Device Description

A detailed description of each of all functions is contained in the Functional Requirements Specification, included as Appendix B. The following feature comparison provides an easy way to identify the changes between the initial 510(k) for DICOM Client submitted December 1995, and this addendum for DI-2000.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) Summary for a medical device (DI-2000 DICOM Client) submitted in 1998. It details the device's features, comparisons to equivalent devices, and information regarding safety and effectiveness. However, it does not explicitly contain a study designed to prove specific acceptance criteria with reported device performance metrics in the way a modern clinical or performance study report might.

Instead, the document primarily focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices and outlining the software's functionality and hazard analysis. The "Test Data and Conclusions" section refers to "Appendix B," which is not provided in the input, but based on the context of a 510(k) submission from 1998 for PACS components (which are considered accessories to medical imaging devices), it is highly unlikely to contain a multi-reader, multi-case study with human readers or detailed standalone algorithm performance.

Here's an analysis based on the available information:

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance

Based on the provided text, specific, quantitative acceptance criteria with corresponding performance metrics are not explicitly stated or presented in a table format. The document describes the device's features and its compliance with standards, implying that meeting these features and standards constitutes "acceptance."

The key "performance" aspect discussed is related to image compression, specifically Wavelet compression. The document describes the technical methodology of Wavelet compression, its mathematical underpinnings, and asserts that it can achieve "no appreciable effect on image quality" when performing lossless compression. It also states that "After an image has undergone a wavelet transform, an effort is made to detect those regions of the transform which have little or no contrast. Once such a region has been identified, it is quantized (stored with fewer bits of precision than those parts of the transform which appear important). It is in the quantization steps that all loss occurs. Once quantization is performed, it is not possible to retrieve the original, higher presentation." This describes the mechanism of lossy compression and implies a trade-off between compression ratio and original image fidelity.

Given the absence of a direct table, I can infer some "acceptance criteria" from the product's features and standards, and the "reported device performance" as implied functionalities:

Study Information (Based on Available Text):

The document does not describe a detailed scientific study with specific performance metrics such as accuracy, sensitivity, or specificity. Instead, it seems to rely on:

  • Hazard Analysis: To identify, evaluate, and mitigate risks.
  • Feature Comparison: Demonstrating equivalence to predicate devices based on shared and improved features.
  • Compliance with Standards: Adherence to established industry and regulatory standards.
  • Assertions of Functionality: Stating what the software "can do" or "supports."

Here's an breakdown based on your requested points, highlighting what is not present in the provided text:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: As detailed above, explicit quantitative criteria and performance results in a table are not provided. The "acceptance criteria" are inferred from the stated functionalities and compliance needs.

  2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective): Not specified. The document mentions "Test Data and Conclusions" are in Appendix B (which is missing). However, the general tone of the document, focusing on software features and DICOM compliance for a PACS component, suggests that "test data" would likely pertain to functional testing and adherence to DICOM standards rather than clinical image-based performance testing.

  3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not specified. This information is typically found in studies evaluating image interpretation or diagnostic accuracy, which is not the primary focus of this submission for a DICOM client software.

  4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not specified.

  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, an MRMC study was not done or described. This type of study is associated with AI-powered diagnostic aids, which is not what the DI-2000 DICOM Client (a PACS component for digitization and transfer) is.

  6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: No, a standalone algorithm performance study (in a diagnostic sense) was not done or described. The "Image Processing Algorithm" feature mentioned would likely refer to general image display adjustments rather than a diagnostic algorithm. The primary "algorithm" discussed is image compression (JPEG and Wavelet), where the performance is described in terms of its technical mechanism and effect on image size and, anecdotally, "no appreciable effect on image quality" for lossless compression.

  7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): Not specified. As there's no mention of a diagnostic performance study, there's no ground truth explicitly defined for such a purpose. For functional testing, the "ground truth" would be the expected behavior of the software according to its design specifications and DICOM standards.

  8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable/Not specified. This device is a DICOM client software, not an AI/Machine Learning model that would require a "training set" in the conventional sense of pattern recognition or diagnostic algorithms. Its development would involve software engineering and testing.

  9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable/Not specified. See point 8.


Conclusion:

The provided 510(k) summary for the DI-2000 DICOM Client focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence through feature comparison, adherence to standards, and a hazard analysis for a software accessory to medical imaging systems. It does not present a detailed clinical or performance study with quantified acceptance criteria and measured device performance metrics in the way modern AI/CADx devices often do. The "Test Data and Conclusions" are referred to an Appendix (B) which is not available, but given the nature of the device and the submission date (1998), it's highly improbable that it would contain the type of study details requested.

Hazard Analysis

.

.

