Roberto Lang, MD, has been closely involved with the development of AI technology that helps inexperienced ultrasound users perform high-quality echo exams. "It is an unbelievable thing when you see it working," he said. 

Given the similarities in accuracy between pathology results and preoperative imaging, MRI could have a greater role in risk assessments in the future, experts suggested in AJR.

Icometrix said the current procedural terminology code covers its FDA-cleared quantification software, “creating a path to reimbursement.” 

Ted Abraham, MD, explained why HCM has entered the limelight at recent cardiology conferences, including ASE 2023.

And the improved scan times did not come at the expense of image quality but, instead, offered improved signal-to-noise ratio, according to a new study in Skeletal Radiology.

Echocardiography expert Roberto Lang, MD, says artificial intelligence will be so important to cardiac ultrasound in the near future that echo labs not using it will be inefficient and less accurate than labs that do use it.

James Kirkpatrick, MD, discussed some of the biggest trends and themes he saw at the American Society of Echocardiography's 2023 annual meeting.

The findings were reached using an analytic hierarchy process, which can help physicians review options with patients who have never experienced either exam.
