Anatomically intelligent ultrasound tool
Under the brand name of HeartModelAI, a new anatomically intelligent ultrasound (AIUS) tool brings advanced quantification, automated 3D views and robust reproducibility to echocardiology and is Philips’fastest 3D AIUS ultrasound measurement method. Using HeartModelAI, clinicians can quickly, easily and confidently assess disease states, determine treatment, and guide related therapies. In a recent comparison at one hospital, clinicians were able to acquire and analyse the data necessary to calculate the dimensions and volumes of the left atrium and ventricle (LA and LV) between 3 and 6 times faster using 3D measurements and HeartModelAI than with conventional 2D measurements and conventional volume and dimensional analysis. With a rich digital database of anatomical structural models and adaptive system technology, HeartModelAI has access to advanced clinical information that automatically adapts to variability in patient anatomy. This knowledge-based identification and patient-specific adaptation provides proven quantification of the left ventricle and atrium, and display of routine apical views. HeartModelAI is part of a suite of new tools and technologies available on Philips’EPIQ 7 ultrasound system which has been designed to enhance automation and reproducibility. HeartModelAI helps to make the collecting of critical cardiac ultrasound measurements easier and more reproducible, which will not only enable time savings, but will hopefully extend the adoption of 3D echocardiography exams to more clinicians.
