Advanced imaging capabilities

The software update introduces ‘T-Mode’, an AI-powered learning tool that provides real-time anatomical guidance through coloured overlays. Initially launched for aesthetic and thyroid applications, the technology now extends to rotator cuff imaging, particularly beneficial for physiotherapists and sports medicine specialists acquiring ultrasound skills.

“We’re especially excited to introduce the Clarius Enterprise Software Solution tailored to meet the needs of our growing base of large healthcare institutions that are managing the use of multiple Clarius scanners,” commented Ohad Arazi, Clarius CEO. The enterprise solution enables healthcare institutions to efficiently manage multiple ultrasound devices across departments.

Clinical workflow enhancements

The Clarius App 12.0 introduces several specialty-specific features:

  • Automated CPT code selection for MSK, urology and women’s health examinations
  • A-Mode measurements for ophthalmological assessments, including axial length measurements
  • Standardised protocols for aesthetic procedures
  • Integrated lung ultrasound scoring system for respiratory assessment

Expanded AI capabilities

The company has extended its AI functionality to additional regions, including Australia and Iran. These features encompass:

  • MSK AI for automated anatomical structure identification
  • OB AI for streamlined foetal measurements
  • Bladder AI for rapid volume calculations

The updated software maintains compatibility with iOS and Android devices, delivering high-resolution imaging traditionally associated with conventional cart-based systems. The company reports that these innovations are designed to provide comparable imaging quality at a significantly reduced cost.

Technical specifications

The new software release includes specific enhancements for ophthalmological applications, featuring preconfigured settings for optimal image clarity. The lung ultrasound scoring system implements a 12-field assessment protocol with quantitative scoring from 0-3, facilitating evidence-based clinical decision-making.
