Quick takeaways

  • Artificial intelligence (AI) calculations for hemodynamic measurements in clinical ultrasound showed moderate to high agreement with an expert operator, depending on the specific measurement being assessed.
  • The accuracy of AI calculations in clinical ultrasound is influenced by the quality of the images used, indicating the importance of capturing high-quality images for reliable AI results.

Agreement of AI calculations for EF, IVC, and LVOTVTI with expert operator

This podcast episode discusses a study that compares the accuracy of artificial intelligence (AI) calculations for three hemodynamic measurements (EF, IVC, and LVOTVTI) with those made by an expert operator. The study found that there was a moderate agreement between AI calculations and the expert operator for EF, fair agreement for IVC, and high agreement for LVOTVTI. Additionally, higher quality images generally had a better correlation between AI and the expert operator. However, it is important to note that the study was funded by the manufacturer of the AI device and the AI calculations were tested on a single manufacturer's device.
