MSKai

MSKai

Assist physicians in reviewing previously acquired lumbar-spine MRI by providing user-confirmed anatomy identification, segmentation, labeling, measurements, and reporting; it is not a diagnostic device.

Evidence status: each field states its source quality, applicability, and review date. Research pending, information not established, and vendor documentation pending remain distinct outcomes.

  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-08
Output and human action
Qualitative image viewing; segmentation and labels for lumbar-spine structures; quantitative measurements such as disc protrusion, intervertebral angles, vertebral-body and disc heights, anterolisthesis/retrolisthesis, lordotic angle, dural-sac diameter, and report export. User-confirmed settings and measurements control storage and reporting.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-08
Limitations
Not for diagnosis or treatment recommendation; segmentations are not final outputs; the user must confirm or reject measurements, inspect labels and segmentations, and review and approve reports. Only the stated T2-weighted DICOM lumbar-spine inputs and labeled patient restrictions are supported.

Deployment and data flow
On-premise
  • Public source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-08-13

Deployment category preserved from the prior exact-submission review; hosting region, data flow, and current commercial configuration still require vendor confirmation.

Security and privacy
Vendor documentation pending
  • Vendor confirmation
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-08

Exact-release security controls, data retention, hosting boundaries, and scoped assurance documentation require vendor confirmation.

Training and support
Vendor documentation pending
  • Vendor confirmation
  • Exact FDA submission

Current drift, quality, uptime, alert, escalation, and incident-response commitments for the exact configuration require vendor confirmation.

Input or output interoperability

DICOM is explicitly referenced in the described input, output, or workflow.

exact submission · checked 2026-09-01

The model card does not establish every supported DICOM object, transfer method, or local interface.

ACR exact-submission catalog context

ACR AI Central provides an exact-submission model card for MSKai; FDA labeling remains controlling for clinical use, limitations, and performance.

Evidence

Performance evidence

Metrics are shown only when they are tied to a source, endpoint, population, and tested product version. Candidate literature without exact product and version linkage is not shown as product evidence.

Evidence summary
FDA K240793 reports three independent data sets: 255 patient images for ground-truth development, 575 for pass/fail criteria, and 238 testing patients/studies from five U.S. sites on GE, Philips, and Siemens 1.5T/3.0T MRI systems. Four independent experts compared unedited software outputs with expert ground truth. Endpoints were structure segmentation mean Dice/MDC and measurement mean absolute error (MAE); listed mean Dice values ranged from 0.911 to 0.993 with structure-specific 95% CIs, and measurement MAEs were below structure-specific limits. The packet states no human clinical study was conducted for premarket clearance.

Safety and lifecycle

Postmarket record

Recall and adverse-event records are shown only after product matching. Adverse-event reports do not establish incidence or causality.

Postmarket safety review
The exact-identifier FDA recall query returned no native recall record for K240793. This limited result does not establish absence of recalls or other safety information and does not cover later versions, family records, MAUDE reports, corrections, or field notices.

Exact-submission ACR model-card fields were normalized under the current provenance rules; vendor and independent-study confirmation remain distinct. Exact FDA scope controls clinical claims. ACR provides bounded exact-submission catalog context. Candidate literature metadata remains a discovery queue until full-text identity, endpoint, population, and version review is completed. Automated exact-name discovery found 0 PubMed and 0 ClinicalTrials.gov candidate records. Candidates require human product and version matching; zero candidates is not evidence that no studies exist. Native FDA recall identifiers produced 0 postmarket candidate records; 0 have been reviewed (0 published, 0 rejected) and 0 remain unreviewed.

Candidate leads remain unpublished until a human confirms the exact product and tested version.
