What Users Are Saying About Using Clarius Ultrasound 

Watch these short videos to hear from real users and see how they’re using Clarius ultrasound for a variety of MSK applications. You can see hear from more users on our blog.  

Dr. Ian Young, DSc, PT, Dip. Osteopractic, RMSK  

Dr. Ian Young began his ultrasound training journey about seven years ago. He uses the Clarius L15 HD3 and C3 HD3 wireless handheld ultrasound systems as well as a cart-based system at his cash practice in Savannah, Georgia where he sees 10-15 patients per week for longer and more expensive visits using ultrasound for diagnosis and guided needling.  

It’s really new for a lot of the physical therapists around the country, really around the world,” he says. “And it’s become an exciting thing because we really think it’s the next big thing for physical therapy, and we want to make it almost just a normal thing to have in your clinic. If you don’t have ultrasound and you’re not doing diagnostic ultrasound, then you’re way behind.”  

Dr. James Escaloni, RMSK, Physical Therapist 

After his interest in sonography was piqued while watching an ultrasound-guided treatment about five years ago, Dr. Escaloni dedicated himself to achieving his RMSK (Registered in Musculoskeletal sonography) certification and now uses ultrasound daily at his chronic pain management practice “to provide the specificity that’s missing from my clinical exam.”  

The Clarius system has got a very good image, especially for more superficial tissues and the Clarius voice control features are a fantastic thing for me in the office. It helps me maintain a clean area; I can use voice-activated settings to change the gain and needle mode as I need it. Clarius ultrasound has helped me deliver the best patient care, because I’m able to track outcomes with my patients and show them we’re making progress.”  

Dr. Frank Johnson, MD, Sports & Family Medicine 

Originally trained as a family physician, Dr. Frank Johnson now runs a sports medicine practice and trains physicians on how to perform ultrasound-guided injections.  

Clarius devices are lighter than they used to be, and they’re more compact than they used to be, and they’re more reliable than they used to be. When I compare that with the sort of clamshell machines, or other machines, the Clarius just outperforms them because it’s so much more flexible. With a tablet on a stand that I can move around quite easily, with no cords to trip over, it’s a treat to use.”  

Corey Grozier, a graduate student at Michigan State University 

Corey Grozier, a graduate student at Michigan State University researching the effects of ACL reconstruction on surrounding anatomy, uses the Clarius L15 HD3 and the Probefix for MSK research and to monitor recovering patients in motion.  

The Clarius being wireless is a massive help for us. Realistically, the problem that we would run into with a normal ultrasound machine, would really just be the fact that the wires are getting in the way and it becomes kind of an issue of making sure the patients are comfortable. So the Clarius being completely hands free and wireless in that instance really just helps us to gather better information for each of our patients.”
