AI is transforming ultrasound today—not just in the future. At the Samsung Lunch Symposium during , which took place on January 27 – February 1 in Denver, Colorado, Dr. Ruben Quintero and Dr. Eftichia Kontopoulos from The Fetal Institute took the stage to discuss how Samsung’s AI technology is revolutionizing prenatal diagnostics and enhancing clinical workflows.
