AI measurement of echocardiography images
Bundang hospital reported AI heart-image analysis took 1 minute instead of 8–9
Problem
Specialists spent time manually measuring moving heart structures in ultrasound images. Strain analysis also required costly equipment or a separate workstation.
Approach
The hospital used AI software to classify echocardiography images and calculate cardiac measurements automatically. It also provided strain analysis. Clinicians demonstrated the system during a March 2026 hospital visit.
Results
Takeaway
The reported gain concerned image analysis and measurement time. It did not establish an equivalent reduction in the duration of a complete patient examination.
