The 21st Annual Feigenbaum Lecture: Beyond Artificial: Echocardiography from Elegant Images to Analytic Intelligence

Abstract:
Echocardiography has always been a journey from scientific observation to clinical application. Whether in theranostics, understanding the performance of the systemic right ventricle, or uncovering the predictive power of echocardiographic data in congenital heart disease, the author's experiences highlight how echocardiographers at the frontier of scientific inquiry making observations today are inundated with data. It becomes apparent that new clinical applications, if they are to be successful, depend more than ever on effective management of the information we collect. In light of this realization, the 21st Feigenbaum lecture explores analytic intelligence-one path echocardiography might now take on its march from observation to application.

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
