Kansas City, OK, April 22, 2025 – Recognizing the challenges faced by both novice and experienced musculoskeletal (MSK) clinicians in learning, performing, and explaining ultrasound imaging, Clarius Mobile Health, a pioneer in AI-powered handheld ultrasound systems, today announced T-ModeTM Anterior Knee. This new feature, available now with Clarius MSK scanners, transforms standard grayscale ultrasound images into vibrant, color-coded visuals that illuminate the subtle differences between tendons, bone, and other soft tissue in the anterior knee. Clarius is demonstrating new T-Mode at the American Medical Society for Sport Medicine annual meeting in Kansas City from April 22-27.
“Ultrasound is frequently the first-line imaging modality for assessing knee pain, but learning to read and interpret the grayscale variations of ultrasound is known to be challenging for new users,” says Sarah Leverett, Vice President of Marketing at Clarius. “T-Mode is the expert assistant that helps novice MSK clinicians to quickly build imaging skills for confident assessments and in-clinic diagnoses. It’s also useful for patient conversations.”
Physiotherapist Greg Fritz, a Clarius ultrasound user since 2016, recently taught how to scan with T-Mode Knee and the Clarius L15 wireless ultrasound scanner: “As I start the knee scan with students and interns, it is a treat to see their faces light with excitement as they watch the dynamic AI identifying and labeling the focus tissue and relevant anatomy.”
