Key Points

Researchers have developed a very innovative method for analysing MRI heart scans with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) technology which could save valuable time and resources and improve patient care...

The teams from the Universities of East Anglia (UEA), Sheffield, and Leeds have created a model that uses AI to examine heart MRI scans in a view known as the four-chamber plane...

This model determines the size and function of the hearts chambers and demonstrates outcomes comparable to those done by doctors but unimaginably faster, said Pankaj Garg, from the University of East Anglias Norwich Medical School..

They also stressed the need for future studies to focus on larger groups of patients from different hospitals, with different types of MRI scanners, and other common diseases seen in medical practice to verify the accuracy...
