The description focuses on quantitative image analysis, registration, segmentation, and measurement tools, which are standard image processing techniques and do not explicitly mention or imply the use of AI or ML algorithms.
No
The device is a software for image analysis and viewing, intended to assist radiologists in assessing breast abnormalities. It does not directly provide therapy or interact therapeutically with the patient.
Yes
This device is a diagnostic device because its intended use is to assist radiologists in the assessment and characterization of breast abnormalities, and it provides information that "may be useful for screening and diagnosis." It aids in the diagnosis of breast lesions by providing quantitative analysis of MR image data.
Yes
The device description explicitly states "QuantX is a software program" and details its functions related to image analysis and viewing. There is no mention of accompanying hardware components that are part of the device itself. While it interacts with third-party acquisition devices and display monitors, the device being cleared is the software.
Based on the provided information, this device is NOT an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs analyze biological samples: The core function of an IVD is to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, tissue, etc., to provide information about a person's health.
- QuantX analyzes medical images: QuantX's primary function is to process and analyze medical images (MR, ultrasound, mammography) of the breast. It does not interact with or analyze biological samples.
- The intended use is image analysis for diagnosis: The intended use clearly states that QuantX is a "quantitative image analysis software device used to assist radiologists in the assessment and characterization of breast abnormalities using MR image data." This is consistent with medical imaging software, not an IVD.
While the information derived from the image analysis can be used to assist in diagnosis, the device itself is not performing a test on a biological sample. It's a tool for interpreting visual data.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
QuantX is a quantitative image analysis software device used to assist radiologists in the assessment and characterization of breast abnormalities using MR image data. The software automatically registers images, and segments and analyzes user-selected regions of interest (ROI). QuantX extracts image data from the ROI to provide volumetric and surface area analysis. These imaging features are then displayed to the user in a dedicated analysis panel on the display monitor.
When interpreted by a skilled physician, this device provides information that may be useful for screening and diagnosis. Patient management decisions should not be made based solely on the results of QuantX analysis.
QuantX may also be used as an image viewer of multi-modality digital images, including ultrasound and mammography. The software also includes tools that allow users to measure and document images, and output in a structured report.
Limitations: QuantX is not intended for primary interpretation of digital mammography images.

Device Description
QuantX is a software program that analyzes patient breast images, and is designed to aid radiologists in the characterization of lesions. After MR images are acquired from a third-party acquisition device, they can be loaded into the QuantX database manually, or automatically if connected to a DICOM-compatible device. Users then select and load the patient case to use the QuantX software tools in the examination of the images. Different types of MR sequences (T1, DCE, T2, DWI, etc.) can be viewed at the same time as mammography or ultrasound images from the same patient.
A variety of viewing tools are available to users. The MR images can be examined under different image planes (axial, sagittal, and coronal) as well as different image time points and slices. Users can use keyboard shortcuts or a scrolling mechanism to navigate through MR image slices. Colored axes serve as slice location markers for ease of pinpointing regions of interest (ROI). Images can be panned, changed in contrast, zoomed in or out. and measured. The Colormap feature visualizes contrast uptake (enhancement) studies, and a time intensity curve can be viewed for any location on the MR image.
QuantX includes image registration, and automated segmentation and analysis functions, based on a seed point indicated by the user. Users can select a ROI manually from the MR image, or use the automatic segmentation tool to obtain and accept a ROI, for input to the QuantX analytics.
The QuantX analytics display the QI Most Enhancing Curve, volume and surface area of the specified region. A user experienced with the significance of such data will be able to view and interpret this additional information during the diagnosis of breast lesions.
