🚨 HOT OFF THE PRESS! 🚨 New guidance from the American Society of Echocardiography @ASE360 for Cardiac Ultrasound Artifacts 🫀📡 ➡️bit.ly/4tKDSvf 👉 A must-read for everyone in #EchoFirst! 🔍 What is an artifact? ➡️ An imaging feature that does NOT reflect true anatomy/pathology ➡️ Common, expected, and rooted in ultrasound physics ⚙️ 💡 Why this matters ⚠️ Artifacts can mimic disease → misdiagnosis → inappropriate management ⚠️ Present across ALL modalities: • 2D 🖥️ • Spectral Doppler 📈 • Color Doppler • 3D echo 🧊 📘 What this guideline delivers ✅ Standardized, structured approach to artifacts ✅ Clear explanation of: • Appearance 👁️ • Mechanism ⚙️ • Clinical impact 🏥 • Real-world cases 🧾 • Mitigation strategies 🛠️ 🧠 Also covers 🔹 “Artifact-like” phenomena 🔹 Interference from external devices & equipment 📡 🎯 Key takeaway 👉 Artifacts are inevitable—but misinterpretation is not 👉 Mastering them = safer, smarter echo practice 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️ Who should read this? ➡️ Sonographers ➡️ Cardiologists ➡️ Trainees ➡️ Anyone interpreting cardiac ultrasound 📢 Elevate your imaging game. Recognize. Understand. Mitigate. #CardioX #Cardiotwitter @JournalASEcho #ACCFIT

This document provides a uniform & structured approach to managing ultrasound artifacts, including the appearance of the artifact, the mechanism behind the artifact generation, the clinical impact of the artifact on the diagnosis, & examples of real cases. bit.ly/4tKDSvf

Thank you, #ASEIRT Partners and faculty for your participation at ASE’s 2026 IRT Think Tank Weekend in Boston! 🗓️SAVE THE DATE: The 2027 IRT Think Tank will be held March 12-14, 2027, at the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, AZ. See you next year!

The final 2026 #ASEIRT Think Tank session is exploring emerging imaging demands in structural heart care, challenges in standardization, and opportunities to strengthen clinical pathways and workflow efficiency.

In the penultimate #ASEIRT session Dr. @CynthiaTaub said, “ASE represents community, connectivity, credibility, and is a catalyst in #CVUltrasound. ASE guidelines are an important representation of what we do as a community.”

HAPPENING NOW: ASE advocacy experts are providing attendees with an update on #CVUltrasound legislative and regulatory work, including current initiatives, ongoing challenges, and upcoming opportunities. #ASEIRT

ASE leadership, faculty, and industry colleagues are ready to dive into Day 2 of the #ASEIRT Think Tank. On today’s agenda: ➡️Advocacy Update ➡️Guidelines into Practice: Translating Standards into Real-World Care ➡️Structural Heart Imaging: From Detection to Durable Outcomes

“Innovation at Scale: Equity, Access, and Real-World Adoption”. This #ASEIRT session highlights how AI, POCUS, workflow optimization, & decision support technologies can expand access to high-quality imaging while also focusing on maintaining quality.

#ASEIRT Think Tank “Meet the Experts” sessions are intimate, small-table discussions designed to drive candid and solution-oriented conversations between faculty and industry.

#ASEIRT attendees are discussing the key drivers of inconsistency in #CVUltrasound & exploring strategies to strengthen confidence in echo data, including: ➡️Guideline alignment ➡️Reporting standardization ➡️Contrast utilization ➡️Optimization tools ➡️Workflow support

HAPPENING NOW: #ASEIRT Keynote Speaker Dr. Lee Fleisher, former Chief Medical Officer at CMS & Founding Principal of Rubrum Advising, is framing the future of #CVUltrasound through a national policy lens exploring healthcare standards, reimbursement, & quality measurement.

The first #ASEIRT Think Tank session of the day explores echocardiography’s role across the patient journey. This session examines how clinicians and industry can work together to strengthen care pathways, improve workflows, & deliver more consistent patient outcomes.

Good morning from Boston’s Seaport District! Day 1 of the 2026 #ASEIRT Think Tank is underway. ASE President @DavidWienerMD and IRT Committee Chair @LindaGillamMD are setting the stage for the weekend’s discussions.

ASE’s 2026 IRT Think Tank is this weekend in Boston! We’re bringing together 125+ industry leaders, practitioners, & scientists from #ASEIRT and Accelerator Partners for 2 days of insights, networking, & discussions shaping the future of #CVUltrasound. bit.ly/4iJBbEe
