ACUSON Sequoia 3.5 VB30 4D Heart AI Quick Card
This document will help the user understand the 4D Heart AI feature using the ACUSON Sequoia™ ultrasound system.
Quick Card 4D HeartAI ACUSON Sequoia Ultrasound System 3.5 (VB30) CO 0 4D HeartAI is a clinical application providing AI-driven analysis of cardiac chamber size and function. It quantifies all visible cardiac chambers in 4D transthoracic imaging and performs analysis on visible ventricles in 4D transesophageal imaging. AI-powered analysis includes ejection fractions, volumes, strain, left ventricular (LV) cardiac output, and LV mass. 4D HeartAI is available on images with or without an ECG. Step 1 • Optimize 2D imaging 4D • Launch 4D imaging from the Control Panel • Cine workflow: freeze live 4D image > select 4D HeartAI on the Touch Screen 4D Heart AI • Review workflow: select the 4D image in Review > select 4D HeartAI on the Touch Screen Note: Bullseye analysis is only available from the Review workflow.
