Artificial Intelligence in Echocardiography

Abstract

Artificial intelligence in diagnostic cardiac-imaging platforms is advancing rapidly. In particu-lar, artificial intelligence algorithms have increased the efficiency and accuracy of echocar-diographic cardiovascular imaging, resulting in more complex echocardiographic imaging techniques and expanded use among noncardiologists. Here, we provide an overview of real-world applications of artificial intelligence in echocardiography including automatic high-quality computer-optimized image acquisition sequences, automated measurements, and algorithms for the rapid and accurate interpretation of cardiac physiology. These advances will not replace physicians but will improve their productivity, workflow, and diagnostic per-formance.
