Cardiovascular Ultrasound
This channel includes news and new technology innovations about cardiovascular ultrasounds. Cardiovascular ultrasounds, or echocardiograms, use ultrasound imaging to provide a picture of the heart.
Basic artificial intelligence is already incorporated into several premium echocardiography systems. This example is from the Philips Epiq, where the AI takes 3-D datasets and automatically identifies and segments the cardiac anatomy. It then extracts the best images for each of the standard echocardiogram views to eliminate variation between operators. The next generation echo AI software will pull in data from the electronic medical records and imaging data to offer suggested diagnoses.

SyncVision iFR Co-registration from Philips Healthcare maps pressure readings onto angiogram. Results from an international study presented at ACC 2019 indicates pressure readings obtained using iFR (instantaneous wave-free ratio, also referred to as instant wave-free ratio or instant flow reserve) in coronary arteries may localize stenoses that remain after interventions.