Formal analysis of the design for potential and existing hazards takes place during the requirements phase, the design phase, and during the testing phase. All potential existing hazards are analyzed using the following steps:

  • Determine if hazard exists in the product. Hazard Identification .
    • Level of Concern Determine whether the hazard is of minor, moderate, or major concern.
  • Determine all possible causes through analysis or testing. Possible Causes .
    • Identify possible methods of controlling or eliminating the Methods of Control hazard.
  • Decide upon corrective action to mitigate the hazard. Corrective Action .

The DI-2000 software was analyzed for potential hazards. A summary of hazards that were considered and found not to be exposures in the design of DI-2000 are included in Appendix E.

Level of Concern

The level of concern for the DI-2000 software is considered low for the following reasons:

  • If the transfer of data cannot be completed without compromising the image quality, the 1. transaction cannot be completed, and therefore, the image quality cannot be lost.
  • The system provides checks and balances for potential user errors, such as failing to save 2. images, or assigning duplicate IDs. The system will not allow users to proceed until images are cleared or saved appropriately.
  • These checks and balances are re-validated with each release of the product. Separate test 3. plans exercise these specific points within the system. Products are not released until all checks and balances are fully validated.

In general, the software conforms to the image formats described in the DICOM standard.

Wavelet compression description.

DI-2000 supports the use of wavelet compression in addition to JPEG (described in the original submission of the 510(k), K955708, December 5, 1995.) Images that have been compressed using the wavelet technique are included in Appendix B.

Wavelet transform based compression involves the representation of an image at a variety of scales of resolution. The wavelet transform itself is performed by repeatedly filtering the image with a pair of high and low pass digital filters which obey strict mathematical constraints. Often referred to as a multi-resolution decomposition, the wavelet transform allows fine details in an image (otherwise known as "contrast" information) to be separated from larger scale trends. In this implementation, the requested compression ratio controls the degree of contrast identified. After an image has undergone a wavelet transform, an effort is made to detect those regions of the transform which have little or no contrast. Once such a region has been identified, it is quantized (stored with fewer bits of precision than those parts of the transform which appear important). It is in the quantization steps that all loss occurs. Once quantization is performed, it is not possible to retrieve the original, higher presentation. Following quantization, standard lossless compression techniques are used which includes run-length encoding. These techniques perform quite well as they are generally operating on data which contains large runs of zero with no appreciable effect on image quality.

As the rows of the image are sent to the compressor, the lengths are padded to a multiple of 16 and then the row transform is performed. After all of the lines have been sent, the last line is copied as many times as needed to pad the height to a multiple of 16. The image is then sent off to have its columns transformed; this completes the first-level decomposition

Figure 1 Subband structure of single-level wavelet transform

For each of the three high-frequency quadrants, an energy mapping is computed. Each quadrant is broken up into 8x8 sub-blocks and the energy of each sub-block is computed.

{5}------------------------------------------------

These energy values are sent off to a clustering algorithm which partitions them into 4 levels. Each 8x8 sub-block in the quadrant is labeled with one of the four levels. The resulting three mappings are stored to be used later in partitioning of the subbands.

Figure 2 Example of energy partitioning map of a high-frequency quadrant.

The decomposition is finished by doing one more level in the high frequency quadrants and then performing the standard decomposition in the LL quadrant until the lowest resolution subband image dimensions are at some specified level.

Table 3 Subband structure of a full wavelet decomposition.

After the decomposition, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th level subbands are each partitioned into 4 sequences by the mapping constructed in step 2. The 2nd level subbands are subdivided into 4x4 subblocks and one of the mappings is superposed on this subdivision. The 3d level subbands are subdivided into 2x2 subblocks and, again, one of the mappings are superposed on this subdivision. Finally, one of the mappings is superposed onto the 4" level subbands. Recall that in step 2, three mappings were constructed. The particular mappings applied to each of the 2nd-4th level subbands can be obtained by referring to figure 3. These mappings partition each of the 2nd-4th level subbands into 4 sequences which constitute one part of the bands making up the transformed data Each of the remaining higher level subbands form the other set of transform bands. For each transform band, we calculate the normalized kurtosis, the 40 moment divided by the squared variance, and then matched to a generalized Gaussian distribution. The normalized kurtosis of a generalized Gaussian distribution with exponent $\alpha$ and variance $\sigma$2 is given by

{6}------------------------------------------------

$$\frac{E\left[\mathbf{x}^{*}\right]}{\sigma^{2}} = \frac{\Gamma(\frac{1}{\alpha})}{\Gamma(\frac{3}{\alpha})\Gamma(\frac{1}{\alpha})} \frac{1}{\alpha}.$$

where I is the ordinary Gamma function. The kurtosis is then matched to one of the predetermined generalized Gaussian exponents .5, .75, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0. This exponent, along with the variance, is used to supply the generalized Gaussian pdf model for the given transform band.

The transform bands, along with there model parameters a and o2 and the length of the band, are sent to a bit-allocator which then returns the step sizes to be used in the quantization of each transform band.
