Intended Use
Diffusion Weighted Imaging is intended for use in generating unique contrast/information about the diffuse mobility of water or other proton containing molecules. Changes in mobility of the apparent diffusion coefficients in tissue can be seen much earlier phase than originally possible with conventional proton density, T1 or T2 weighted imaging. This change indicates neurological anomalies, of which diagnosis of acute stroke is one of the important applications. Diffusion Weighted Imaging generates contrast/information about the apparent diffusion coefficients that reflect the anisotropic nature of tissue composition (e.g. fiber tracts in brain white matter) that otherwise cannot be visualized by conventional proton density, T1 or T2 weighted imaging.
Device Description
Sensitivity to diffusion has been induced by applying two identical large magnetic field gradient pulses, socalled diffusion gradients, to the basic (SE or SE-EPI) pulse sequences. One diffusion gradient is applied before the 180 degree refocussing RF pulse and the second after the 180 degree RF pulse. During imaging static spins will be dephased as a result of the first applied diffusion gradient followed by complete rephasing by the second gradient pulse. If the molecules are moving inbetween the two diffusion gradients, non-complete rephasing will occur, resulting in the diffusion weighting. Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) on the Philips Gyroscan NT systems is offered in the following two optional packages: - Diffusion package: allowing basic DWI sequences, based on Spin Echo (SE) sequences in combination . with motion reduction techniques. - Extended Diffusion Package: allowing faster acquisition as DWI is based on Spin Echo Planar ● Imaging (SE-EPI) sequences with motion rechniques. Both Single Shot Diffusion EPI as well as multi-shot Diffusion EPI versions are possible.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the physics of diffusion-weighted imaging using magnetic field gradients and standard MRI pulse sequences (SE, SE-EPI). There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the intended use, device description, or the "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section.

No
The device is used for diagnostic imaging (identifying neurological anomalies and acute stroke) by generating contrast/information about the diffuse mobility of water, not for treating a condition.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that changes in apparent diffusion coefficients in tissue can indicate "neurological anomalies, of which diagnosis of acute stroke is one of the important applications." This explicitly states its use in identifying and characterizing a disease condition (diagnosing acute stroke).

No

The device description explicitly details the application of magnetic field gradient pulses and RF pulses within the context of MRI pulse sequences (SE and SE-EPI). This indicates the device is a hardware component or a system incorporating hardware, not solely software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The description clearly states that this device is a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system used for generating images of the body (specifically mentioning neurological anomalies and brain white matter). It does not involve the analysis of biological samples like blood, urine, or tissue biopsies.
  • The intended use is for generating images and information about tissue properties. While this information can be used by a clinician for diagnosis, the device itself is not performing a diagnostic test on a biological specimen. It's providing imaging data.
  • The device description focuses on the technical aspects of MRI pulse sequences. This is consistent with an imaging device, not a device designed to analyze biological samples.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical imaging device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

System Description :

Sensitivity to diffusion has been induced by applying two identical large magnetic field gradient pulses, socalled diffusion gradients, to the basic (SE or SE-EPI) pulse sequences.

One diffusion gradient is applied before the 180 degree refocussing RF pulse and the second after the 180 degree RF pulse. During imaging static spins will be dephased as a result of the first applied diffusion gradient followed by complete rephasing by the second gradient pulse. If the molecules are moving inbetween the two diffusion gradients, non-complete rephasing will occur, resulting in the diffusion weighting. Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) on the Philips Gyroscan NT systems is offered in the following two optional packages:

  • Diffusion package: allowing basic DWI sequences, based on Spin Echo (SE) sequences in combination . with motion reduction techniques.
  • Extended Diffusion Package: allowing faster acquisition as DWI is based on Spin Echo Planar ● Imaging (SE-EPI) sequences with motion rechniques. Both Single Shot Diffusion EPI as well as multi-shot Diffusion EPI versions are possible.

Technological Characteristics:

The technological characteristics remain the same as those for other Gyroscan NT systems. New sequences are available as the option is enabled.

General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns

The new Diffusion Weighted MRI sequences are extensions to the already available Spin Echo (SE), Inversion Recovery (IR) and Spin Echo Echo Planar Imaging (SE-EPI) sequences. Diffusion Weighted Imaging does not induce any other safety risks than the forementioned regular imaging techniques. No other warnings than those already valid for the above mentioned techniques are added to the Operator Manual of Gyroscan NT systems.

Substantial Equivalence

The (Extended) DIFFUSION package is substantially equivalent to the commercially available Grroscan NT sequences like SE, IR and SE-EPI and the Siemens Diffusion Weighted - MR Imaging.
