Quantib Brain

Quantib BV

Automatic brain-structure labeling, visualization, volumetric quantification, and WMH-candidate assessment as complementary information for trained professionals evaluating MR brain images and preparing quantitative reports.

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

Workflow role
Automated brain segmentation and volumetric analysis with user review/editing of WMH candidates before validation and optional longitudinal comparison across exams.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-09
Required input
A 3D T1-weighted MR image, with an additional T2-weighted FLAIR MR image for WMH segmentation; contrast-enhanced 3DT1w scans are accepted for WMH processing but do not produce all measures.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-09
Output and human action
Segmentations, visualizations, and absolute/relative volumetric measurements for GM, WM, CSF, and ICV; visualization and quantification of WMH candidates; and longitudinal analysis for brain-tissue and WMH segmentations across multiple exams.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-09
Limitations
WMH candidates must be reviewed and, if needed, edited before validation. With contrast-enhanced 3DT1w plus T2w FLAIR, absolute and relative brain-tissue volumes and relative WMH volumes are not reported; absolute WMH measures and WMH longitudinal analysis are displayed. The device is a post-processing plugin for GE Advantage Workstation AW 4.7 or AW Server AWS 3.2 with Volume Viewer Apps 13.0 Ext 4 or higher.

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 brain-volumetry validation compared automatic segmentations with manual segmentations on 33 3DT1w MR images across vendors and representative scan settings: Dice was 0.78 +/- 0.05 for CSF, 0.84 +/- 0.02 for GM, 0.86 +/- 0.02 for WM, and 0.97 +/- 0.00 for ICV; absolute differences in relative volumes were 1.8 +/- 1.0, 2.7 +/- 2.0, and 2.8 +/- 1.9 percentage points for CSF, GM, and WM. A WMH set of 45 3DT1w images with corresponding T2w FLAIR produced average Dice 0.61 +/- 0.13; the relative-volume difference was 0.5 +/- 0.5 percentage points over 38 non-contrast cases. These are segmentation and volume endpoints, not sensitivity or specificity.

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 K173939. 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 1 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.
