The AI tools also lessen the ergonomic load on the sonographers because it's reducing the amount of hand interaction with the ultrasound system.
The AcuNav Lumos fourth-generation 4D ICE ultrasound catheter allows interventional cardiologists and electrophysiologists to treat patients who otherwise wouldn't be able to undergo structural heart interventions. That includes patients with TEE or general anesthesia contraindications as well as patients with tricuspid regurgitation.

The catheter also allows for better MPR biplane imaging even without an ECG and improves leak detection with real-time 4D color Doppler.
Snyder believes that the next big advancement in ultrasound is going to be the implementation of AI for measurements, image optimization, and diagnostic determinations. He does acknowledge that there still are skeptics out there who fear that AI will replace their jobs.
“Rest assured, every action taken by the AI requires user confirmation,” he emphasized. “This technology is designed to enhance workflow and improve measurement accuracy, not to replace anyone. Our focus is on ensuring the best possible outcomes for patients by integrating tools that support and empower clinicians.”
