That would require a dataset of ultrasounds from people having active myocardial infarctions, which we don’t have, and would take at least a year of academic coordination to assemble.

The current datasets are just labeled anatomy at end systole and diastole.

Hmm, curious. I suppose I would wonder, then, if there's no dataset how any algorithm could be developed. What I mean is ... once you've developed something, how do you test how well it performs? How do you analyze the effectiveness of the algorithm, the false positive rate, etc.

I could assemble a small dataset of less than a hundred ultrasounds to test the algorithm. A big dataset that could train an AI would require quite the effort.

Great questions, and you highlight the need for shared ultrasound data.
