b) Data Description
- 2D XA image of vessel stenosis standard phantom
- 30 clinical cases include15 cases 2D coronary angiography images, 10 cases 2D cerebral artery digital subtraction angiography images and 5 cases 2D lower limb artery digital subtraction angiography images.
c) Results
| Parameters | Mean Relative Error Rate (MRE %) |
|---|---|
| Dstenosis | 2.11 % (95% CI: 1.57-2.61%) |
| Dmax | 1.71 % (95% CI:1.20-2.30%) |
| Dmin | 1.93 % (95% CI:1.30-2.60%) |
| Ref D1 | 1.20 % (95% CI:0.80-1.60%) |
| Ref D2 | 1.14 % (95% CI:0.70-1.50%) |
| Interpolated D | 1.14 % (95% CI:0.70-1.60%) |
| Stenosis Length | 0.49 % (95% CI: 0.26-0.79%) |
| Stenosis Rate | Bland-Altman analysis: 96.33% of points within limits of agreement (LoA: -3.35% to +3.19%) |
Notes: The Vessel Length is defined as the Stenosis Length when the user manually adjusts Ref 1 and Ref 2 to the head and tail endpoints of the blood vessel segment. Since its underlying algorithm is identical to the independently validated algorithm for Stenosis Length, this output is also considered verified.
2) Left Ventricular Analysis
Based on 2D DSA fluoroscopic images, end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), ejection fraction (EF), and stroke volume (SV) are calculated from physician-delineated contours of the left ventricle. Using the same contour data, wall motion analysis is performed, which computes the displacement of 100 equidistant points along the ventricular wall and generates a standardized displacement map.
a) Test Method
- EDV, ESV, SV and EF were evaluated based on a comparison with the Ground Truth derived from the CAMUS dataset.
- Wall motion analysis was evaluated based on the rationality of each algorithmic step. The output (standardized displacement map) is generated by normalizing the displacement of 100 equidistant points along the centerline against the perimeter of the ventricular wall contour at end-diastole (ED). The contour was manually delineated by a clinician to ensure its rationality. And the rationality of point displacement was assessed according to the centering degree of the centerline and the orthogonality of displacement vectors.
b) Data Description
- For EDV, ESV, SV and EF evaluation, 60 left ventricular binarized images with ground truth for ventricular volume and ejection fraction derived from the CAMUS dataset, and includes 18 cases of heart failure with reduced EF (HfrEF), 14 cases of mildly reduced EF (HfmrEF), and 28 cases of preserved EF (HfpEF).
- For Wall Motion Analysis evaluation, 30 left ventricular binarized images

derived from the CAMUS dataset, and includes 11 cases of heart failure with reduced EF (HfrEF), 8 cases of mildly reduced EF (HfmrEF), and 11 cases of preserved EF (HfpEF).
c) Results
EDV, ESV, SV and EF
| Parameter | Result |
|---|---|
| EDV (SR method) | Bland-Altman analysis: 100% of points within limits of agreement (LoA: -9.61 to +11.5 mL) |
| EDV (AL method) | Bland-Altman analysis: 100% of points within limits of agreement (LoA: -12.45 to +8.65 mL) |
| ESV (SR method) | Bland-Altman analysis: 100% of points within limits of agreement (LoA: -5.61 to +3.80 mL) |
| ESV (AL method) | Bland-Altman analysis: 95.5% of points within limits of agreement (LoA: -7.84 to +4.19 mL) |
| SV (SR method) | Bland-Altman analysis: 95.5% of points within limits of agreement (LoA: -6.44 to 10.12 mL) |
| SV (AL method) | Bland-Altman analysis: 95.5% of points within limits of agreement (LoA: -8.03 to 7.89 mL) |
| EF (SR method) | Bland-Altman analysis: 95.5% of points within limits of agreement (LoA: -3.02 to +4.68 mL) |
| EF (AL method) | Bland-Altman analysis: 100% of points within limits of agreement (LoA: -3.02 to +4.68 mL) |
Wall Motion Analysis
Centerline Rationality: The centerline is required to be equidistant from the ED and ES contours. Tests confirmed that the upper limit of the 95% CI for the mean absolute difference (MAD) between the centerline and both contours was less than 1 pixel. The accuracy achieves sub-pixel level, meeting the centering geometric requirement.
Displacement Vector Orthogonality: The motion of ventricular wall points must be perpendicular to the centerline. Statistical analysis confirmed no significant deviation from 90° in the displacement direction relative to the centerline tangent (all p-values > 0.05), strongly supporting orthogonality.
Notes: Left Ventricular analysis is not intended to replace echocardiography. The clinical ground truth for left ventricular wall motion analysis is echocardiography. This device, designed as a purely manual assistive tool, aims to improve clinicians' efficiency in identifying left ventricular wall motion abnormalities and is not a substitute for echocardiography or other clinical diagnostic methods. It is important to note that due to various constraints (such as the imaging quality of left ventricular angiography, the selection of ED/ES phases, and the accuracy of physician-delineated contours), the quantitative outputs of the device are not directly applicable for clinical decision-making related to cardiac disease/abnormalities.

