AI measurements of heart function from MRI scans show stronger link to patient survival than clinician assessments

Source Summary

Research from City St George's, University of London and University College London, published in The Lancet Digital Health, found that AI measurements of heart function from MRI scans are more strongly linked to patient survival than measurements made by clinicians. The findings suggest AI could serve as a useful first-line approach for measuring heart function.

Why it matters

The research demonstrates that AI-based cardiac measurements may improve prognostic accuracy and clinical decision-making in heart disease assessment.
