Intended Use

The software performs digital enhancement of a radiographic image generated by an x-ray device. The software can be used to process adult and pediatric x-ray images. This excludes mammography applications.

Technology

Eclipse II with Smart Noise Cancellation is an image processing software that uses a convolutional neural network (CNN) to perform advanced noise reduction on digital radiography images prior to the typical image enhancement processing. It processes images from Computed Radiography (CR) and Direct Radiography (DR) detectors, improving image quality by suppressing noise while maintaining diagnostic features.

Performance

Non-clinical testing included analysis of difference images and ideal observer evaluation with simulated lesions, confirming preserved or improved detectability and absence of residual image artifacts. Clinical evaluation by radiologists showed improved diagnostic image quality across a range of exam types and exposure levels. The modifications demonstrated no new safety or effectiveness concerns compared to the predicate.
