What this report is based on:

Beyond the Spec Sheets:
Clinical Validation

When comparing cardiac ultrasound systems, it’s difficult to know how they perform in real patient scenarios.

Key questions often go unanswered:

  • Is image quality truly comparable to cart-based systems?
  • Can handheld systems support full cardiac assessments?
  • How accurate are AI-driven measurements?

This report address those questions with real clinical data, not assumptions.

Clinical Benchmark Study Data to Guide Your Decision

Unlike typical buyer’s guides, this report presents quantitative clinical comparisons, including:

  • Real-world workflow impact at the bedside
  • Correlation of AI-based ejection fraction vs gold-standard methods (r = 0.87) 
  • Doppler performance compared to high-end, cart-based ultrasound systems
  • Measurement accuracy and statistical variance (RMSD, bias) 

Validated Across Real Clinical Settings

The benchmarking study reflects real-world use in:

  • Cardiology consult workflows
  • Emergency department evaluations
  • ICU and inpatient rounds 

Demonstrating how ultrasound performance impacts decision-making at the bedside and not just in controlled environments.

How the Kosmos Ultrasound Platform is Closing the Gap

The findings show that modern ultrasound systems can now deliver clinically meaningful cardiac assessments, supporting faster workflows and broader access to imaging.

Some platforms are even demonstrating strong agreement with high-end cart-based systems across key measurements.
