ScanDiags Ortho L-Spine MR-Q

ScanDiags AG

ScanDiags Ortho L-Spine MR-Q software is an image-processing and measurement software tool that provides quantitative spine measurements from previously-acquired DICOM lumbar spine Magnetic Resonance (MR) images for users' review, analysis, and interpretation. It provides the following functionality to assist users in visualizing, and documenting area and distance measurements of relevant anatomical structures (vertebral body, intervertebral disc, neuroforamina, thecal sac) of the lumbar spine: Feature Segmentation; Feature measurement; and Export of measurement results to a PDF report containing measurement results and overlay images for user's review, revise and approval. ScanDiags Ortho L-Spine MR-Q software does not produce or recommend any type of medical diagnosis or treatment. Instead, it simply helps users to more easily identify and classify features in lumbar MR images and compile a report. The user is responsible for reviewing and verifying the software-generated measurements and approving draft report content using their medical judgment and discretion. The device is intended to be used only by hospitals and other medical institutions. Only DICOM images of MRI acquired from lumbar spine exams of patients aged 22 and above are considered to be valid input. ScanDiags Ortho L-Spine MR-Q software does not support DICOM images of patients that are pregnant, undergo MRI scan with contrast media, have post-operational complications or infections.

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.

Output and human action
The AI model outputs segmentations and quantitative measurements of lumbar spine anatomical structures including: vertebral body area and heights (anterior, middle, posterior), height ratios, angle, biconcave height losses; intervertebral disc area and heights (anterior, middle, posterior); neuroforaminal area; thecal sac area and anteroposterior and mediolateral diameters. Results are exported as a Measurement Result PDF report sent to PACS containing cropped MRI images with overlay highlighting segmented structures and tables of quantitative data.

Implementation

Questions for IT, informatics, and operations

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

Integration
The exact-submission ACR model card explicitly references DICOM and PACS in the described input, output, or workflow; exact interfaces, versions, and local compatibility require confirmation.
Public source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-01

Interoperability terms explicitly reported in the exact-submission ACR model card; interface versions and local compatibility still require confirmation.

Deployment and data flow
On-premise
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 2026-08-13

FDA authorization does not establish the current commercial security posture. Request data-flow diagrams, hosting and retention details, access controls, audit logging, attestations, and incident-response documentation.

Training and support
Vendor documentation pending
Vendor confirmation Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-08-13

Training, onboarding, competency, and support commitments are commercial implementation details that require current vendor documentation.

Monitoring and change control
Vendor documentation pending
Vendor confirmation Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-08-13

Local acceptance testing, production monitoring, drift review, update control, and incident escalation require a current vendor and site-specific governance plan.

Input or output interoperability

DICOM is explicitly referenced in the described input, output, or workflow.

exact submission · checked 2026-09-01

Economics and lifecycle

Budget and ongoing governance

These are common procurement questions; unknown values remain visible until a source supports them.

Pricing and total cost
Vendor documentation pending

Needs research Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-08-31

Determine whether any product-specific CPT/HCPCS pathway exists and separate it from billing for the underlying imaging service.

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
Not established in reviewed sources
Reviewed sources checked Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04

No native submission-identifier match was found in the checked openFDA radiology recall snapshot. Product-name, manufacturer, and adverse-event searches remain necessary; this does not establish that no recall or safety report exists.

Exact-submission ACR model-card fields were normalized under the current provenance rules; vendor and independent-study confirmation remain distinct. 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.
