A New Generation of Ultrasound: AI-Assisted Analysis
SMRP's Carolinas Chapter is hosting this February 2026 "Lunch and Learn" webinar that is welcome to all of the SMRP community.
Description:
Ultrasound analysis is evolving as asset variability and data volume increase, challenging traditional, experience-driven interpretation methods. In this webinar, UE Systems presents a new generation of ultrasound analysis, powered by AI and designed to assist the analyst by enhancing interpretation rather than replacing expertise.
Imagine having an ultrasound expert at your fingertips at any time. AI provides an on-demand second opinion, trained on 53 years of ultrasound application knowledge, supporting users from beginners establishing reliable baselines to Category II analysts validating conditions and prioritizing anomalies at scale.
By combining human judgment with AI-assisted diagnostics, analysis becomes faster, more repeatable, and more consistent across large asset populations. This session shows how AI helps transform high-frequency ultrasound data into understanding.
