Needle Enhance (NE) allows for better visualization of needles when using ultrasound for guiding procedures such as soft tissue biopsies and some musculoskeletal injections.

NE makes use of Clarius‘ patented hybrid spatial compounding technology and reflection AI to make needles of many different gauges show up brighter within the greyscale image.

Strain Elastography allows for the visualization of stiffness differences between surrounding tissues. Through light manual compression, the technology analyzes the radiofrequency signals to discern small variations in how tissue compresses to generate a colorized overlay within a spectrum ranging from hard to soft. When imaging nodules or some soft tissue masses, greyscale differences may be difficult or unapparent – strain elastography can thus help provide more context.
