Authorized purpose: Assist appropriately trained medical specialists by providing the maximum abdominal aortic axial diameter from contrast-enhanced CT exams that include the abdominal aorta in adults or transitional adolescents aged 18 years and older; evaluate normal and aneurysmal abdominal aortas, not postoperative aortas, and do not use results alone for clinical decisions.
Evidence status: each field states its source quality, applicability, and review date. Research pending, information not established, and vendor documentation pending remain distinct outcomes.

Authorized purpose: Assist appropriately trained medical specialists by providing the maximum abdominal aortic axial diameter from contrast-enhanced CT exams that include the abdominal aorta in adults or transitional adolescents aged 18 years and older; evaluate normal and aneurysmal abdominal aortas, not postoperative aortas, and do not use results alone for clinical decisions.
Overview status: Source-reviewed overview
What does this software do?Authorized purpose: Assist appropriately trained medical specialists by providing the maximum abdominal aortic axial diameter from contrast-enhanced CT exams that include the abdominal aorta in adults or transitional adolescents aged 18 years and older; evaluate normal and aneurysmal abdominal aortas, not postoperative aortas, and do not use results alone for clinical decisions.
Which images or clinical context are in scope?Modality: CT/CTA Anatomy or clinical context: Abdominal aorta Input: Filtered DICOM images from contrast-enhanced CT exams including the abdominal aorta, in adults or transitional adolescents aged 18 years and older; relevant series are processed chronologically.
Who uses it?Intended users: Appropriately trained medical specialists
What does the software produce?Output: A preview image annotated with the maximum axial abdominal-aortic diameter measurement, forwarded to an image-review application and PACS; the original unmarked series remains available, and the preview is labeled unofficial, not final, and for review by a radiologist.
What is its most important limitation?Key limitation: Not intended to evaluate postoperative aortas. The measurement is unofficial and not final, must be reviewed against full images and other clinical information by a radiologist, and must not be used standalone or to preclude clinical assessment; final approved measurements come from the official radiology report. The FDA packet does not establish a specific current PACS, RIS, EHR, or deployment configuration beyond the described cloud-server workflow.
Clinical takeaway
Clinical role: Assist appropriately trained medical specialists by providing the maximum abdominal aortic axial diameter from contrast-enhanced CT exams that include the abdominal aorta in adults or transitional adolescents aged 18 years and older; evaluate normal and aneurysmal abdominal aortas, not postoperative aortas, and do not use results alone for clinical decisions.
Evidence takeaway
Evidence from the reviewed source record: FDA K230534 reports a retrospective, blinded, multicenter study of 160 CT cases from six US academic and community clinical sites, with ground truth determined by three US board-certified radiologists. The primary endpoint mean absolute error was 1.95 mm (95% CI 1.59-2.32 mm) and met the prespecified performance goal. The validation cohort mean age was 66.8 years, and scanner counts were Siemens 52, GE 46, Philips 39, and Toshiba 23.

Exact purpose
Assist appropriately trained medical specialists by providing the maximum abdominal aortic axial diameter from contrast-enhanced CT exams that include the abdominal aorta in adults or transitional adolescents aged 18 years and older; evaluate normal and aneurysmal abdominal aortas, not postoperative aortas, and do not use results alone for clinical decisions.
Parallel measurement/quantification adjunct that provides a preview of the maximum axial abdominal-aortic diameter for PACS review; the radiologist reviews full images and the official report remains final.

The FDA packet does not establish a specific current PACS, RIS, EHR, or deployment configuration beyond the described cloud-server workflow.
The FDA listing establishes the regulatory identity. It does not by itself establish local workflow fit, pricing, security, or performance in your environment.
Use these fields to structure a vendor demo, security review, and implementation estimate.
Integration
The device runs as a Linux-based server in a cloud environment, receives filtered DICOM images, transfers analysis to an image-review desktop application, and forwards results to a PACS destination for medical-specialist review. Exact PACS products, interfaces, versions, hosting region, and current data flow are not established.
Deployment category preserved from the prior exact-submission review; hosting region, data flow, and current commercial configuration still require vendor confirmation.
ACR AI Central provides an exact-submission model card for BriefCase-Quantification; FDA labeling remains controlling for clinical use, limitations, and performance.
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.
