Indications for Use
MuscleView is used in adults and pediatric patients aged 18 and older to automatically segment muscle and bone structures of the lower extremities from magnetic resonance imaging using a machine learning-based approach. After segmentation, it can provide derived metrics including muscle volume, bone volume, intramuscular fat percentage, and left/right asymmetry. It is intended to be used by physicians who are trained to interpret MRI images, and serves as an initial method to segment muscle and bone structures from one or more study series. The segmentation results need to be reviewed and edited using appropriate software. It is intended to only provide the segmentation and derived metrics for muscle and bone structures and cannot serve as direct guidance for diagnosis of any diseases. This device is not intended for use with patients who have tumors in lower limb.
Device Story
MuscleView is a software-only device for automated segmentation of 80 musculoskeletal structures (muscles and bones) in the lower extremities from MRI. It uses a machine learning-based approach, specifically convolutional neural networks (CNNs) trained on expert-contoured cases. Input consists of DICOM-compliant MRI data; the system preprocesses images to create 3D volumes, performs segmentation, and calculates metrics including volume, intramuscular fat percentage, and limb asymmetry. The device is used in a clinical setting by physicians trained in MRI interpretation. It operates as a service on a workstation with a GPU, accessed via a web-based interface. The output is a 3D visualization with quantitative metrics, intended as an initial segmentation method requiring physician review and editing. It does not provide diagnostic guidance. Benefits include automated quantification of musculoskeletal structures to support clinical assessment.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Validation performed on 148 scans from 148 subjects, independent of the 1,658-scan training set. Performance evaluated against manual expert segmentation using Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) and Volume Difference (VDt). Subgroup analyses included healthy vs. patient populations (amputees, muscular dystrophy), MRI manufacturers (GE, Siemens, Philips, Canon, Toshiba), and age/sex demographics. All ROIs met predetermined acceptance criteria based on interobserver repeatability.
Technological Characteristics
Software-only device; runs on PC-compatible workstation with GPU. Processes DICOM-compliant MRI data. Uses CNN-based machine learning for automated segmentation. Supports 80 musculoskeletal structures (72 muscles, 8 bones) in lower extremities. Web-based interface for data management, segmentation, and 3D visualization. No manual editing supported within the device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adults and pediatric patients aged 18 and older for automatic segmentation of lower extremity muscle and bone structures from MRI. Contraindicated for patients with lower limb tumors.

### 4. Device Description
MuscleView is a software only product that uses a machine learning-based approach for the automatic segmentation of musculoskeletal structures from MRI. Based on the segmentation, metrics such as volume and length of the segmented structures are calculated.
The software has the following modules: user management, data management, image processing, Al segmentation & 3D model viewer and metrics calculation. User management involves authentication and access to the software and its results. Data management involves medical image data and its interactions with the system workflow. Image processing involves Preprocessing the DICOM data to create a combined continuous 3D volume(s) of series with similar settings for use in Al segmentation & 3D model viewer module handles training data and algorithms to obtain the pre-trained models and algorithms to update models. Metric calculation module handles the final calculation of relevant metrics.
Input data is preprocessed and prepared for 3D volume segmentation of the musculoskeletal structures. A library of already contoured expert cases is utilized to train the machine learning algorithms, specifically convolutional networks (CNNs) perform automated segmentation. This process is in an auxiliary module for AI training.
MuscleView is intended to be used by physicians who are trained to interpret MRI images, and serves as an initial method to segment muscle and bone structures from one or more study series. The segmentation results need to be reviewed and edited using appropriate software. This device is not intended for use with patients who have tumors in lower limb. The currently supported anatomical regions for automatic segmentation are 80 different muscles and bones of the lower extremity. The supported musculoskeletal structures for each region are shown below in Table 1.
{6}------------------------------------------------
Upon segmentation, a suite of metrics regarding the segmented 3D volumes is provided. It is intended to only provide the segmentation and derived metrics for muscle and bone structures and cannot serve as direct guidance for diagnosis of any diseases. These metrics include segmentation volume, fat infiltration (if applicable), and limb side asymmetry. The metrics are provided in conjunction with an interactive visualization of the 3D segmentation results.
The software is deployed within a private network on a workstation with an advanced graphic processing unit (GPU) and runs as a service. A web-based interface is used to access the service and manage the data transfer, automatic segmentation, and visualization.

Performance testing of segmentation and associated metrics was performed by comparing the results obtained to a reference standard developed by manual segmentation performed by experts. Validation Tests met the acceptance criteria if the dice similarity coefficient (DSC) or volume difference (VDt) was below interobserver variability.
Independence of test data from training data was ensured in several ways. (1) MRI Data used to train the Al was explicitly separate from validation data (both as MRI scans and as subjects), (2) the majority (70%) of datasets in the validation set came from imaging centers and organizations not used in the train datasets (19 new sites), and (3) the personnel involved in establishing the reference standard for the Al were not involved in the algorithm's development to ensure the independence of training and testing.
The Al segmentation was validated on the 80 musculoskeletal structures, demonstrating their accuracy across many varying scan and patient cases as related to the gold-standard of label generation – interobserver repeatability of manually vetted labels. The segmentation performance and derived metrics of all ROIs passed the predetermined acceptance criteria in both healthy and patient population subgroups, i.e. a one-sample T-test between the results of the validation set and the acceptance criteria threshold (the 95% confidence interval from the interobserver repeatability of manually vetted labels). A desired outcome to "approve" a ROI passed validation was a mean better than or equal to the acceptance criteria (a significant T-test showing the sample differed significantly better than the acceptance criteria threshold). Each musculoskeletal structure either used dice similarity coefficient (DSC) or volume difference (VDt) as its comparison metric, dependent on what best captured the structure's segmentation accuracy. The healthy and patient subgroup analysis split the validation dataset into two groups, healthy (athlete and healthy control) and patients (amputees, muscular dystrophy patient post-surgery). The subgroup analysis across different manufacturers (GE, Siemens, Phillips, Toshiba, Canon) also showed consistent performance, indicating high generalizability of our product. The age/biologic sex subgroup analysis (males 18 – 21 years old, females 18 – 21 years old, males >21 years old, and females >21 years old) also demonstrated that each subgroup passed the predetermined
{12}------------------------------------------------
acceptance criteria. For the 95% confidence interval for all structures and subgroups, see Table 4 (DSC) and Table 5 (VDt).

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.
Try it yourself
Head to the search page and work through a few of these AI/ML fuzzy searches to build intuition: perivascular fat on CT · aortic valve calcification opportunistic screening on noncontrast CT · breast cancer prediction on digital pathology slides · autism detection · gestational age prediction · a hearing aid that can also detect a pulse · foundation model based analysis of ECG · large language models · penetration test. Watch how the relevance scores, intended use, and AI Performance tables tell you when results stop being meaningful.
