Ultrasound AI Solutions
Harness AI for intuitive, reproducible, efficient ultrasound
From image acquisition to analysis, our ultrasound AI solutions integrate into every day clinical workflows and augment user skills - reducing cognitive burden while keeping the ultimate decision responsibility with clinicians. Features such as automated image formation, acquisition, measurement and reporting drive productivity. Eliminating the need for manual view selection and visual analysis helps reduce variability between users and supports the expanded use of ultrasound.
AI in Ultrasound
Powered by AI-enabled applications
Philips ultrasound AI capabilities span a user’s end-to-end-imaging needs, from image acquisition and selection, to measurement and quantification, to analysis for clinical decision support. Our AI automates elements of this workflow to help reduce variability and increase productivity.
Demonstrated results
Automatic color flow quantification to assess mitral regurgitation
3D Auto Color Flow Quantification uses AI for fast, easy and reproducible mitral regurgitation (MR) volume to help assess MR severity. It has been proven to work on single, multiple, concentric and eccentric jets. [6]
Fast and accurate abdominal measurements
Auto Measure Abdomen recognizes abdominal anatomy and organ borders and automatically places calipers, reducing intra-operator variability and decreasing measurement time by up to 55% and button pushes for standard measurements by 33%. [7]
AI-powered automated ejection fraction (EF) calculation for objective EF analysis
2D Auto EF Advanced, using AI-based Smart View Select technology, is designed to reduce variability in the calculation of EF from 4CH and/or 2CH views and biplane and improve efficiency through automation. It creates fast, reproducible results and delivers automatic EF analysis for routine and technically difficult cases as part of everyday echo workflow, regardless of clinician experience.
