Abstract
Population aging has driven a rise in heart failure cases, increasing the clinical burden on cardiac diagnostics. As a first-line imaging method, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) faces limitations due to operator dependence, patient variability, and workflow inefficiencies. Meanwhile, advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic ultrasound systems offer new potential pathways toward automated diagnosis. This review examines the current landscape of AI-based image analysis and robotic-assisted echocardiography. It presents a detailed analysis of advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) applied to echocardiography and the evolution of robotic ultrasound systems, aiming to introduce a discussion on semantic-to-motion mapping. By synthesizing recent progress and outlining future directions, we can correctly recognize the current maturity level of artificial intelligence development in the field of ultrasound examination and prepare well for the subsequent work.
