Intended Use

SIS Software is an application intended for use in the viewing, presentation and documentation of medical imaging, including modules for image processing, image fusion, and intraoperative functional planning where the 3D output can be used with stereotactic image guided surgery or other devices for further processing and visualization. It can be used as an aid in visualization of the subthalamic nuclei (STN). Typical users are medical professionals including surgeons, neurologists and radiologists.

Technology

SIS Software uses machine learning and image processing algorithms to import MRI and CT imaging sets, segment anatomical structures, perform image fusion, and generate 3D patient-specific anatomical models to aid in surgical planning. It features enhanced MR to CT registration methodologies and image processing to accommodate CT images with gantry tilt. The software enables both automated and manual tools for segmentation and fusion and supports 2D/3D visualization and intraoperative planning.

Performance

Software verification and validation testing repeated with the modified software confirmed it functions as specified and similarly to the previously cleared version. MRI to CT registration testing showed error within acceptance criteria, comparable to the predicate device. Testing of CT image processing with gantry tilt demonstrated that cropping and segmentation performance were unaffected compared to the predicate. These tests support that the software is as safe and effective as the predicate.
