EchoPrime: A Multi-Video View-Informed Vision-Language Model for Comprehensive Echocardiography Interpretation

Understand

Echocardiography is the most widely used cardiac imaging modality, capturing ultrasound video data to assess cardiac structure and function.

• Artificial intelligence (AI) in echocardiography has the potential to streamline manual tasks and improve reproducibility and precision.
• However, most echocardiography AI models are single-view, single-task systems that do not synthesize complementary information from multiple views captured during a full exam, and thus lead to limited performance and scope of applications.
• To address this problem, we introduce EchoPrime, a multi-view, view-informed, video-based vision-language foundation model trained on over 12 million video-report pairs.
