"My carpal tunnel syndrome evaluation has become much more efficient and more reliable since starting to use the Clarius ultrasound system and Median Nerve AI."


Clarius Intelligence

Introduction to Median Nerve AI

Median Nerve AI identifies and measures the median nerve automatically, highlighting it with a color overlay that distinguishes it from surrounding tendons. A color indicator confirms image quality before measurement, giving even first-time users confidence they have the right view.

Inside this Case Study

From Frustration to First Principle:Dr.Fowler Ultrasound Journey

What if the standard of care wasn't working? For Dr. Fowler's carpal tunnel patients, the standard path meant a referral, a nerve study, another appointment, and weeks of waiting. He believed there was a better way.

The Blood Pressure Analogy

Learn how Dr. Fowler turned his research project 

into his standard of care.


It's almost like taking a blood pressure in our office," he says. "The PA or NP go in, use the ultrasound. And we've done a lot of research showing those measurements are very reliable, even for inexperienced users.
