Does a deep-learning algorithm enable novices without ultrasonography experience to acquire diagnostic echocardiograms?
A deep-learning algorithm enables novices to acquire diagnostic echocardiograms, potentially expanding access to cardiac imaging in resource-limited or acute clinical settings.
This DL algorithm allows novices without experience in ultrasonography to obtain diagnostic transthoracic echocardiographic studies for evaluation of left ventricular size and function, right ventricular size, and presence of a nontrivial pericardial effusion, expanding the reach of echocardiography to clinical settings in which immediate interrogation of anatomy and cardiac function is needed and settings with limited resources.
