The role of Artificial Intelligence in the Echocardiography workflow
According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 17.9 million people die of cardiovascular diseases each year. Among the tests to diagnose and follow up patients with suspected or confirmed heart disease, echocardiography is by far the most frequently prescribed examination after electrocardiography.
The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) can help to standardise the acquisition of the images and to speed up and increase the reproducibility of the measurements. By standardising and automating the processes, a faster workflow is achieved while maintaining the quality of the exam and reducing operator stress. Let us see how the technology will prove itself in practice.

BreastNav™ MRI
With the aim of integrating and implementing the standard US second-look, BreastNav™ MRI technology allows to execute the fusion imaging technique combining MRI and Ultrasound methodologies. Dr. Garlaschi will present a live case of particular interest from its department and will provide a practical demonstration of the technology.

Value of Artificial Intelligence in Breast Fusion Imaging
With BreastNav™ MRI technology, Esaote has taken a new step in the Cross-modality Imaging by enabling the fusion between prone MRI and supine Ultrasound thanks to a 3D adaptative model based on Artificial Intelligence. Dr. Fachinetti will talk about the benefit of the Cross-Modality Imaging in Breast application to help in second-look US examinations and will present some clinical cases acquired in her department. Everything is followed by a practical demonstration of the technology.

MyLab™9, Uncompromised Ease-of-Use
A new technique of ultrasound imaging optimization has recently been developed, starting with a concept as simple as innovative: image optimization and hemodynamic analysis are obtained in real time with operator control using a simple and direct method.

MyLab™9, Beyond Performance and Value
Ultrasound that allow us to obtain information about the dimensions, morphology and structure of lesions which are identified during the examinations and about their macro- and microcirculatory vascularization; as well as to acquire information on the characteristics of stiffness of the tissues.

MyLab™9, Performance without Compromise
In radiology every day’s clinical practice, Ultrasound today has to fulfill two main clinical needs: Image Quality and Usability. Custom automation tools allow images to be refined according to each physician's needs, taking full advantage of the performance of the unit.
