Ultrasound is one of the most important examinations for clinical diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. The speed of image movements driven by the frequency of the beating heart is faster than that of other organs. This particularity of echocardiography poses a challenge for sonographers to diagnose accurately. However, artificial intelligence for detection, functional evaluation, and disease diagnosis has gradually become an alternative for accurate diagnosis and treatment using echocardiography. This work discusses the current application of artificial intelligence in echocardiography technology, its limitations, and future development directions.
Keywords: Artificial intelligence (AI); Echocardiography; Functional evaluation; Normalization; Segmentation.
1. Application of artificial intelligence (AI) in echocardiography is now widely studied, and AI technique has the potential to optimize the diagnostic potential of echocardiography.2. Application of artificial intelligence in echocardiography is important in the following aspects: recognizing the standard section, cardiac cavity automatic segmentation, functional left ventricle assessment, and cardiac disease diagnosis.3. Standardized data collection and image annotation are essential for artificial intelligence in echocardiography.
