Currently, sonographer technicians provide preliminary interpretations prior to validation and overreading by cardiologists. This staggered, stepwise evaluation allows for the introduction of AI decision support with minimal impact on patient care. Physicians are already used to adjusting the preliminary report given the variable training of sonographers and on the lookout for changes, variation, or adjustments that need to be made.
A novel AI algorithm developed to assess measurements of left ventricular diameter during diastole (LVIDd), intraventricular septum thickness during diastole (IVSd) and left ventricular posterior wall thickness during diastole (LVPWd). The AI will provide preliminary assessments for cardiologist evaluation.
