MIM Software, Inc. out of Cleveland, Ohio, has announced that its multi-modality imaging software, Mobile MIM, has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA, showing it to be safe and effective for "viewing images and making medical diagnoses based on computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear medicine technology, such as positron emission tomography (PET). It is not intended to replace full workstations and is indicated for use only when there is no access to a workstation."

For the app's review, the FDA performed various tests that measured luminance, image quality (resolution), and noise. These tests were performed under various lighting conditions, which often create significant, but important differences in images.

Mobile MIM was the winner of the Apple Design Award for Best iPhone Healthcare & Fitness Application in 2008 and should be available in the US Apple App Store next week.
