Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a crucial component of healthcare to help augment physicians and make them more efficient. In medical imaging, it is helping radiologists more efficiently manage PACS worklists, enable structured reporting, auto detect injuries and diseases, and to pull in relevant prior exams and patient data. In cardiology, AI is helping automate tasks and measurements on imaging and in reporting systems, guides novice echo users to improve imaging and accuracy, and can risk stratify patients. AI includes deep learning algorithms, machine learning, computer-aided detection (CAD) systems, and convolutional neural networks.

FDA clears AI-powered cardiac imaging platform

The Tempus Pixel platform was designed to assist clinicians with the evaluation of cardiac MR images.

Cardiologists have developed an open-source artificial intelligence (AI) model capable of accurately evaluating a long list of measurements on echocardiography results. The group detailed the development and validation of that model in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

Open-source AI model delivers accurate echocardiography assessments

The algorithm, trained on more than 150,000 TTE studies, can calculate 18 different measurements regularly used in echocardiography
