The Role of AI in Ultrasound

Dear Colleagues,

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into medical ultrasound represents a transformative shift in diagnostic imaging, offering unprecedented opportunities to enhance accuracy, efficiency and patient outcomes. This Special Issue aims to explore the cutting-edge advancements and innovative applications of AI technologies in medical ultrasound. By bringing together research, reviews and case studies from leading experts, we seek to highlight the potential of AI to address the current challenges, optimize imaging protocols and unlock new diagnostic possibilities.

The importance of AI in medical ultrasound is multifaceted, encompassing automated image interpretation, improved diagnostic precision and the development of predictive models for patient management. These advancements promise to significantly reduce the variability in ultrasound interpretation and enable more personalized patient care. Furthermore, AI-driven ultrasound can expand access to high-quality diagnostic imaging in resource-limited settings, democratizing healthcare on a global scale.

This Special Issue will serve as a platform for disseminating novel research findings, sharing clinical experiences and discussing future directions in the integration of AI with medical ultrasound. Our goal is to foster a multidisciplinary dialogue that will spur innovation, optimize clinical workflows and ultimately improve patient care. Contributions are welcomed from researchers, clinicians and technologists who are at the forefront of applying AI in ultrasound imaging across various medical specialties.
