast MRI studies in the same patients.
 
 
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- The document does not explicitly state the sample size for the training set. It only mentions that the "test data was not used for algorithm training and was not accessible to members of the research and development team."
 
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- The document does not provide details on how the ground truth for the training set was established. It only indicates that the test data was separate from the training data.

Transpara Density is a software-only device. The level of concern for the device is determined as Moderate Level of Concern.
Non-clinical performance tests
Verification testing was conducted, which consisted of software unit testing, software integration testing and software system testing. The verification tests showed that the software application satisfied the software requirements.
{9}------------------------------------------------
Transpara Density was evaluated by tests covering accuracy, reproducibility, consistency, and agreement with visual assessment by healthcare professionals involved in breast imaging.
Test data
The test data used for the evaluation of the automated density algorithm included exams from 10,804 women with ages ranging from 40-92. The dataset includes FFDM (10,804 exams) and DBT (833 exams) from multiple vendors including GE (26%), Siemens (16%), Hologic (37%) and Fujifilm (21%). All exams contained at least the four standard views (left and right MLO/CC). The test data was not used for algorithm training and was not accessible to members of the research and development team.
Data originated from multiple clinical centers located in the US, the UK, Turkey, and five countries in the EU (the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, Spain, Belgium, Italy), Data collection sites are representative for reqular breast cancer screening and diagnostic assessment in hospitals.
Characteristics of the test set, i.e. Density Grade distribution, were evaluated and compared to those reported in literature, confirming that the test set is representative of the target population in the intended use.
Accuracy
Volumetric breast density (VBD) and breast volume (BV) should be in agreement with measurements obtained using a validated physics based model described in the literature (van Engeland 2006). https://doi.org/10.1109/TMI.2005.862741). Performance was tested with a dataset of 5,468 exams. The Pearson correlation between VBD computed with Transpara Density and the physics model was 0.935 [95% Cl: 0.931 - 0.938]. For breast volume the Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.997.
VBD obtained with Transpara Density was also compared to volumetric measurements based on breast MRI studies in the same patients, for exams acquired within a short time frame. Using a dataset of 190 exams, the Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.908 [95% Cl: 0.878 - 0.931].
Results show that Transpara Density provides accurate estimates of VBD compared to breast MRI and a physics based model.
Reproducibility
VBD computed in MLO and CC views of the same breast should be similar. In a comparison performed using 10,804 exams. Transpara Density has a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.947 [95% Cl: 0.945 - 0.948] and a mean absolute deviation of 1.22% [95%
{10}------------------------------------------------
CI: 1.19% - 1.24%] between CC and MLO views. Minor deviations may be explained by differences in breast positioning.
Using the same dataset, a comparison was also made of VBD computed in the right and left breast of the same patient. The Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.953 [95% Cl: 0.951 - 0.955] with a mean absolute deviation of 1.14% [95% CI: 1.10% - 1.17%] between the left and right breast.
To compare VBD and DG for DM and DBT acquisitions a dataset of 433 exams was used in which images of both modalities were available. The Pearson correlation coefficient in this comparison was 0.912 [95% Cl: 0.904 - 0.920], with a mean absolute deviation of 1.68% [95% C1: 1.57% - 1.78%] between VBD values on FFDM and DBT acquisitions. There was a high agreement in the four category DG values for DM and DBT with a quadratically weighted kappa of 0.810 [95% Cl: 0.787 - 0.835].
Agreement with human readers
A study was performed with 400 digital mammography and 400 digital breast tomosynthesis examinations from 800 women with a median age of 56, originating from multiple clinical centers and representative for screening and diagnostic assessment procedures. Breast tissue composition in these examinations was independently assessed by eight MQSA-qualified radiologists according to the ACR BI-RADS Atlas 5th Edition. A panel majority vote was computed for each exam to serve as a reference standard in a comparison with the automated breast density grades determined by Transpara Density. Ties in the panel majority-vote were resolved by taking the majority vote of the three most experienced radiologists in the panel. Five exams were excluded from analysis because of non-compliant DICOM headers which caused a failure of the density measurement.
Agreement was assessed by computing accuracy using 4x4 and 2x2 (for non-dense (a+b) and dense (c+d) confusion matrices (figure 1 and figure 2). Also, Cohen's quadratically weighted kappa was calculated to measure the inter-rater agreement for categorical items. Overall the accuracy was 70.8% [95% Cl: 67.6% - 73.9%] [Cohen's weighted kappa = 0.74 [95% Cl: 0.70 - 0.79] for the four breast density categories (a-b-c-d), and 88.9% [95% C1: 86.6% - 90.9%] [Cohen's weighted kappa = 0.78 [95% C1: 0.72 - 0.84]] for the dense vs non-dense assessment.
For dense vs. non-dense classification, Transpara Density has a sensitivity of 87.3% [95% CI: 83.6% - 90.3%], and a specificity of 90.4% [95% CI: 87.2% - 92.9%].

Conclusions 8.
The data presented in this 510(k) includes all required information to support the review by FDA. Performance tests have shown that Transpara Density delivers results that are in high agreement with the visual assessment done by radiologists and that standalone performance requirements were met. Agreement was found between the majority vote of a panel of eight MQSA-qualified radiologists and Transpara Density in classifying dense from non-dense breasts. Standalone performance tests demonstrated that requirements were met.
ScreenPoint has applied a risk management process in accordance with FDA recognized standards to identify, evaluate, and mitigate all known hazards related to Transpara Density. All identified risks are effectively mitigated and it can be concluded that the residual risk is outweighed by the benefits.
Considering all data in this submission, the data provided in this 510(k) application supports the safe and effective use of Transpara Density for its indications for use and substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
§ 892.2050 Medical image management and processing system.
(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)
