GE HealthCare (GEHC) has launched AI software called Caption AI for cardiac assessments using its Vscan Air SL handheld ultrasound scanners.
The software includes an AutoEF feature that automatically calculates ejection fraction, which can save time for clinicians, as well as AutoCapture and Save Best Clip features for acquiring images, GE HealthCare said. Caption AI can also help nonexpert ultrasound users assess patients with real-time visual guidance and prompts on probe movements, and includes a quality meter to ensure that users obtain quality images.
The company said it will debut the technology at the American College of Cardiology 2024 annual meeting to be held April 6 to 8 in Atlanta, GA.
