AI GLS Strain Imaging in Multi-Vendor Comparison Study
Ten years after the first head-to-head comparison of two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography derived GLS measurements obtained with software solutions from different vendors, the authors compared again GLS results from 3-vendor-specific and 6-vendor agnostic software solutions in a cohort of patients and volunteers with a wide range of LV function.
Us2.ai’s Feature in this Study:
Us2.ai was among the vendor-agnostic solutions included in this updated comparison. GLS analysis with our fully-automated AI software demonstrated:
- Zero operator input required, operating without any human intervention
- High agreement with traditional semi-automated speckle- tracking software solutions, validating clinical accuracy.
- Support for broader clinical adoption, by reducing inter-operator variability and enabling scalable strain imaging across platforms.
