No
The document describes image processing and quantitative analysis techniques, but there is no mention of AI or ML algorithms being used. The focus is on corrections for physical effects in SPECT imaging and standard quantitative analysis.
No
The device is a software tool used for image processing, analysis, and management in medical imaging for purposes like diagnosis, treatment planning, and evaluation, rather than directly applying therapy.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that "MIM assists in the following indications: ... Registration, fusion display, and review of medical images for diagnosis, treatment planning." This directly indicates its role as a diagnostic device.
Yes
The device description explicitly states that MIM - SPECTRA Quant is a "feature of MIM" and "operates on both Windows and Mac computer systems," indicating it is a software application. The functions described are all software-based image processing and analysis tasks. There is no mention of accompanying hardware components that are part of the device itself.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that this software is used to process and analyze medical images obtained from various imaging modalities (CT, MRI, SPECT, PET, etc.). These are images of the body itself, not specimens taken from the body (like blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.).
- The functions described are related to image processing, analysis, and management. The software performs tasks like image registration, fusion, quantitative analysis of images, contouring, and dose calculation based on imaging data. These are all activities related to interpreting and utilizing medical images.
While the software provides quantitative results (like Bq/ml or quantitative error), these results are derived from the analysis of medical images, not from testing biological samples.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of medical image processing and analysis software, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Validation testing with MIM - SPECTRA Quant was performed by board certified clinicians. In all cases, the software passed its performance requirements and met specifications. Additionally, clinicians using MIM – SPECTRA Quant performed validation in comparison to independently implemented, industry-standard solutions. It was demonstrated that MIM software, when used according to operating instructions, can be used safely and effectively.
Furthermore, MIM Software Inc. has conducted performance and integration testing on MIM – SPECTRA Quant software. Standard quality control phantoms, a Liver phantom, and simulated phantoms based on the NEMA IEC Body Phantom were used for verification testing. All tests were performed using standard clinical acquisition and reconstruction protocols.
The accuracy of corrections for attenuation, scatter, and resolution effects were verified in physical and simulated phantoms as well as with clinical data. In all cases, the software passed its performance requirements and met specifications. All reconstructions of clinical data were rated as acceptable for clinical use by the qualified Nuclear Medicine professionals.
The absolute quantitative accuracy of MIM – SPECTRA Quant was verified in physical and simulated phantoms for various isotope-collimator combinations. The acceptance criterion for MIM – SPECTRA Quant is a quantitative error of smaller or equal to 10% in regions that are large enough not to be affected by the partial volume effect. The error in reconstructed activity concentration for these regions was less than 5% which was better than the predefined requirements. In small targets the partial volume effect lowers the accuracy as expected and was similar to the accuracy of the predicate device for these regions.
The testing for half-time or half-dose imaging demonstrated that OSEM with corrections for attenuation, scatter, and resolution met the requirements of similar or superior image quality metrics compared to a full-time or full-dose FBP reconstruction.
In conclusion, MIM Software Inc. has conducted performance testing on the MIM – SPECTRA Quant software. In all cases, the software passed its performance requirements and met specifications.

Intended Use
MIM software is intended for trained medical professionals including, but not limited to, radiologists, oncologists, physicians, medical technologists, dosimetrists and physicists.
MIM is a medical image and information management system that is intended to receive, transmit, store, retrieve, display, print and process digital medical images, as well as create, display and print reports from those images. The medical modalities of these medical imaging systems include, but are not limited to, CT, MRI, CR, DX, MG, US, SPECT, PET and XA as supported by ACR/NEMA DICOM 3.0.
MIM provides the user with the means to display, register and fuse medical images from multiple modalities. Additionally, it evaluates cardiac left ventricular function and perfusion, including left ventricular end-diastolic volume, end-systolic volume, and ejection fraction.
The Region of Interest (ROI) feature reduces the time necessary for the user to define objects in medical image volumes by providing an initial definition of object contours. The objects include, but are not limited to, tumors and normal tissues.

The logo consists of two overlapping rounded squares, one gray and one red, with a white circle cut out of the red square. To the right of the squares is the text "mim" in a bold, sans-serif font, with the word "SOFTWARE" underneath in a smaller font.
MIM provides tools to quickly create, transform, and modify contours for applications including, but not limited to, quantitative analysis, aiding adaptive therapy, transferring contours to radiation therapy treatment planning systems and archiving contours for patient follow-up and management.
MIM aids in the assessment of PET/SPECT brain scans. It provides automated quantitative and statistical analysis by automatically registering PET/SPECT brain scans to a standard template and comparing intensity values to a reference database or to other PET/SPECT scans on a voxel by voxel basis, within stereotactic surface projections or standardized regions of interest.
MIM allows the dose distribution of an implant to be individually shaped for each patient and is a general purpose brachytherapy planning system used for prospective and confirmation dose calculations for patients undergoing a course of brachytherapy using permanent implants of various radioisotopes.
For Yttrium-90 (Y90) microspheres, MIM should only be used for the retrospective determination of dose and should not be used to prospectively calculate dose for the case where there is a need for retreatment using Y90 microspheres.
