By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-New research on Cardiovascular Disease s and Conditions - Deep Vein Thrombosis is the subject of a report. According to news originating from Bristol, United Kingdom, by NewsRx correspondents, resear ch stated, "This study evaluates the feasibility of remote deep venous thrombosi s (DVT) diagnosis via ultrasound sequences facilitated by ThinkSono Guidance, an artificial intelligence (AI)-app, for point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). The aim is to assess the effectiveness of AI-guided POCUS conducted by non-specialists in capturing valid ultrasound images for remote diagnosis of DVT." Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the University of B ristol, "Over a 3.5- month period, patients with suspected DVT underwent AI-guide d POCUS conducted by non-specialists using a handheld ultrasound probe connected to the app. These ultrasound sequences were uploaded to a cloud-dashboard for r emote specialist review. Additionally, participants received a formal DVT scans. Patients underwent AI-guided POCUS using handheld probes connected to the AI-ap p, followed by formal DVT scans. Ultrasound sequences acquired during the AI-gui ded scan were uploaded to a cloud-dashboard for remote specialist review, where image quality was assessed, and diagnoses were provided. Among 91 predominantly elderly female participants, 18% of scans were incomplete. Of the rest, 91% had sufficient quality, with 64% categoris ed by remote clinicians as 'compressible' or 'incompressible.' Sensitivity and s pecificity for adequately imaged scans were 100% and 91% , respectively. Notably, 53% were low risk, potentially obviating formal scans. ThinkSono Guidance effectively directed non-specialists, streamlin ing DVT diagnosis and treatment. It may reduce the need for formal scans, partic ularly with negative findings, and extend diagnostic capabilities to primary car e."
