AI better assesses heart function from MRI than clinicians

THE AI ANGLE
Measuring heart function from MRI scans to predict mortality riskA study analyzed cardiac MRI scans from more than 27,000 patients over five years. Deep-learning AI measured ejection fraction and predicted patient survival better than expert clinicians. The automated measurements provide care teams with more consistent risk predictions from heart imaging.
THE TEACHING ANGLE
Students can discuss whether a marginal gain in statistical discrimination justifies adopting automated imaging tools over human clinician assessments.Read the original at medicalxpress.com Generate teaching or study materials
