QOCA® image Smart RT Contouring System

Quanta Computer Inc.

Authorized purpose: QOCA image Smart RT Contouring System automatically contours DICOM CT imaging data using deep-learning algorithms. Generated contours may be used as input to external-beam radiation-therapy planning and are output as RTSTRUCT objects for radiation-oncology departments.

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

Implementation

Questions for IT, informatics, and operations

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

Integration
The FDA indication describes DICOM CT input, RTSTRUCT output, and a web-based interface for settings, user settings, progress, and other functions; validate DICOM RT structure transfer, patient identity, review, acceptance, and rollback locally.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-04

The exact FDA material describes this input or interface boundary; local interoperability acceptance remains necessary.

Deployment and data flow
The FDA indication describes a web-based management interface but does not establish hosting, security, availability, retention, or site responsibility for the exact release.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-04

The exact FDA material describes this release-level deployment boundary; hosting, contracts, security, availability, and site configuration remain separate evidence.

Security and privacy
Not established in reviewed sources
  • Reviewed sources checked
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-04

Public materials reviewed for this exact release do not establish the complete security posture. Request data-flow, identity, audit, encryption, retention, remote-access, vulnerability-management, backup, and incident-response evidence.

Training and support
Only qualified radiation oncologists, medical physicists, dosimetrists, radiation therapists, and trained planning staff should operate or interpret this product. Local onboarding should cover the exact release, supported population, limitations, failure examples, escalation, downtime, and competency documentation.

Monitoring and change control
Monitor by exact hardware, software, model, algorithm, reconstruction, or configuration version; patient population; anatomy; protocol; operator; input quality; output edits or overrides; failed studies; repeat acquisition or rework; downstream impact; downtime; incidents; recalls; and updates. Track these product-specific limits: The FDA indication limits valid input to adult-patient DICOM images, states that the software does not automatically detect or contour lesions, and requires appropriate treatment-planning or interactive-contouring software to review, edit, and accept the contours.

Interoperability acceptance

The FDA indication describes DICOM CT input, RTSTRUCT output, and a web-based interface for settings, user settings, progress, and other functions; validate DICOM RT structure transfer, patient identity, review, acceptance, and rollback locally. Test representative identifiers, geometry, measurements, units, routing, failure handling, and round trips locally.
