AI takes on heart scans: could slash waiting times?
NCT ID NCT06061822
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AI-assisted cardiac magnetic resonance imaging
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could make heart scans faster and more widely available, reducing long wait times for patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (150 participants) comparing AI to human experts. The AI may not match expert quality in all cases, and results may not apply to all hospitals.
