flag A new robotic ultrasound system achieved high success in imaging kidney patients during dialysis, potentially improving vascular access outcomes.

flag The VxWave Ultrasound Imaging System, developed by Australian company Vexev and tested in collaboration with U.S. Renal Care, successfully met all clinical endpoints in the CANSCAN Trial, a first-of-its-kind study involving 115 patients with advanced kidney disease. flag The robotic system achieved a 94% scan completion rate and 100% data adequacy, with images rated sufficient by independent vascular specialists. flag Designed for semi-autonomous, on-demand use during dialysis visits, the system aims to overcome longstanding challenges like poor patient compliance, inconsistent scan quality, and high costs in vascular access mapping. flag Results presented at Kidney Week 2025 suggest the technology could improve outcomes by enabling standardized, precise imaging to increase the success of arteriovenous fistulas and grafts.
