Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Cardiovascular Imaging
Karthik Seetharam, James K. Min
Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in Western countries and leads to a spectrum of complications that can complicate patient management. The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has garnered significant interest in many industries, and the field of cardiovascular imaging is no exception. Machine learning (ML) especially is showing significant promise in various diagnostic imaging modalities. As conventional statistics are reaching their apex in computational capabilities, ML can explore new possibilities and unravel hidden relationships. This will have a positive impact on diagnosis and prognosis for cardiovascular imaging. In this in-depth review, we highlight the role of AI and ML for various cardiovascular imaging modalities.
