Current role and future perspectives of artificial intelligence in echocardiography

Rafael Vidal-Perez et al. World J Cardiol. .

Abstract

Echocardiography is an essential tool in diagnostic cardiology and is fundamental to clinical care. Artificial intelligence (AI) can help health care providers serving as a valuable diagnostic tool for physicians in the field of echocardiography specially on the automation of measurements and interpretation of results. In addition, it can help expand the capabilities of research and discover alternative pathways in medical management specially on prognostication. In this review article, we describe the current role and future perspectives of AI in echocardiography.

Keywords: Artificial intelligence; Deep learning; Echocardiography; Machine learning; Prognosis.
