Artificial Intelligence Empowers Novice Users to Acquire Diagnostic-Quality Echocardiography.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiac ultrasound exams provide real-time data to guide clinical decisions but require highly trained sonographers. Artificial intelligence (AI) that uses deep learning algorithms to guide novices in the acquisition of diagnostic echocardiographic studies may broaden access and improve care.

Objectives

The objective of this trial was to evaluate whether nurses without previous ultrasound experience (novices) could obtain diagnostic-quality acquisitions of 10 echocardiographic views using AI-based software.

Methods

This noninferiority study was prospective, international, nonrandomized, and conducted at 2 medical centers, in the United States and France, from November 2023 to August 2024. Two limited cardiac exams were performed on adult patients scheduled
