General
Product name Us2.v1
Company Us2.ai
Subspeciality Cardiac
Modality Ultrasound
Disease targeted Heart disease, Pulmonary Hypertension
Key-features Automated measurements include 2-dimensional (cardiac volumes, all 4 chambers of the heart), M-mode (e.g. tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion), spectral Doppler (blood flow across all valves, both PW and CW measurements) and tissue Doppler
Suggested use During: perception aid (prompting all abnormalities/results/heatmaps), report suggestion
Data characteristics
Population Vast majority of adult transthoracic echocardiograms. Not intended for reporting measurements associated with valve disease, pericardial disease, or right-sided hemodynamics (e.g. estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure); intra-cardiac lesions (e.g. tumours, thrombi); and will not report measurements for complex adult congenital heart disease.
