AI performed well in conducting preliminary readings of heart ultrasoundsArtificial intelligence is better than humans at assessing heart ultrasounds, the main test of overall cardiac health, the most rigorous trial yet conducted on the subject found on Wednesday.
This successful trial"really strengthens the argument that now we're ready for primetime," added the cardiologist at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Both assessed the ultrasound for what is called left ventricular ejection fraction, which measures the heart's ability to pump blood out to the body in the space of a heartbeat.
Their assessments were then evaluated by cardiologists, who did not know which ones came from humans and which from the AI model.The cardiologists made a substantial change in more than 27 percent of the sonographer assessments -- and in nearly 17 percent of those done by the AI model, the study found.There is a"tremendous shortage" of sonographers in the United States and across the world, and this would save them valuable time, he added.
