What FDA cleared it for
The Indications for Use statement, verbatim, from the decision document.
Hepatic VCAR is a CT image analysis software package that allows the analysis and visualization of Liver CT data derived from DICOM 3.0 compliant CT scans. Hepatic VCAR is designed for the purpose of assessing liver morphology, including liver lesion, provided the lesion has different CT appearance from surrounding liver tissue; and its change over time through automated tools for liver, liver lobe, liver segments and liver lesion segmentation and measurement. It is intended for use by clinicians to process, review, archive, print and distribute liver CT studies. This software will assist the user by providing initial 3D segmentation, vessel analysis, visualization, and quantitative analysis of liver anatomy. The user has the ability to adjust the contour and confirm the final segmentation.
