source quote (p.4)
“Quantitative Total Extensible Imaging (QTxI) is a software tool designed for use in medical imaging. It is stand-alone software which operates on Windows 7 and Windows 10.”
AlgorithmIdentifies Regions of Interest (ROIs) and performs ROI contouring allowing quantitative/statistical analysis of full or partial-body scans through registration to template space. It includes the Quantitative Total Bone Imaging (QTBI) module, which is designed to identify and measure hot-spots on PET scans and aids efficiency through automatic quantification of ROIs.
source quote (p.4)
“Additionally, it identifies Regions of Interest (ROIs) and performs ROI contouring allowing quantitative/statistical analysis of full or partial-body scans through registration to template space. QTxl is designed to support multiple image analysis modules. Each module is designed for a specific image analysis purpose. Currently QTxl includes only the Quantitative Total Bone Imaging (QTBI) module, which is designed to identify and measure hot-spots on PET scans. QTBI aids the efficiency of medical professionals through automatic quantification of ROls and changes in those ROIs, including 3D interactive rendering of the patient skeleton with highlighted Regions of Interest.”

Bench

sample size not stated

endpoints: Software verification testing that demonstrates the device meets product performance and functional specifications.; Software verification testing demonstrating that DICOM information collected with medical imaging systems and transmitted through manual or virtual input are captured, transmitted, and stored properly to maintain data integrity (e.g., no loss of data).

Reported performance (0 observations)

FDA source did not state a quantitative performance metric — non-reporting is itself the signal.

Each value carries its own analysis unit and task — never compare or pool across devices. Source: 510(k) summary PDF.

Recall and MAUDE counts are product-code-level (reports aren't reliably attributable to one device); a recall is shown as device-attributed only when the recall record itself lists this clearance number. 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).

Applicable FDA guidance — what the submission is measured against

FDA guidance documents and guiding principles applicable to 510(k) AI/ML devices in the Radiology panel. A curated reference index, not legal or regulatory advice — each item states its own status, and a draft is never binding.

Applicability is derived from the device's FDA advisory panel and pathway — cross-cutting guidances apply to every AI/ML device; panel-specific ones are flagged. Titles, dates, and links verified against fda.gov as of July 2026.
