Artificial Intelligence Improves Apical Four-Chamber Window Quality in Experienced but Not Novice Users
The results provide strong evidence that the immediate effect of AI assistance was associated with longer acquisition times in novice users obtaining A4C windows, with a similar trend among experienced users. AI assistance was also associated with a higher proportion of quality criteria amongst the experienced users, but not the novice users. Therefore, medical educators should consider the experience level of POCUS learners when incorporating AI acquisition features into education and clinical practice.
