AI echo INSIGHT study: A prospective blinded randomized trial of artificial intelligence echocardiogram interpretation.
AI-generated echocardiogram reports may reduce turnaround time and workload, though human oversight remains essential.
This trial protocol describes a prospective randomized blinded study that will evaluate whether AI-generated preliminary echocardiogram reports can reduce substantial changes on cardiologist finalization compared to human-generated preliminary reports, across 1,200 consecutive TTEs. The design addresses a critical scalability gap given 30 million+ annual TTEs globally and provides the first rigorous prospective evaluation of AI-assisted cardiac imaging interpretation.
