AI Tool Outperforms Clinicians in Predicting Heart Mortality Risk from MRI Scans

A UK-led study published in The Lancet Digital Health reveals an AI tool can predict patient mortality risk from heart MRI scans more accurately and rapidly than experienced clinicians. Analyzing 27,382 patients, the AI processed scans in seconds, focusing on ejection fraction. This development suggests AI could become a valuable first-line assessment tool in cardiology, potentially improving early risk identification and patient outcomes.
