EchoAtlas: A Conversational, Multi-View Vision-Language Foundation Model for Echocardiography Interpretation and Clinical Reasoning.
medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences
2026
Abstract
Echocardiography is the most widely used cardiac imaging modality, yet artificial intelligence-enabled interpretation remains limited by the inability of existing models to integrate visual assessment, quantitative measurement, and clinical reasoning within a unified framework. Here we present EchoAtlas, the first autoregressive vision-language model developed for echocardiographic interpretation. Trained on over 12.9 million question-answer pairs derived from approximately 2 million echocardiogram videos, EchoAtlas achieves 0.966 accuracy on multiple-choice questions in our internal test set and establishes a new state-of-the-art on the public MIMIC-EchoQA benchmark (0.699 vs. 0.508 previously). EchoAtlas also provides accurate quantitative measurements, segment-level regional wall motion assessment, longitudinal comparison, and diagnostic reasoning across diverse question formats - capabilities not previously demonstrated in this domain. These results highlight the potential of autoregressive vision-language models as a foundation for interactive echocardiographic interpretation, representing an early step toward scalable, auditable artificial intelligence systems in cardiology practice.

EchoGraph system for automated quality assessment of echocardiography reports.
NPJ digital medicine

Abstract
Generative AI needs automatic clinical text accuracy metrics, but none exist for echocardiography. To address this, we developed EchoGraph, a BERT-based model trained on 600 densely annotated echocardiography reports from the Mayo Clinic (2017), split 7:2:1 for training, validation, and testing, using a tailored schema with 48,256 entities and 29,731 relations annotated. Sixty random MIMIC-EchoNote reports were annotated (3672 entities and 2360 relations) for external validation. EchoGraph demonstrated strong performance predicting entities (micro F1 0.85) and relations (micro F1 0.70), maintaining performance on external validation (entity micro F1 0.80, relation micro F1 0.52). EchoGraph F1 score showed superior error sensitivity versus RadGraph F1, with 2.8-fold higher slope magnitude (-0.817 vs -0.291) and better variance explained (R2 = 0.803 vs 0.578). EchoGraph offers an effective solution for evaluating language model-based echocardiography applications, supporting more accurate AI-generated reports.
