Cardiac Guidance
Cardiac guidance and Interpretation by Caption AI includes Caption Guidance and Caption Interpretation AutoEF software.
Cardiac guidance is a real-time AI software that enables the user to obtain different cardiac views through text and icon guidance, and reference images. Cardiac guidance also includes an automatic diagnostic-quality video recording. Cardiac guidance includes automatic saving of videos to the image gallery.
Cardiac interpretation is an automated ejection fraction software that provides an estimated ejection fraction stated as a percentage, along with an indication of the confidence regarding that estimate. The calculation of the estimated ejection fraction is automated based on the algorithm’s processing of the echocardiography images.
The Auto-box placement feature is a new capability within the Cardiac Guidance software that assists medical professionals in the acquisition of the following Color Doppler sub-views: Parasternal Long-Axis at the Aortic Valve (PLAX-AV Color), Parasternal Long-Axis at the Mitral Valve (PLAX-MV Color), Parasternal Long-Axis at the Aortic and Mitral Valves (PLAX-AV/ MV Color), Apical 4- Chamber at the Mitral Valve (AP4-MV Color), Apical 4-Chamber at the Tricuspid Valve (AP4-TV Color), and Apical 5-Chamber at the Aortic Valve (AP5-AV Color). Auto-box placement estimates ideal placement of the color box in for a given color sub-view, while color mode is active. A reference, ideal color sub-view image framing and box placement is provided for the operator to replicate. The AI does not assess the diagnostic quality of the Color Doppler information itself, and the placement of the color box is not AI-driven. Operators must have at least basic training and understanding of Color Doppler ultrasound and are responsible for ensuring that the color box is properly sized and positioned and that the resulting image meets diagnostic standards for Color Doppler
NOTE: The Auto-box placement does not assess the diagnostic quality of the color Doppler information itself, and the placement of the color box is not AI-driven.
