In a recent video interview, David Ouyang, M.D., shared insights from two recent studies he co-authored on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to improve initial assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) on echocardiography and ascertain cardiac risks associated with changes in the left ventricle sphericity index seen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Adjunctive use of an artificial intelligence (AI) software demonstrated nearly equivalent sensitivity and over 28 percent higher accuracy in comparison to radiologist assessment of breast ultrasound images for breast lesions, according to new research presented at the recent Society of Breast Imaging (SBI) conference.
