The Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Association (HCMA) has helped guide and advance HCM care not only for patients, but also for hospitals and physicians. 

The technology was able to detect about 20% more cancers when compared to standard screening, without impacting false positives.

Paris, France-based Sonio also recently raised $14 million in series A financing led by Cross Border Impact Ventures. 

Rivanna's contract with the federal government also includes an option for another $56.4 million for the ultrasound-based technology. 

The groups are concerned that the rule could result in billing errors, inadvertent payment denials and slow claims processing.

Its decision drew concern from the radiology community, which has fought to increase awareness around this alternative to colonoscopy. 

AI to help interpret cardiac CT was shown to reduce exam read times to improve workflow efficiency, and improve patient diagnostics with additional information on soft plaques. Data was presented in three HeartFlow AI technology studies at SCCT 2023.
