3D ultrasound reconstruction with physician-reviewed thyroid and nodule quantification and sonographic feature visualization.
Evidence status: each field shows source quality, applicability, and review date. Research pending, information not established in reviewed sources, and vendor documentation pending are distinct outcomes.
Clinical fit
What this tool is for
Start with the authorized purpose, then verify how it fits your service line and reading workflow.
- Exact purpose
- 3D ultrasound reconstruction with physician-reviewed thyroid and nodule quantification and sonographic feature visualization.
- Intended users
- Trained healthcare professionals performing or interpreting thyroid ultrasound examinations.
- Care setting and population
- Ultrasound examination settings using a compatible GE Healthcare ultrasound system.
- Workflow role
- Adjunct 3D reconstruction and quantitative visualization tool; the user reviews the reconstructed volume, annotations and report.
- Required input
- 2D ultrasound images plus PIUR sensor position data captured while the transducer is moved perpendicular to the thyroid structure.
- Output and human action
- An unlimited-length 3D volume intended to cover a thyroid lobe, user-selected or algorithm-suggested lobe and nodule volumes, sonographic feature views, annotated screenshots, reports and DICOM Secondary Capture objects.
- Limitations
- The reviewed labeling requires compatible GE ultrasound equipment and trained use; manual ACR TI-RADS assessment and clinician review remain part of the workflow.
Regulatory identity
FDA record and catalog context
The FDA listing establishes the regulatory identity. It does not by itself establish local workflow fit, pricing, security, or performance in your environment.
Implementation
Questions for IT, informatics, and operations
Use these fields to structure a vendor demo, security review, and implementation estimate.
- Integration
- The exact submission describes DICOM Secondary Capture storage objects and report outputs; the current PIUR resource set publishes DICOM and user-manual resources, but current site-specific integration was not established.
- Deployment and data flow
- FDA materials describe a Windows-based application running directly on compatible GE LOGIQ E10, E10s and Fortis systems.
- Security and privacy
- Vendor documentation pending
No current exact-release security attestation was established.
- Training and support
- PIUR publishes user manuals and training resources for the inside family; the exact K250484 onboarding or competency package was not established.
- Monitoring and change control
- Vendor documentation pending
Local acceptance testing, production monitoring, drift review, update control, and incident escalation require a current vendor and site-specific governance plan.
GE system installation
The current family manual describes installation on compatible GE ultrasound systems and use of official brackets; exact K250484 installation steps are not established from that family manual.

Performance evidence
Metrics are shown only when they are tied to a source, endpoint, population, and tested product version.
- Evidence summary
- The FDA summary establishes the reconstruction workflow and DICOM/report outputs; it does not provide a numeric clinical performance endpoint in the reviewed summary.
- Reported sensitivity
- Research pending
This field has not been curated yet.
- Reported specificity
- Research pending
This field has not been curated yet.
No contextualized exact-version metric has completed evidence review. Regulatory-document values, when available, are shown above with their limitations.

The reviewed FDA summary describes DICOM compliance and performance validation without a public numeric endpoint.
Economics and lifecycle
Budget and ongoing governance
These are common procurement questions; unknown values remain visible until a source supports them.
- Pricing and total cost
- Not established in reviewed sources
No numeric price was published in the reviewed sources.
- Reimbursement and coding
- Research pending
Determine whether any product-specific CPT/HCPCS pathway exists and separate it from billing for the underlying imaging service.
Safety and lifecycle
Postmarket record
Recall and adverse-event records are shown only after product matching. Adverse-event reports do not establish incidence or causality.
- Postmarket safety review
- Not established in reviewed sources
No native submission-identifier match was found in the checked openFDA radiology recall snapshot. Product-name, manufacturer, and adverse-event searches remain necessary; this does not establish that no recall or safety report exists.
Buyer worksheet
Open questions to take to the vendor
- Verify security and privacy controls: No current exact-release security attestation was established.
- Verify pricing and total cost: No numeric price was published in the reviewed sources.
- Verify reimbursement and coding relevance: Determine whether any product-specific CPT/HCPCS pathway exists and separate it from billing for the underlying imaging service.
- Verify local validation and lifecycle monitoring: Local acceptance testing, production monitoring, drift review, update control, and incident escalation require a current vendor and site-specific governance plan.
- Verify recalls and postmarket safety signals: No native submission-identifier match was found in the checked openFDA radiology recall snapshot. Product-name, manufacturer, and adverse-event searches remain necessary; this does not establish that no recall or safety report exists.
