How AI is Enhancing Cardiac Imaging: Dr. Campbell Rogers on a WTRF Segment

I recently spoke with WTRF reporter Alex Taylor about how AI is helping clinicians evaluate heart health, especially when it comes to diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD). The segment included interviews with physicians at WVU Medicine Wheeling Hospital, highlighting how AI is supporting patient care in their West Virginia community.

Key Takeaways from the Segment

Traditionally, obtaining a clear view of the arteries often required invasive procedures. With AI-enabled Heartflow Analysis, physicians can better assess blood flow and plaque from coronary CTA scans, supporting more informed decisions and potentially reducing the need for additional testing.

AI can especially enhance imaging by drawing insights from millions of scans. The goal is to augment—not replace—physicians’ clinical judgment, helping them make faster, more confident decisions. This approach may be particularly valuable in rural communities, where access to specialized resources is limited and the impact of heart disease is often greater.
