Offering expedited calculation of prostate volume, Clarius Prostate AI is reportedly the first AI-enabled prostate measurement tool to garner FDA clearance for use with handheld ultrasound.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 510(k) clearance for Clarius Prostate AI, an artificial intelligence (AI) application for handheld ultrasound that enables rapid calculation of prostate volume.
In contrast to manual processes with traditional ultrasound, clinicians can utilize the Clarius app to access Clarius Prostate AI, which highlights the prostate gland and facilitates caliper placement to measure prostate volume, according to Clarius, the developer of Clarius Prostate AI.

The company said Clarius Prostate AI, which is being showcased at the American Urological Association (AUA) conference April 26-29, also calculates prostate-specific antigen (PSA) density by combining the prostate volume measurement with the inputted patient’s PSA level.
"95% of clinicians we recently surveyed believe AI-powered measurements would save them time and allow them to see more patients. Manual ultrasound prostate volume measurements are repetitive and time-consuming, regardless of experience. With Clarius Prostate AI, what used to take several minutes now takes seconds, no matter your experience level,” noted Sarah Leverett, the vice president of marketing at Clarius Mobile Health.
Clarius noted that Clarius Prostate AI is currently available with Clarius handheld ultrasound scanners, including the C3 HD3 for transabdominal ultrasound and the EC7 HD3 for transrectal imaging, that offer customization for urology exams.
Emerging AI Mammography Model May Enhance Clarity for Initial BI-RADS 3 and 4 Classifications
May 21st 2025In a study involving over 12,000 Asian women, researchers found that an artificial intelligence (AI) model converted over 83 percent of false positives in patients with initial BI-RADS 3 and 4 assessments into benign BI-RADS categories.
