While MonoUNet focuses on knee cartilage, the underlying architecture points to a broader future: lightweight AI models running directly on handheld ultrasound, enabling real‑time assessment of tendons, ligaments, and other joint structures. The MX9 Pro’s linear probe is already optimized for musculoskeletal applications, making it a versatile foundation for emerging AI tools in sports medicine and rehabilitation.
