Autoplaque

Cedars-Sinai Medical Center: AIM

Authorized purpose: Autoplaque is intended to provide an optimized non-invasive application to analyze coronary anatomy and pathology and aid in determining treatment paths from a set of Computed Tomography (CT) Angiographic images. Autoplaque is a workstation-based post processing application. It is a non-invasive diagnostic reading software intended for use by cardiologists and radiologists as an interactive tool for viewing and analyzing cardiac CT data for determining the presence and extent of coronary plaques and luminal stenoses. The software is not intended to replace the skill and judgment of a qualified medical practitioner and should only be used by people who have been appropriately trained in the software's functions, capabilities and limitations. Users should be aware that certain views make use of interpolated data. This is data that is created by the software based on the original data set. Interpolated data may give the appearance of healthy tissue in situations where pathology that is near or smaller than the scanning resolution may be present. Autoplaque must be installed on a suitable commercial computer platform. It is the user's responsibility to ensure the monitor quality and ambient light conditions are consistent with the clinical applications. Typical users of Autoplaque are trained medical professionals, including but not limited to radiologists, clinicians, technologists, and others.

Evidence status: each field states its source quality, applicability, and review date. Research pending, information not established, and vendor documentation pending remain distinct outcomes.

Evidence takeaway

Evidence from the reviewed source record: Software verification and validation were conducted on the subject device to demonstrate that the subject device meets specifications and works as intended. In addition, clinical validation studies were undertaken to verify and validate that Autoplaque 3.0 performs as intended. Performance data was collected on a data set of clinically indicated coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) images from multiple U.S. sites; the patient population consisted of 201 patients. Performance data was collected on clinically indicated coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) images from multiple non-U.S. external sites; the patient population consisted of 175 patients. To establish that the subject device provides clinical performance for total plaque volume, calcified plaque volume, non-calcified plaque volume, and diameter stenosis that is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, a total of 30 lesions (from 27 patients) throughout the coronary artery tree were analyzed using both the subject and predicate devices.

Required input
Autoplaque is intended to provide an optimized non-invasive application to analyze coronary anatomy and pathology and aid in determining treatment paths from a set of Computed Tomography (CT) Angiographic images. Autoplaque 3.0 allows for standardized characterization of plaque and stenosis from DICOM image data (loaded from the local computer hard drive).

The exact packet supports CT angiographic images and DICOM image data loaded from the local computer hard drive; the current generic protocol and quality wording is not retained.

Output and human action
The AI model outputs automated vessel, plaque, and lumen segmentation with quantitative measurements including: total plaque volume, calcified plaque volume (CP volume), non-calcified plaque volume (NCP volume), low-density non-calcified plaque volume (LD-NCP volume), plaque burden metrics, plaque composition metrics, diameter stenosis, area stenosis, remodeling index, plaque length, contrast density difference, minimal luminal diameter (MLD), minimum luminal area (MLA), vessel profile measurements, and lumen profile measurements. Results are displayed in MPR, curved MPR, and straightened MPR views.
