Hepatica (Hepatica v1) is a post-processing medical device software that presents quantified metrics which may contribute to the assessment of a patient’s liver health.Hepatica (Hepatica v1) uses image visualisation and analysis tools to process DICOM 3.0 compliant magnetic resonance image datasets to produce semi-automatic segmented 3D models of the liver based on the work of Couinaud and the Brisbane 2000 terminology. For each identified Couinaud segment, volumetric data is determined and reported. Hepatica (Hepatica v1) may also report iron corrected-T1 (cT1) and PDFF calculated using the IDEAL methodfrom multi-slice acquisitions, on a per segment basis, over the whole liver. Both metrics present numerical values of different fundamental liver tissue characteristics that can be used as measures of liver tissue health.Hepatica (Hepatica v1) provides trained clinicians with additional information to evaluate the volume and health of a patient’s liver on a segmental basis. It is not intended to replace the established procedures for the assessment of a patient’s liver health. However, information gathered through existing diagnostic tests, clinical evaluation of the patient, as well Hepatica(Hepatica v1), may support surgical decision making.
A software application intended to facilitate management, distribution, and/or viewing of radiological digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) image data; it is not intended for pathological image interpretation (i.e., not intended to detect and localize suspected abnormalities). It may be intended to facilitate image management (e.g., viewing, communication, printing, recording/ disc burning) and/or image manipulation and quantification (e.g., non-interpretive graphical overlays).
