Intended Use

System intended for use by Nuclear Medicine or Radiology practitioners and referring physicians for processing, display, archiving, printing, reporting, and networking of nuclear medicine imaging data from planar and tomographic scans, sometimes coupled with CT or MR scans, to assist clinical diagnostic purposes across multiple applications including dopaminergic neuron terminal loss, pulmonary diseases, brain disorders, coronary artery disease, bone metastases, liver therapy planning, and radiation dose monitoring.

Technology

The system provides digital processing, review, and reporting of nuclear medicine images including data display, quality control, image manipulation and quantification analysis, transfer, storage, and printing. It operates on dedicated workstations or in client-server configurations. It introduces new applications Q.Thera AI for radiation dose calculations following MIRD and ICRP guidelines, and Generate Planar for producing 2D planar images derived from 3D SPECT images. Core functions include manual and automatic segmentation, image registration, and quantification for diagnostic support.

Performance

The device underwent extensive design control testing including software verification and validation per relevant standards NEMA PS3.1-3.20 and IEC62304. Bench testing demonstrated the correctness of radiation dose calculations and similarity of generated planar images from SPECT-only versus SPECT-CT studies. Clinical studies were not required; bench testing using representative clinical datasets sufficed to confirm safety and effectiveness. Risk management and quality system usage identified no new safety concerns.
