Furthermore, ongoing ethical discussions often neglect other types of GenAI that have been used to synthesise data (eg, images) for research and practical purposes, which resolve some ethical issues and expose others. We did a scoping review of the ethical discussions on GenAI in health care to comprehensively analyse gaps in the research. To reduce the gaps, we have developed a checklist for comprehensive assessment and evaluation of ethical discussions in GenAI research.

However, despite considerable investment, tangible health-care cost reductions remain unproven. Although AI holds promise, there has been insufficient time for both methodological development and prospective clinical trials to establish its advantage over human interpretations in terms of its effect on patient outcomes. Challenges such as data scarcity, privacy issues, and ethical concerns impede optimal AI training. Furthermore, the absence of a unified model for the complex structure and function of the heart and evolving domain knowledge can introduce heuristic biases and influence underlying assumptions in model development. Integrating AI into diverse institutional picture archiving and communication systems and devices also presents a clinical hurdle. This hurdle is further compounded by an absence of high-quality labelled data, difficulty sharing data between institutions, and non-uniform and inadequate gold standards for external validations and comparisons of model performance in real-world settings. Nevertheless, there is a strong push in industry and academia for AI solutions in medical imaging. This Series paper reviews key studies and identifies challenges that require a pragmatic change in the approach for using AI for cardiac imaging, whereby AI is viewed as augmented intelligence to complement, not replace, human judgement. The focus should shift from isolated measurements to integrating non-linear and complex data towards identifying disease phenotypes—emphasising pattern recognition where AI excels. Algorithms should enhance imaging reports, enriching patients' understanding, communication between patients and clinicians, and shared decision making. The emergence of professional standards and guidelines is essential to address these developments and ensure the safe and effective integration of AI in cardiac imaging.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48534,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Digital Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":23.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142113569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Safety and efficacy of direct rule-out of myocardial infarction by the ARTEMIS algorithm (at a pre-specified probability threshold of <0·5%) were compared with the European Society of Cardiology (ESC)-recommended and the American College of Cardiology (ACC)-recommended 0 h pathways using a single POC high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) measurement (Siemens Atellica VTLi as investigational assay).
