No
The description focuses on image processing, visualization, and analysis techniques like constrained spherical deconvolution and correlation mapping, which are not inherently AI/ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related terms like deep learning or neural networks.
No.
The software is intended for display, processing, and analysis of medical images for diagnostic purposes, not for providing therapy or treatment.
Yes
Explanation: The device processes MRI sequences into 3D maps and generates fMRI correlation maps for medical professionals to use in imaging review, manipulation, planning, and visualization, which are all activities associated with diagnosing patient conditions.
Yes
The device description explicitly states "Quicktome is a software-only, cloud-deployed, image processing package".
Based on the provided information, this device is NOT an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The Quicktome Software Suite processes medical images (MRI scans) and other healthcare data. It does not analyze biological samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
- The intended use and device description clearly focus on image processing, visualization, and analysis. The software helps medical professionals interpret existing imaging data for planning and assessment purposes.
- There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.
The Quicktome Software Suite is a medical image processing and analysis software, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Quicktome Software Suite is composed of a set of modules intended for display of medical images and other healthcare data. It includes functions for image review, image manipulation, basic measurements, planning, 3D visualization (MPR reconstructions and 3D volume rendering) and display of BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) resting-state MRI scan studies.
Modules are available for image processing, atlas-assisted visualization, resting state analysis and visualization, and target export creation, where an output can be generated for use by a system capable of reading DICOM image sets.
Quicktome is indicated for use in the processing of diffusion-weighted MRI sequences into 3D maps that represent whitematter tracts based on constrained spherical deconvolution methods and for the use of said maps to select and create exports. Quicktome can generate motor, language, and vision resting state fMRI correlation maps using task-analogous seeds.

Device Description
Quicktome is a software-only, cloud-deployed, image processing package which can be used to perform DICOM image viewing, image processing, and analysis.
Quicktome can receive ("import") DICOM images from picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), acquired with MRI, including Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) sequences, T1, T2, BOLD, and FLAIR images. Quicktome can also receive Resting State functional MRI (rs-fMRI) blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) datasets. Once received, Quicktome removes protected health information (PHI) and links the dataset to an encryption key, which is then used to relink the data back to the patient when the data is exported to hospital PACS or other DICOM device.
The software provides a workflow for a clinician to:
- . Select an image for planning and visualization,
- Validate image quality,
- Explore the available anatomical regions, network templates, tractography bundles, and ● parcellations,
- . Select regions of interest,
- . Display resting state fMRI (BOLD) correlation maps using task-analogous seeds for Motor, Vision and Language networks, and
- . Export black and white and color DICOMs for use in systems that can view DICOM images.

Summary of Performance Studies
Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by the Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices (May 11, 2005).
The software was developed in compliance with the requirements of IEC 62304, IEC 62366, ISO 14971, and NEMA PS 3.1-3.20.
All verification and validation activities required per the verification and validation plan were performed using cloud-based deployment of the software in production-equivalent state.
Software Verification
- . Testing was conducted on software units and modules. System verification was performed to confirm implementation of functional requirements.
- . Cloud infrastructure verification was performed to ensure suitability of cloud components and services.
- . Algorithm performance verification was conducted to ensure computations were sound.
Software Validation
- . Summative usability evaluation and design validation were performed by representative users.
- . Performance evaluations were conducted for the BOLD processing pipeline. Evaluations included protocols for motion and noise correction, skull stripping, co-registration of anatomical scans and BOLD series, physiological noise correction, and correlation matrix computation.
- . The resting-state fMRI correlation maps generated by Quicktome were compared to taskbased fMRI activation maps for a range of pre-specified seeds using analytical and expert clinician evaluation.
- o Analytical evaluation demonstrated that activation in a task-based activation map is represented within the bounds of a correlation map generated with restingstate data when using a range of pre-specified seeds and thresholds, supporting substantial equivalence of the two maps.
- Clinicians rated the networks as comparable per the pre-specified acceptance o criteria to task-based fMRI maps for the clinical intended uses of presurgical planning and post-surgical assessment.
