Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of artificial intelligence algorithms on image quality in echocardiography.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study population will be recruited from appointed patients at the Clinic of Cardiology, St. Olavs Hospital. After being informed about the study, all patients giving informed consent and meeting the eligibility requirements will undergo their standard clinical echocardiographic exam performed by a sonographer at the clinic. Two additional examinations will then be performed by a different sonographer and an expert cardiologist, respectively.

In one of the study arms the sonographer randomized to perform the second exam will use the AI algorithm (intervention).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

With AI algorithm

In the "With AI algorithm" arm, the sonographer will perform the echocardiographic exam using the AI algorithm.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

AI algorithm for apical foreshortening in echocardiography

Intervention Type OTHER

The algorithm is based on artificial intelligence, giving the sonographer performing the echocardiographic exam real-time feedback on left ventricular apical foreshortening.The algorithm is developed using deep learning techniques by technologists at the Department of Circulation and Medical Imaging, NTNU.

Without AI algorithm

In the "Without AI algorithm", the echocardiographic exam will be performed without the use of the AI algorithm.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
