NIH-funded research uses AI to accelerate heart disease diagnosis and treatment
Researchers at Kennesaw State University are using AI to improve heart disease diagnosis and treatment by analyzing 3D medical images and simulating heart function. The project, funded by the NIH, aims to create patient-specific models that can help doctors make more informed decisions and test treatment options before surgery.
Researchers at Kennesaw State University are developing an AI-powered system to diagnose and treat heart disease more effectively. The project, led by Assistant Professor Lei Shi, uses generative AI and biomechanical heart modeling to analyze 3D medical images and simulate heart function. This approach can reduce the time required for diagnosis from hours or weeks to milliseconds. The system can create patient-specific models that capture individual differences in heart shape, stiffness, and internal structure. By simulating different treatment options, doctors can evaluate their effectiveness without putting patients at risk. The project is supported by clinicians at Emory University and has the potential to improve patient care and outcomes.
