Problem
Standard musculoskeletal ultrasound produces only 2D images, limiting clinicians' ability to accurately quantify disease extent, inflammation, and tissue damage. MRI provides detailed 3D imaging but is expensive, slow, and often inaccessible, delaying diagnosis and treatment monitoring for conditions like arthritis and joint injuries.
Solution
NovaSonix Healthcare offers MSKNovaVue™, an attachment that converts any commercially available ultrasound machine into a real-time 3D scanner. The device automatically captures full volumetric images in seconds, eliminating the need for manual scanning and reducing operator variability. On-board AI algorithms quantify disease biomarkers such as cartilage thickness and joint inflammation, delivering MRI-like insight at a fraction of the cost and without long wait times. This enables clinicians to improve detection of injury, inflammation, and blood flow, while precisely measuring treatment effectiveness and disease progression over time.
Target Audience
Primary users are rheumatologists, orthopedists, sports medicine physicians, and clinical researchers who need precise, accessible musculoskeletal imaging for diagnosis, treatment monitoring, and clinical trials.
Features
- Universal attachment compatible with any standard ultrasound machine, requiring no specialized scanner replacement
- Automatic capture of full 3D volumetric images in seconds, reducing exam time and operator dependence
- On-board AI algorithms that quantify biomarkers including cartilage thickness, synovitis, and joint inflammation
- True volumetric and dynamic data capture for improved detection of tears, cysts, edema, and angiogenesis
- Precise measurement capabilities that support clinical trials by reducing subject numbers and shortening trial length
