ABSTRACT
Echocardiography remains the predominant modality for cardiac imaging. Recent technological advances have led to the availability of new echocardiographic techniques for more accurate quantification of volumes, function, myocardial mechanics, and valvular heart disease. However, in our opinion, the real-world clinical uptake of these techniques has been poor due to limited awareness and familiarity, associated time burden, and issues of variability. Automation represents a potential solution to these issues and has already made routine myocardial strain measurements and 2- and 3-dimensional left ventricular ejection fraction measurements a clinical reality. Further enhancements in automation and data in understudied populations are likely to assist in the uptake of these new quantitative echocardiographic techniques in routine clinical practice. This review discusses current automated quantification techniques in echocardiography and their limitations and describes how these techniques can be incorporated into echocardiography laboratories.
