The quality of medical images is crucial for accurately diagnosing and treating various diseases. However, current automated methods for assessing image quality are based on neural networks, which often focus solely on pixel distortion and overlook t...
BACKGROUND: Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is reported to be more reproducible and prognostic than ejection fraction. Automated, transparent methods may increase trust and uptake.
We sought to validate the ability of a novel handheld ultrasound device with an artificial intelligence program (AI-POCUS) that automatically assesses left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). AI-POCUS was used to prospectively scan 200 patients in ...
