Two advanced algorithms—one for CAC scores and another for segmenting cardiac chamber volumes—outperformed radiologists when assessing low-dose chest CT scans.

All around the world, people are increasingly wise to the advance of AI. More than a few are growing ever more uneasy about it. And yet workers equipped with AI are both more productive and better at their jobs.
More than two-thirds of U.S. physicians have changed their minds about generative AI over the past year. In doing so, the re-thinkers have raised their level of trust in the technology to help improve healthcare.
Scientists are people too. As such, when engaged in research projects using AI, they must resist the very human impulse to over-delegate tasks to algorithms.
Years will pass before the global economy’s healthcare sector sufficiently leverages AI to build major financial muscle off of it. And even then, industry players are likely to see gains well ahead of hospitals and health systems.
A new scientific statement from the American Heart Association explores the many ways AI and machine learning are being used to improve care for heart patients.

An independent heart team blinded to ICA results was able to deliver helpful guidance for CABG procedures for 99.1% of patients using just CCTA and FFRCT alone. This approach is safe and feasible, researchers wrote, and the next step is to gather additional data.
![Advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models can evaluate cardiovascular risk in routine chest CT scans without contrast, according to new research published in Nature Communications.[1] In fact, the authors noted, the AI approach may be more effective at identifying issues than relying on guidance from radiologists.
