Indications for Use
MIM software is intended for trained medical professionals including, but not limited to, radiologists, oncologists, physicians, medical technologists, dosimetrists, and physicists. MIM is a medical image and information management system that is intended to receive, transmit, store, retrieve, display, print and process digital medical images, as well as create, display, and print reports from those images. The medical modalities of these medical imaging systems include, but are not limited to, CT, MR, CR, DX, MG, US, SPECT, PET and XA as supported by ACR/NEMA DICOM 3.0. MIM provides the user with the means to display, register and fuse medical images from multiple modalities. Additionally, it evaluates cardiac left ventricular function and perfusion, including left ventricular end-diastolic volume, end-systolic volume, and ejection fraction. The Region of Interest (ROI) feature reduces the time necessary for the user to define objects in medical image volumes by providing an initial definition of object contours. The objects include, but are not limited to, tumors and normal tissues. MIM provides tools to quickly create, transform, and modify contours for applications including, but not limited to, quantitative analysis, aiding adaptive therapy, transferring contours to radiation therapy treatment planning systems and archiving contours for patient follow-up and management. MIM aids in the assessment of PET/SPECT brain scans. It provides automated quantitative and statistical analysis by automatically registering PET/SPECT brain scans to a standard template and comparing intensity values to a reference database or to other PET/SPECT scans on a voxel-by-voxel basis, within stereotactic surface projections or standardized regions of interest. MIM allows the dose distribution of an implant to be individually shaped for each patient and is a general-purpose brachytherapy planning system used for prospective and confirmation dose calculations for patients undergoing a course of brachytherapy using permanent implants of various radioisotopes (not including radioactive microspheres). MIM allows voxel-based dose calculations for patients who have been administered radioisotopes or radioactive microspheres. MIM assists with the planning and evaluation of ablation procedures by allowing the energy zone that comprises the ablation zone to be visualized on medical imaging through the placement of virtual ablation devices for the purpose of confirming ablation zone placement.
Device Story
MIM - Dose Analysis is a standalone software application extending MIM - Ablation (K220256). It processes digital medical images (CT, MR, etc.) to perform radiation dose calculations. Key functions include calculating Biologically Effective Dose (BED) and Equieffective Dose (e.g., EQD2), evaluating radiation dose across different image sets using rigid/deformable registration, and accumulating doses from multiple timepoints. Used by clinicians (radiologists, oncologists, physicists) in clinical settings to assist in treatment planning and evaluation. The software transforms input image data and registration objects into quantitative dose metrics. Healthcare providers review these outputs to inform clinical decision-making regarding radiation therapy and patient follow-up. Benefits include improved accuracy in dose assessment and streamlined adaptive therapy workflows.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data. Validation included verification of BED, EQD, and TCP calculations against manual calculations using standard Linear-Quadratic (LQ) models. Dose accumulation methods were validated by comparing MIM-calculated doses against manual calculations for datasets linked via rigid and deformable registration. Results confirmed consistency and accuracy within clinical limits.
Technological Characteristics
Standalone software operating on Windows and Apple OS X. Implements rigid and deformable image registration, voxel-based dose calculation, and standard Linear-Quadratic (LQ) BED models. Supports ACR/NEMA DICOM 3.0 standards for image modalities (CT, MR, CR, DX, MG, US, NM, PET, XA).
Indications for Use
Indicated for trained medical professionals to aid in evaluation and information management of digital medical images (CT, MR, CR, DX, MG, US, SPECT, PET, XA). Assists in image processing, reporting, registration/fusion, cardiac function evaluation, contouring, PET/SPECT brain scan analysis, brachytherapy planning, radionuclide dose calculation, and ablation procedure visualization. Not for mammography CAD. Lossy compressed mammographic/digitized film images not for primary interpretation.

# Device Description
MIM – Dose Analysis extends features of MIM – Ablation (K220256). It is designed for use in medical imaging and operates on both Windows and Mac computer systems. MIM - Dose Analysis is a standalone software application that provides:
- Calculation of Biologically Effective Dose (BED) and Equieffective Dose in specified fractions (e.g., EQD2)
- Evaluation of radiation dose on different image sets through the use of rigid and deformable ● registration objects
- Accumulation of doses ●
## Substantial Equivalence
MIM - Dose Analysis is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, MIM - Ablation (K220256). The technological characteristics of MIM - Dose Analysis are supported by the methods in the reference devices, RaySearch RayStation 12A (K222312) and Radformation ClearCheck (K220583).

# Testing and Performance Data
Software verification and validation testing included 2 main sections: BED, EQD, and TCP calculations; and dose accumulation.
BED, EQD, and TCP calculations implemented in MIM were compared against manual calculations using the same equations referenced in literature. Several different applications of the standard Linear-Quadratic (LQ) BED Model were tested. All test results yielded dose and TCP results within acceptable clinical limits when compared to manual calculations.
Dose accumulation was tested by accumulating radiation doses delivered at separate timepoints for each patient dataset. Testing included dose accumulation between separate treatment timepoints linked via rigid and deformable registration objects. Accumulated dose was calculated in MIM at multiple data points within physician-contoured anatomical structures of interest in treatment planning and evaluation, and these dose results were compared against manual dose accumulation calculations. These test results showed consistent and accurate dose accumulation methods applied in MIM.
Altogether, the testing performed validates the adequacy of MIM - Dose Analysis for clinical use and verifies alignment between MIM software, standardized equations referenced in literature, and previously FDA-cleared softwares.
## Conclusion
Based on the Device Description and Testing and Performance Data above, the proposed device is determined to be as safe and effective as the predicate device, MIM - Ablation (K220256). The technological characteristics of the proposed device are adequately supported by the methods in the reference devices. RaySearch RayStation 12A (K222312) and Radformation ClearCheck (K220583).

Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