Using 2D digital subtraction angiography data to calculate parameters, including Arrival Time (AT), Time to Peak (TTP), Wash-in Rate (WIR), Width, Area Under Curve (AUC), Mean Transit Time (MTT) and Rise Time (RT).
a) Test Method
- To validate the Time to Peak (TTP) measurement, 200 time-intensity curves (TICs) from clinical DSA images were analyzed. Ground truth TTP was manually annotated from the TIC based on definition. Agreement between computed and manual TTP was evaluated using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Bland–Altman analysis.
- The simulation study expanded verification to all algorithm parameters (AT, TTP, WIR, Width, AUC, MTT and RT). This phase used 1000 simulated TICs designed to mimic real-world blood flow dynamics, verified through maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) test (p=0.9997). The ground truth was the simulation parameters. The consistency was evaluated via ICC, Bland–Altman analysis.
b) Data Description
- Verification of TTP: 20 DSA images of 13 cases, including 10 sets of head images and 10 sets of lower limb images. We sampled 10 points within the vascular regions of each image, and finally obtained 200 TIC samples for verification.
- Simulation study for all algorithm parameters: Simulated time-intensity curves (TICs) were generated by combining theoretical contrast dynamics models with statistical features extracted from real clinical DSA data covering diverse vascular pathologies, including stenosis, aneurysms, and infarctions, etc. The simulation produced 1,000 TICs incorporating physiological and pathological hemodynamic variations. These generated TICs demonstrated statistical equivalence to real clinical data (MMD test, p=0.999), providing validated benchmarks for algorithm testing.
c) Results
- Verification of TTP: The results demonstrated excellent agreement, with an ICC of 0.9983 and 97% of data points falling within the limits of agreement (LoA) in B-A plot. The LoA was -0.2755 to 0.2191, the mean absolute error (MAE) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was 0.1071 (0.0971 - 0.1169), and the mean relative error (MRE) with 95% CI was 2.5458% (2.2535% - 2.8573%).
- Simulation study for all algorithm parameters: All parameters achieved ICC values exceeding 0.998, with 95% - 98% of points falling within the LoA of B-A plots, which showed excellent agreement between the algorithm results and ground truth. The result of Wilcoxon signed-rank tests confirmed non-significant differences (p>0.05) between them. The various statistical indicators are listed in the table below, including the results of ICC, B-A analysis, p-value of Wilcoxon signed-rank test, MAE and MRE with 95% CI

4) Stitching
Stitching combines several small images with overlapping areas into a single image for visualization purposes.
a) Test Method
- Validate the result of image registration by evaluating the mean target registration error (mTRE);
- Validate Stitching results through the clinical specialist assessments.
b) Data Description
- For validation the result of image registration, six 2D-DSA images were used, including arterial and venous acquisitions. Select ten key points from critical anatomical areas in each image to calculate the mean target error, totaling 60 points.
- For validation of the result of image stitching, twenty 2D-DSA images were used for the verification of the stitching result, including arterial and venous acquisitions.
c) Results
- Image registration accuracy testing. All mTRE values (ranging 0.004-0.037mm) were significantly lower than the pixel diagonal distance (ranging 0.360-0.455mm across images);
- Clinical quality assessment by two U.S.-certified physicians. All stitched clinical cases received perfect scores of 3 on the 3-point scale, indicating no visible seams or structural discontinuities in vascular, bone, or tissue structures;
Notes: The purpose of the stitched image is only for visualization purposes, and not intended for navigation or diagnosis.

§ 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)
