Echocardiography And Multimodal Imaging Advancements In Cardiac Imaging
Main Article Content
Abstract
One of the technological sectors that has advanced and evolved the fastest in recent decades is echocardiography. As a non-invasive technique at a reasonable price, it also lends itself in the future to increasingly integrated use at the patient's bedside in any clinical approach situation, from emergencies to interventional environments, operating rooms, clinical routine, outpatient clinics, diagnostics, and monitoring of therapies. The equipment's downsizing will enable a deeper and more comprehensive integration with the clinical physical examination (clinical echocardiography), not only by cardiologists but also by the wide range of clinical specialties in medicine and surgery.
This poses significant organizational and training issues to effectively incorporate multimodal imaging and ultrasound diagnostic techniques into the diagnostic and treatment paths of the various subspecialties. Additional developments in portable and miniaturized technologies are also required to achieve reliability at least on par with the highest level of equipment. This collaborative approach to multimodality imaging in cardiology may benefit from artificial intelligence.
