Premarket evidence — what FDA accepted
source quote (p.4)
“iQ-solutions™ is a software medical device intended for automatic annotation, visualization, and quantification of segmentable brain structures from a set of brain MRI scans.”
source quote (p.6)
“iQ-solutions™ analysis module consists of pre-trained convolutional neural networks (CNN) that have been verified and validated to segment the specific brain structures and create binary masks accordingly using the incoming head MRI scans.”

n=2,159 patients
endpoints: For classification modules, accuracy is higher than 0.9 to be accepted; for segmentation modules, DICE score is higher than 0.6 (for brains the DICE should be higher than 0.9) or R² is higher than 0.7 to be accepted; For modules that are lack of ground truths (scaling factor estimation, lesion inpainting, and substructure volume change estimation), the metrics are better than previously accepted results to be accepted; For all models, the manual acceptable rate should be higher than 80% to call it acceptable

Postmarket — what happened after clearance
Recall and MAUDE counts are product-code-level (reports aren't reliably attributable to one device). Signals are descriptive observables with sources — never a judgment that the device is unsafe or drifting. Snapshot 2026-07-08.
Reimbursement — how devices like this got paid
Not yet tracked — no payment pathway indexed for this clearance (the reimbursement corpus is a growing seed set).
