AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study details for the DeepContour (V1.0) device, based on the provided FDA 510(k) Summary:

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" as a set of predefined quantitative thresholds the device must meet. Instead, the study's aim is to demonstrate that DeepContour's performance is equivalent to or better than the predicate devices. The primary metric used for this comparison is the Dice coefficient, and the implicit acceptance criterion is that DeepContour's performance is not significantly worse than the predicates.

The equivalence definition is stated as: "the lower bound of 95th percentile confidence interval of the subject device segmentation is greater than 0.1 Dice lower than the mean of predicate device segmentation."

Below is a table summarizing the reported Dice coefficients for DeepContour and the predicate devices for a selection of structures. It also includes the summary Average Symmetric Surface Distance (ASSD) comparison.

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Sample Size: 203 CT images.
    • 100 clinical datasets
    • 103 American public datasets (60 from LCTSC, 43 from Pancreas-CT)
  • Data Provenance:
    • 100 clinical datasets: Retrospectively collected from Peking Union Medical College Hospital (China).
    • 103 American public datasets: Publicly available datasets originally from American sources.
      • 2017 Lung CT Segmentation Challenge (LCTSC): 60 thoracic CT scan patients.
      • Pancreas-CT (PCT): 43 abdominal contrast-enhanced CT scan patients.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

  • For the 100 clinical datasets (China): Two radiation oncologists with more than 10 years of clinical practice established the ground truth annotations. Their detailed CVs are in Appendix 2 (not provided in the input, but referenced).
  • For the 103 American public datasets: Annotated by American doctors. (Specific qualifications not detailed in the provided text).

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • For the 100 clinical datasets (China): The ground truth was established by two radiation oncologists. A third qualified internal staff member was available to adjudicate if needed. This implies a 2+1 adjudication method if there was disagreement.
  • For the 103 American public datasets: No explicit adjudication method is mentioned, only that they were "annotated by American doctors."

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

The provided text does not describe a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study involving human readers with and without AI assistance to measure improvement in human performance. The study focuses on the standalone performance of the AI algorithm (DeepContour) compared to predicate devices.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Yes, a standalone performance study was done. The entire "Performance comparison" section (Tables 5, 6, 7, and 8) details the Dice coefficients and ASSD values for the DeepContour algorithm, directly comparing its segmentation performance against the ground truth and the predicate devices. There is no human reader involved in generating the DeepContour results reported in these tables.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

  • For the 100 clinical datasets (China): Expert consensus (two radiation oncologists applying RTOG and clinical guidelines using manual annotation, with a third available for adjudication).
  • For the 103 American public datasets: Expert annotation by American doctors. (Implied expert consensus or single expert annotation from the original dataset creation process, as described by the original publications).

8. The sample size for the training set

  • # of Datasets: 800 CT images.
    • 200 for head and neck region
    • 200 for chest region
    • 200 for abdomen region
    • 200 for pelvic region
    • (Out of these, 160 cases per region were used for training, and 40 cases per region for validation.)

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

The initial segmentations were reviewed and corrected by two radiation oncologists for model training, with a third qualified internal staff member available to adjudicate if needed. This indicates an expert review and correction process, likely similar to the 2+1 adjudication method used for the test set ground truth.

7. PERFORMANCE AND NONCLINICAL TESTS

Software verification and validation were conducted, and the process was documented per FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices."

Verification test results demonstrate conformance to applicable requirements and specifications. Testing against the predicate device demonstrates good agreement, proving that tested device can be used as equivalent contouring software for clinical purposes. No animal studies or clinical tests were required for validation of the software.

{10}------------------------------------------------

7.1 Training Datasets

For DeepContour, the deep learning models were trained on a pool of training data that did not include any patients from the same institution as the test subjects. The data was collected from 35 hospitals across China over a period of about 3 years. The data collection time is random, including patients with different ages, races, size, et al. Data collected in a hospital tends to be a collection of consecutive cases. Due to the different time periods applicable to different hospitals, the time for collecting data varies among different hospitals. The specific patient subgroups were not the special consideration when collecting the patients' data.

The training data included 800 CT images (200 for each region of head and neck region, chest region, abdomen region and pelvic region) at various ages, no ethnicities or genders were excluded from training. Within 200 cases collected in each region, 160 cases were used for training and 40 cases were used for validation to establish the auto-segmentation models. The auto-segmentation process includes two steps: first step to distinguish the four different regions (head and neck region, chest region, abdomen region and pelvic region), second step to call the model of this region to realize auto-segmentation. The initial segmentations were then reviewed and corrected by two radiation oncologists for model training, with a third qualified internal staff member available to adjudicate if needed.

(2) American public datasets (N=103);

(a)The 2017 lung CT segmentation challenge (LCTSC), which contains 60 thoracic CT scan patients with five segmented organs (left lung, right lung, heart, spinal cord, and esophagus), (b) Pancreas-CT (PCT), which contains 43 abdominal contrast enhanced CT scan patients with seven segmented organs (the spleen, left kidney, esophagus, liver, stomach, pancreas, and duodenum). The American public datasets were annotated by the American doctors. The article was published in the journal (Medical Physics), doi: 10.1002/mp.14131. (Please refer to more information about the two publicly available datasets: https://wiki.cancerimagingarchive.net/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=24284539, https://wiki.cancerimagingarchive.net/display/Public/Pancreas-CT)

The auto-segmentation process is the same with what was applied to the training dataset with two steps: first step to distinguish the four different regions (head and neck region, chest region, abdomen region and pelvic region), second step to call the model of this region to realize auto-segmentation. The ground truth annotations for the 100 cases in China were established by two different radiation oncologists with more than 10 years of clinical practice (See Appendix 2 for their detailed CVs) following RTOG and clinical guidelines using manual annotation. A third qualified internal staff member is also available to adjudicate if needed. American public datasets (N=103) were annotated by the American doctors.

The CT images in the 100 test cases were curated for suitability and to avoid bias through rich pre-processing and post-processing methods. Due to the differences between patients and the differences in CT machine image data, the data augmentation was used during training to simulate possible data situations in clinical practice, thereby increasing the model's generalization ability. The strategy of first localization and then segmentation is also used to improve the accuracy of the model.

7.3 Rigid and deformable registration

The rigid and deformable registration methods are mainly used for contour mapping in the delineation of target areas and organs at risk. The following Table showed the results between planning CT images (moving image) and CBCT images (Fixed images), rpCT represents rigid planning CT, dpCT1 represents deformed planning CT with our algorithms, and dpCT2 represents deformed planning CT with predicate device. The metrics include the mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), and structural similarity (SSIM).

7.4 Performance comparison

The mean and standard deviation of Dice coefficients was calculated for each organ in the subject device compared with the predicate device. The results of the subject device demonstrate equivalent or better performance compared to the predicate device when aggregate performance over all organs is considered with known limitations described in the labeling. Here equivalence is defined such that the lower bound of 95th percentile confidence interval of the subject device segmentation is greater than 0.1 Dice lower than the mean of predicate device segmentation.
