North Carolina-based Core Sound Imaging will preview its Studycast Integration Program at the International Conference on automated software engineering (ASE) 2023.
The programme provides artificial intelligence (AI) evaluation of cardiac images and enhances the cardiology imaging workflow, allowing a cardiologist to choose from a menu of AI vendors and selectively utilIse these AI tools on one or all exams. The cardiologist can then compare results from different vendors, to evaluate and build confidence in AI technologies.
The new integration follows increased interest in AI in the medical imaging space. Core Sound is set to meet the market demand for Studycast clients. While several vendors are in the final stages of partner agreements. The company stated they will make further announcements as agreements are finalised.
Core Sound Imaging COO and founding partner Laurie Smith said: "Let's take an AI vendor who has a tool to calculate strain values based on the images acquired. Within hours, a clinic can be set up to utilise this vendor's analysis tool.
“The clinic may benefit because their technologists have not yet been trained to acquire strain values, or perhaps they have not added this functionality to their imaging machine yet. It's easy to see how this tool for early heart disease detection can ultimately improve patient care."
According to a report by GlobalData, the use of AI is growing in several fields globally. The market is forecast to reach sales of $93bn in 2023, up 12% from 2022. AI in medical devices is expected to become a key driver of medical device innovation and the use of AI will likely increase in 2023.
