Premarket evidence — what FDA accepted
source quote (p.5)
“ART-Plan is a software application intended to display and visualize 3D multi-modal medical image data. The user may import, define, display, transform and store DICOM3.0 compliant datasets (including regions of interest structures). These images, contours and objects can subsequently be exported/distributed within the system, across computer networks and/or to radiation treatment planning systems. Supported modalities include CT, PET-CT, CBCT, 4D-CT and MR images. ART-Plan supports AI-based contouring on CT and MR images and offers semi-automatic and manual tools for segmentation.”

Postmarket — what happened after clearance
- re_clearance
The FDA AI/ML device list shows a newer 510(k) K232479 (decision 2023-12-22) from TheraPanacea for a matching device line ("ART-Plan") — a new clearance for the same line is a change event.
first seen 2026-07-08 · k_number:K232479
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.
