Proceedings of the NHLBI Workshop on Artificial Intelligence in Cardiovascular Imaging: Translation to Patient Care

Artificial intelligence (AI) promises to revolutionize many fields, but its clinical implementation in cardiovascular imaging is still rare despite increasing research. We sought to facilitate discussion across several fields and across the lifecycle of research, development, validation, and implementation to identify challenges and opportunities to further translation of AI in cardiovascular imaging. Furthermore, it seemed apparent that a multidisciplinary effort across institutions would be essential to overcome these challenges. This paper summarizes the proceedings of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute-led workshop, creating consensus around needs and opportunities for institutions at several levels to support and advance research in this field and support future translation.
