The role of Artificial Intelligence in the Echocardiography workflow

According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 17.9 million people die of cardiovascular diseases each year. Among the tests to diagnose and follow up patients with suspected or confirmed heart disease, echocardiography is by far the most frequently prescribed examination after electrocardiography. The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) can help to standardise the acquisition of the images and to speed up and increase the reproducibility of the measurements. By standardising and automating the processes, a faster workflow is achieved while maintaining the quality of the exam and reducing operator stress. Let us see how the technology will prove itself in practice.
