This report introduces NerveTrack™, Samsung Medison’s AI-powered ultrasound feature that assists clinicians in identifying nerve locations during regional anesthesia and needle procedures.
NerveTrack™ detects and highlights the median and ulnar nerves of the wrist in real time, helping anesthesiologists and practitioners perform safer and more efficient procedures. Once activated via the touchscreen during scanning, NerveTrack™ displays a yellow box marking the nerve, which updates instantly as the clinician moves the probe thanks to its on-device AI.
Key benefits include:
- More accurate nerve detection by recognizing surrounding landmarks.
- Real-time tracking that minimizes complications by continuously adjusting to probe movement.
- Improved workflow efficiency with fast, interactive AI processing on the device.
Professor Jee Youn Moon, MD, PhD, of Seoul National University Hospital notes that NerveTrack™ detects nerves over almost the entire forearm quickly and accurately, supporting safe needle procedures.
NerveTrack™ has CE and FDA clearance and is designed to enhance the confidence and safety of ultrasound-guided interventions. The technology exemplifies Samsung Medison’s innovation in integrating AI into medical imaging to improve clinical outcomes.
In conclusion, NerveTrack™ empowers practitioners with AI-assisted, real-time ultrasound nerve detection, improving safety, speed, and precision in regional anesthesia workflows.
