What is it indicated for?
KIMAX QMATM is a quantitative imaging software application. It is designed for physicians and clinical professionals who are interested in the analysis of motion in medical images, particularly in musculoskeletal images. KIMAX QMATM permits users to review static and dynamic digital images acquired from a variety of radiographic sources. It also facilitates quantitative assessment of motion in radiographic images. Information about the motion of selected objects, such as bone structures, can be generated and presented in the form of a “motion analysis” report containing graphics, charts and text.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA 510(k) statement.
