Premarket evidence — what FDA accepted
source quote (p.5)
“NeuroQuant is a fully automated MR imaging post-processing medical device software that provides automatic labeling, visualization and volumetric quantification of brain structures and lesions from a set of MR images and returns segmented images and morphometric reports.”
source quote (p.5)
“The NeuroQuant processing architecture includes a proprietary automated internal pipeline that performs artifact correction, atlas-based segmentation, volume calculation and report generation. Automatic segmentation and quantification of brain structures using a dynamic probabilistic neuroanatomical atlas, with age and gender specificity, based on the MR image intensity”
source quote (p.5)
“Additionally, automated safety measures include automated quality control functions, such as tissue contrast check, atlas alignment check and scan protocol verification, which validate that the imaging protocols adhere to system requirements.”
Validation studies (1)
Standalone
sample size not stated
endpoints: segmentation accuracy using Dice's coefficient metric; brain structure segmentation reproducibility using percentage absolute volume differences; lesion segmentation reproducibility using mean absolute lesion volume difference and mean percentage lesion absolute volume difference
Reported performance (3 observations)
source quote (p.7)
“For major subcortical brain structures Dice's coefficients are in the range of 80-90%”
source quote (p.7)
“and for major cortical regions are in the range of 75-85%.”
source quote (p.7)
“For lesion segmentations evaluated separately using 3D T1 and T2 FLAIR MRI scan pairs of subjects with brain lesions, Dice's coefficient exceeds 80%.”
