Assessing left ventricular (LV) systolic function with point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has traditionally relied on visual estimation or manual measurements, which are highly operator-dependent. New Clarius Ejection Fraction AI removes subjectivity and accelerates diagnosis with handheld POCUS.
Integrated directly into the Clarius App, Ejection Fraction AI delivers an automated, objective measurement of the percentage of blood the heart pumps out with each beat, giving you an instant, data-driven anchor across standard cardiac windows.
Moving From Visual Guesswork to Data-Driven Cardiac Ultrasound
Historically, quantifying cardiac function required specialized sonography expertise or waiting for a formal echocardiography lab report. In high-pressure medical environments, that wait time carries a high clinical cost.
By integrating Ejection Fraction AI into our wireless scanners, we are providing an objective anchor for clinicians,” says Clarius Vice President of Marketing, Sarah Leverett. “This tool allows them to move from a subjective ‘guess’ to a data-driven diagnosis in seconds.”
The intelligent cardiac assessment tool delivers automated LVEF calculation results, requiring minimal steps from scanner-on-patient to an actionable number.
Clarius Ejection Fraction AI was developed using thousands of cardiac ultrasound images annotated by clinicians to support consistent left ventricle ejection fraction assessment across a range of patient presentations.
| Feature Capability | Clinical Impact |
| Real-Time Automated Calculation | Eliminates visual estimation and the need to measure and trace manually. |
| Standard Window Flexibility | Automatically calculates EF from standard parasternal long-axis (PLAX), parasternal short-axis (PSAX), 4-chamber, and 2-chamber views. |
| Seamless App Integration | Delivers results on iOS or Android devices without interrupting the active clinical workflow. |
Accelerating Clinical Decisions with Handheld Ultrasound AI
With precise, real-time cardiac performance metrics for managing complex pathologies like undifferentiated shortness of breath, septic shock, or trauma, clinicians can confidently guide fluid resuscitation and medication initiation.
Longitudinal Tracking in Primary Care POCUS
With the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) recognizing cardiac POCUS as a core clinical competency, primary care physicians are increasingly using ultrasound to manage chronic disease. Clarius Ejection Fraction AI provides a reliable, repeatable marker to monitor disease progression over time. Catching a decline in EF early—before a patient drops below 40% into heart failure—allows primary care providers to confidently initiate guideline-directed medical therapy and optimize specialist referrals.
Democratizing Advanced Cardiac Monitoring
In rural, remote, or underserved communities, formal echocardiography wait times can stretch for weeks or months. Putting automated, high-definition cardiac assessment directly into a handheld wireless ultrasound scanner effectively bridges this access gap, making expert-level diagnostic metrics available at the first point of contact.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Clarius Ejection Fraction AI improve on traditional visual estimation?
Traditional POCUS evaluation often relies on eyeballing the left ventricle, which introduces high subjectivity and operator dependency. Clarius Ejection Fraction AI replaces visual guesswork with an automated, real-time calculation. This delivers a discreet, reproducible data point for consistent clinical documentation and clearer communication between care teams.
Which cardiac ultrasound views are required to calculate EF?
The AI tool is designed to work seamlessly within standard clinical workflows. Clinicians can capture a calculated ejection fraction percentage using either a standard parasternal long-axis (PLAX), parasternal short-axis (PSAX), 4-chamber, or 2-chamber views.
Which Clarius scanners support automated Ejection Fraction calculations?
The new feature is compatible with the Clarius PA HD3 phased array scanner, the Clarius PAL HD3 dual-array scanner, and the Clarius C3 HD3 multipurpose scanner.
How do I get access to the Ejection Fraction AI feature?
The tool is delivered via a software update inside the Clarius App. Access to this and all other Clarius Intelligence tools is open to users with an active Clarius Membership or a One-Time License.
