Echocardiography (echo) is gaining popularity to guide the catheter during surgical procedures. However, it is difficult to discern the catheter tip in echo even with an acoustically active catheter. An acoustically active catheter is detected for th...
Motion estimation in echocardiography plays an important role in the characterization of cardiac function, allowing the computation of myocardial deformation indices. However, there exist limitations in clinical practice, particularly with regard to ...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In this review we describe the use of artificial intelligence in the field of echocardiography. Various aspects and terminologies used in artificial intelligence are explained in an easy-to-understand manner and supplemented w...
