About Intelligent Ultrasound Group
Intelligent Ultrasound develops artificial 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
ScanNav Assist 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 recognizes the 20 views recommended by the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynaecology mid-trimester practice guidelines for fetal imaging.
ScanNav Anatomy
ScanNav Anatomy PNB uses machine-learning-based algorithms 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 received CE approval and has also been submitted for FDA regulatory approval.
ScanNav Anatomy PNB is therefore not available for sale in the US or any other territory requiring government approval for this type of product.

Its main products are the ScanTrainer OBGYN training simulator, the HeartWorks echocardiography training simulator, the BodyWorks Eve Point of Care and Emergency Medicine training simulator with Covid module, and the new AI-based Anatomy PNB training simulator.
