Neurophet SCALE PET

Neurophet., Inc.

Authorized purpose: Brain MRI/PET registration, segmentation and quantitative PET assessment

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

Product overview

Start with the essentials

Authorized purpose: Brain MRI/PET registration, segmentation and quantitative PET assessment

Overview status: Source-reviewed overview

Clinical takeaway

Clinical role: Brain MRI/PET registration, segmentation and quantitative PET assessment

Evidence takeaway

Evidence from the reviewed source record: Regulatory testing includes 64 manually referenced MRI segmentation cases, 50 MRI pairs for reproducibility, 74 paired PET/MRI cases for SUVR comparison and 176 amyloid-PET/MRI cases for Centiloid assessment. Separate family publications do not establish exact-version performance.

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.

Existing broad catalog category retained because the controlled vocabulary has no combined MRI/PET entry. The summary specifically requires 3D T1-weighted MRI and amyloid or FDG PET; this is not an unknown input modality.

Both PubMed records name SCALE PET and are retained as family contextual studies. NCT07417540 metadata identifies a Neurophet quantitative brain PET evaluation, but live registry returned a JavaScript shell; methods, outcomes and exact version remain unverified. The current discovery snapshot contains 2 PubMed and 1 ClinicalTrials.gov candidate records; its dated, count-matched human screening remains current. Unlinked candidates remain quarantined. Native FDA recall identifiers produced 0 postmarket candidate records; 0 have been reviewed (0 published, 0 rejected) and 0 remain unreviewed.

Candidate leads were screened against the exact product and tested version. Unlinked records remain quarantined.
