Intended Use

OTOPLAN is intended to be used by otologists and neurotologists as a software interface allowing the display, segmentation, and transfer of medical image data from medical CT, MR, and XA imaging systems to investigate anatomy relevant for the preoperative planning and postoperative assessment of otological and neurotological procedures (e.g., cochlear implantation).

Technology

OTOPLAN is a standalone software platform (Software as a Medical Device) for medical image display, manual and automatic segmentation, measurement, 3D reconstruction, and image fusion. It supports CT, MR, and X-ray imaging modalities to enable analysis and planning of otological and neurotological surgeries. It includes new functions such as fluoroscopy and plain X-ray viewing, electrode contact identification, implant visualization, and advanced automatic 3D reconstructions using statistical shape modeling and geometry-based algorithms.

Performance

OTOPLAN underwent extensive software verification and validation, human factors and usability testing, and formal internal test standards. Performance validation included quantitative evaluation of image segmentation, thickness mapping, cochlear parameter estimation, and image fusion accuracy using clinical CT and MR datasets annotated by expert surgeons. The device met predefined acceptance criteria for accuracy and usability, demonstrating safety and effectiveness without requiring clinical studies.
