What Physicians Need to Know

DICOM Support & Standards
Clarius supports DICOM Store and DICOM Worklist, enabling transfer of saved images or live data to a DICOM server in various formats. The Clarius app can also download DICOM Worklists to auto-fill patient information.
PACS Integration Method
Exams are sent directly from the smart device to the HIPAA-compliant Clarius Cloud for secure storage and management. Alternatively, it can connect to any DICOM-compliant server.
Reading Room Workflow Impact
Clarius' wireless and portable design enhances mobility for point-of-care use. AI-powered features like 'Auto Preset AI' automatically optimize imaging settings, and 'T-Mode AI' provides real-time anatomical overlays for easier learning and identification. Built-in CPT codes streamline billing, and various AI models automate measurements (e.g., fetal biometry, tendon thickness, bladder volume, prostate volume, median nerve), significantly reducing manual effort and improving efficiency.
AI Model Architecture
Clarius utilizes advanced AI technologies and non-adaptive machine learning algorithms for automated image quality adjustments, anatomy recognition ('Auto Preset AI'), and real-time anatomical overlays ('T-Mode AI'). Specific AI models (e.g., OB AI, MSK AI, Bladder AI, Prostate AI, Median Nerve AI) are trained on extensive datasets (e.g., OB AI on over 30,000 fetal ultrasound images) to perform automated segmentation and measurements.
Processing Speed (per study)
Clarius scanners feature Octal Beamforming technology with eight beamformers, enabling 8x faster data processing and frame rates compared to most handheld scanners. AI-driven measurements, such as bladder volume and tendon segmentation, are often completed in seconds.
FDA Clearance Pathway
Clarius C3 and L7 scanners received 510(k) clearance in 2016. Multiple AI models, including OB AI (June 2024), MSK AI (January 2023), Prostate AI, and Median Nerve AI (2025), have also received 510(k) clearances, bringing the total to 6 FDA-cleared AI models and 16 deployed AI technologies by the end of 2025.
Supported Modalities
Clarius exclusively supports ultrasound (US) imaging. It is designed for a wide range of ultrasound applications including abdominal, cardiac, obstetrics/gynecology, musculoskeletal (MSK), nerve, ocular, vascular, small parts (e.g., thyroid), emergency medicine, critical care, primary care, urology, and women's health. The PAL HD3 scanner combines phased and linear arrays for whole-body ultrasound.
Sensitivity & Specificity Data
Studies indicate Clarius' performance in various applications: a 2020 study showed 65% concordance with cart-based ultrasound for MSK abnormalities. For carpal tunnel syndrome, Clarius measurements closely aligned with conventional systems (mean difference 0.66 mm2, p=0.55). Bladder AI demonstrated excellent reliability (ICC 0.90) compared to human measurements. Prostate volume measurements with Clarius TAUS showed strong correlation (r=0.911, p<0.001) with specimen weight for larger prostates.
Physician Tip

Leverage Clarius' AI-powered 'Auto Preset AI' for rapid image optimization and 'T-Mode AI' for real-time anatomical guidance, especially beneficial for novice users or quick assessments. Utilize the automated measurement tools (e.g., OB AI, MSK AI, Bladder AI) to streamline workflow and reduce manual errors. The portability and wireless nature make it ideal for point-of-care diagnostics, procedural guidance, and patient education directly at the bedside. Integrate with existing DICOM servers or Clarius Cloud for seamless image management and reporting. Keep an eye on new FDA-cleared AI models as Clarius continues to expand its diagnostic and workflow-enhancing capabilities.

Clarius offers robust integration through DICOM Store and Worklist for PACS compatibility. Its proprietary Clarius Cloud provides HIPAA-compliant storage and exam management, accessible from iOS and Android devices. The open software platform and Clarius SDK enable third-party developers to integrate AI-powered solutions, expanding its ecosystem. Built-in CPT codes in the app aid in billing integration.

The Clarius Cloud, which handles image management and storage, is HIPAA-compliant and uses encrypted HTTPS for data uploads, with patient data automatically anonymized for AI training.
Clarius handheld scanners are known for providing high-resolution imaging comparable to traditional cart-based systems, often at a more affordable price point. While some competitors offer all-in-one probes, Clarius's piezoelectric crystal technology generally delivers superior image resolution and deeper penetration, particularly beneficial for specialties requiring high detail like MSK or vascular imaging.
Clarius HD3 scanners typically range from $2,995 to $5,990 USD, with an annual membership costing approximately $595 USD. Although presented as optional, this membership is often essential for accessing advanced features like Doppler modes, cloud storage, PDF report export, and most AI functionalities.
Clarius AI is designed to assist and inform clinical management, but it is not intended to replace a physician's clinical judgment, who retains ultimate responsibility for diagnoses. While AI features like T-Mode are expanding, their current availability might be limited to specific applications such as aesthetics, plastic surgery, and rotator cuff imaging.
Clarius ensures patient data security and privacy through its HIPAA-compliant Clarius Cloud, which encrypts data uploads via HTTPS. Patient information is automatically anonymized when used for AI algorithm training and labeling.
