An AI algorithm can assess echocardiograms “more rapidly and comprehensively” than experienced cardiologists, according to a new study published in Nature. The video-based model could be a significant upgrade for facilities where human specialists and state-of-the-art technology are unavailable.
“By developing a new machine-learning algorithm for echocardiogram videos, we can comprehensively assess the state of the heart,” co-senior author James Zou, PhD, a biomedical data scientist at Stanford University, said in a statement. “Our model accurately identifies important heart structures and tracks the heart’s motion to precisely assess cardiac function.”
The team’s findings could be a game-changer for cardiology, helping specialists assess heart function with more speed and accuracy than ever before. It could also be beneficial in...
