Healthineers ... • Utilizes live view recognition for AI-enabled placement of color Doppler region of interest • (ROI) and spectral Doppler sample Saves exam time • Standardizes exams • View recognition for 12 standard transthoracic cardiac views • Reduces user reach and repetitive motion • Flexibility to override auto placement and can • easily switch between auto and manual Improvement in consistency and reproducibility • Available on 5Z1, 5V1, and 8V3 3 Unrestricted © Siemens Healthineers 2024 Speaker Notes: AI Assist utilizes live view recognition to perform AI-enabled placement of color Doppler region of interest (ROI) and spectral Doppler (PW / CW) gate and is available on the 5Z1, 5V1, and 8V3 transducers. View recognition is available for the 12 standard transthoracic cardiac ultrasound views (PLAX, PLAX RVIT, PLAX RVOT, PSAX AV, PSAX, A4C, A5C, A2C, A3C, SUBC 4C, SUBC IVC, and SSN). AI Assist offers flexibility to the user with the ability to override and easily switch between AI-driven and manual placement. Incorporating AI Assist into routine workflow has the potential to save exam time, standardize exams, and improve consistency and reproducibility all while reducing user reach and the risk for repetitive motion injury.

Healthineers ... • As the user scans, AI Assist will automatically recognize the current view; when the user Al Assist adjusts the transducer to a different view, A4C the system will recognize the change TV AV / LVOT MV • Available anatomy changes depending on the view MV+AV Pulm V Al Assist • Views and corresponding anatomy are listed A2C on the touch screen during the exam Select the AI Assist option on the touch TV AV / LVOT MV • screen to turn AI Assist on / off during an exam MV+AV Pulm V 9 Unrestricted © Siemens Healthineers 2024 Speaker Notes: As the user scans, AI Assist will automatically recognize the current view; when the user adjusts the transducer to a different view, the system will recognize the change. Available anatomy changes depending on the view. Views and corresponding anatomy are listed on the touch screen during the exam. In the examples on the slide, the available anatomy points change depending on the views. For example, the A4C view has TV, AV/LVOT, MV, and Pulm V available while the A2C view only has MV available as it is the major structure visualized in the apical 2 chamber view.
