AI takes on heart scans: could slash waiting times?

NCT ID NCT06061822

First seen May 17, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study tests whether artificial intelligence can plan cardiac MRI scans as accurately as expert radiographers. 150 adults will receive both an AI-planned and a standard scan, and doctors will compare the image quality and time taken. If successful, AI could help reduce long waiting lists for heart imaging.
