FDA-cleared profile

MuscleView

Springbok, Inc.

Automatically segment lower-extremity muscle and bone structures from MRI in patients aged 18 years and older and provide derived muscle volume, bone volume, intramuscular fat percentage, and left/right asymmetry metrics; the output is not direct disease diagnosis.

Evidence status: each field shows source quality, applicability, and review date. Research pending, information not established in reviewed sources, and vendor documentation pending are distinct outcomes.

Clinical fit

What this tool is for

Start with the authorized purpose, then verify how it fits your service line and reading workflow.

Exact purpose
Automatically segment lower-extremity muscle and bone structures from MRI in patients aged 18 years and older and provide derived muscle volume, bone volume, intramuscular fat percentage, and left/right asymmetry metrics; the output is not direct disease diagnosis.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Intended users
Physicians trained to interpret MRI images.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Care setting and population
Private-network workstation with an advanced GPU running the service and a web-based interface; the specific clinical facility type is not stated.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Workflow role
Post-acquisition MRI preprocessing and 3D volume segmentation followed by interactive visualization and metric review; segmentation results must be reviewed and edited using appropriate software.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Required input
MRI DICOM data from one or more study series, preprocessed into continuous 3D volumes for lower-extremity musculoskeletal segmentation; validation covered multiple manufacturers, field strengths, series settings, and resolutions.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Output and human action
Automatic segmentations and an interactive 3D model viewer for the supported muscles and bones, with segmentation volume, muscle volume, bone volume, intramuscular fat infiltration or percentage, limb-side asymmetry, and other derived metrics.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Limitations
The labeled scope is patients aged 18 years and older and excludes patients with tumors in the lower limb. Outputs are only segmentation and derived metrics, cannot directly guide disease diagnosis, and require physician review and editing with appropriate software. The FDA summary does not establish PACS, RIS, EHR, or cloud deployment.

Regulatory identity

FDA record and catalog context

The FDA listing establishes the regulatory identity. It does not by itself establish local workflow fit, pricing, security, or performance in your environment.

Implementation

Questions for IT, informatics, and operations

Use these fields to structure a vendor demo, security review, and implementation estimate.

Integration
Processes DICOM data on a private-network GPU workstation as a service and uses a web-based interface for data transfer, automated segmentation, and visualization. Specific hospital-system interfaces and local compatibility are not established.

Deployment and data flow
On-cloud
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 Checked 2026-09-08

Current training prerequisites, competency checks, and support commitments for the exact configuration require vendor confirmation.

Monitoring and change control
Vendor documentation pending
Vendor confirmation Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08

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

ACR exact-submission catalog context

ACR AI Central provides an exact-submission model card for MuscleView; 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.

Evidence summary
FDA AI validation used 1,658 training scans from 1,294 subjects and 148 validation scans from 148 subjects; 70% of validation data came from 19 new sites and the validation set covered Siemens, GE, Philips, Canon, and other or unknown MRI systems. Expert manual segmentations were the reference standard. Each of the 80 supported structures and reported healthy, patient, manufacturer, age, and biologic-sex subgroups passed prespecified acceptance criteria using either Dice similarity coefficient or volume difference relative to interobserver variability. The reviewed text does not provide a single overall sensitivity, specificity, AUC, or one pooled numeric result.

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 K241331. 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.
