QP-Brain®

Quibim S.L.

Authorized purpose: Automatically label and volumetrically quantify segmentable brain structures and white matter hyperintensities (WMH) from MR images in adults and adolescents aged 18 years and older, as a support tool for properly trained clinicians assessing structural MRIs; patient-management decisions must not rely solely on the device results.

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

Clinical takeaway

Clinical role: Automatically label and volumetrically quantify segmentable brain structures and white matter hyperintensities (WMH) from MR images in adults and adolescents aged 18 years and older, as a support tool for properly trained clinicians assessing structural MRIs; patient-management decisions must not rely solely on the device results.

Evidence takeaway

Evidence from the reviewed source record: FDA K232231 reports software verification and validation against manual expert segmentation. For T1 brain structures, Dice scores and relative-volume differences were GM 0.983 and 2.846, WM 0.990 and 1.643, CSF 0.955 and 7.495, and ICV 0.994 and 0.496. For T2 FLAIR WMH, burden-stratified Dice scores were 0.506, 0.636, 0.774, and 0.885 for low, medium, high, and very high WMH, with corresponding absolute volume errors of 0.675, 2.544, 3.097, and 7.833 mL; the packet also reports Pearson correlation of 0.88 for WMH count. No sample size or clinical-outcome study is stated in the reviewed FDA packet.

  • Checked 2026-09-08
Required input
DICOM-compatible MR images, including 3D T1-weighted Gradient Echo structural MRI for brain structures and T2 FLAIR MRI for WMH identification, from adults and adolescents aged 18 years and older; the application checks available sequences for compatibility before launching analysis.

Output and human action
Volumes for gray matter, white matter, cerebrospinal fluid, and intracranial volume, plus WMH quantification, segmentation color overlays, morphometric reports, comparisons with age- and gender-matched normative percentile data when available, longitudinal reporting, and DICOM-formatted results displayable on DICOM workstations and PACS.

Limitations
The software is a support tool and patient-management decisions must not be based solely on its results. The FDA scope is limited to segmentable brain structures and WMH from the specified T1 and T2 FLAIR MRI inputs; WMH performance varies materially by lesion burden, and the packet does not establish a general diagnostic claim or a specific current PACS, RIS, EHR, or deployment configuration.
