Clarius vs Elucid
Category I CPT code 75577 has applied since January 1, 2026 to coronary plaque analysis, and Elucid's PlaqueIQ (K241524, decided September 12, 2024, and K261855, decided September 18, 2026) is billed to providers per analysis. The national average is about $1,012 in imaging centers and physician offices, which is what Medicare pays the performing site and not Elucid's fee. Elucid's 2024 release describes trained analysts segmenting a 3D model of the coronary arteries before the software quantifies tissue.
Clarius sells wireless scanners, with Buy Now stores and a Request a Quote form on its home page. Its Ejection Fraction AI (K253593, decided March 2, 2026) offers "left ventricular function in seconds," in the vendor's words. A cardiology group could own both, since one answers a heart-function question and the other a plaque question. A general practice with no CT access can skip Elucid, and a CT lab asking about plaque can skip the probe.
