In the newest episode of The Scoop on Ultrasound, we speak with Dr. Effie Andrikopoulou, Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Washington and Medical Director of the Echocardiography Lab at Harborview Medical Center.

Trained in advanced cardiovascular imaging at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and holding an MBA with a focus on innovation, Dr. Andrikopoulou brings a timely and practical perspective on the future of echocardiography. She explains how artificial intelligence is positioned to transform the field and emphasizes the critical role sonographers and clinicians must play in shaping its direction.

Throughout the conversation, she explores both the promise and the ethical complexities of AI in cardiac imaging, highlights the need for equity in algorithm design, and shares how echo labs can start preparing today.
