Launch of ScanNav Anatomy: Peripheral Nerve Block Trainer
Intelligent Ultrasound Group plc (AIM: IUG), the ultrasound
artificial intelligence (AI) software and simulation company,
announces the UK launch of the ScanNav Anatomy: Peripheral Nerve
Block Trainer ("ScanNav PNB Trainer").
The ScanNav PNB Trainer is a real-time training system which
uses the latest AI technology to automatically highlight the key
structures on the live ultrasound image to aid in the teaching of
peripheral nerve blocks. Peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) are an
effective form of regional anaesthetic but require a high level of
skill to recognise the ultrasonic appearance of anatomically
relevant structures.
The ScanNav PNB Trainer has been designed to teach less
experienced clinicians how to perform the key nerve blocks. It is
compatible with the majority of ultrasound machines in
anaesthesiology and comes equipped with a complete range of
block-specific training videos using 3D animation to show the
relationship between probe position and sonoanatomy.
Nicholas Sleep, CTO of Intelligent Ultrasound Group plc,
commented: "We're delighted to be launching the ScanNav PNB Trainer
in the UK. The AI-based software helps both trainees and their
trainers by automatically highlighting the key anatomical
structures needed to locate the correct block site. This makes it
much easier to teach a block and also allows trainees to practice
in a non-clinical environment without time pressure. The system is
the first product in the Group's simulation range to benefit from
our clinical AI research and development programme."

intelligence-based clinical image analysis software tools for the
diagnostic medical ultrasound market and hi-fidelity virtual
reality simulators for the ultrasound training market. Based in
Cardiff in the UK and Atlanta in the US, the Group operates two
divisions:
Clinical AI Division
Focusses on developing deep learning-based algorithms to make
ultrasound machines smarter and more accessible. Products in the
market include ScanNav Assist, which uses machine-learning based
algorithms to automatically identify and grade ultrasound images.
GE Healthcare's SonoLyst software on their Voluson SWIFT ultrasound
machine incorporates the ScanNav Assist AI technology and has
received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for sale in the USA.
SonoLyst is the world's first fully integrated AI tool that
recognises the 20 views recommended by the International Society of
Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynaecology mid-trimester practice
guidelines for fetal imaging.
Products in development include ScanNav Anatomy PNB, which aims
to simplify ultrasound-guided needling by providing the user with
real-time AI-based anatomy highlighting software for a range of
medical procedures. ScanNav Anatomy has been submitted for CE and
FDA regulatory approval.
Simulation Division
Focusses on hi-fidelity ultrasound education and training
through simulation. Its three main products are the ScanTrainer
OBGYN training simulator, the HeartWorks echocardiography training
simulator and the BodyWorks Eve Point of Care and Emergency
Medicine training simulator. To dateover 1,000 simulators have been
sold to over 600 medical institutions around the world.
