iMerit’s Healthcare & Life Sciences division is partnering with a leading global technology company on a short, paid project aimed at improving the safety, accuracy, and inclusivity of emerging clinical AI tools.
Role Overview:
We are seeking a highly skilled Cardiac Sonographers to support a high-complexity structural heart valve initiative within our AI Center of Excellence (CoE). This role focuses on performing precise cardiac ultrasound (echocardiography) annotations to enable the development and validation of advanced AI models for structural heart applications.
Key Responsibilities:
* Perform detailed annotation of cardiac ultrasound (echo) datasets.
* Identify and delineate valve leaflets, annulus, and landing zones with high accuracy.
* Conduct clinically relevant measurements, including annular dimensions and spatial relationships.
* Ensure annotations reflect anatomical variability and account for image quality challenges.
* Translate clinical interpretation into structured, high-quality annotated datasets.
* Collaborate with clinical, data science, and AI teams to maintain annotation standards and consistency.
Required Qualifications:
* Strong background in cardiac anatomy and structural heart disease.
* Professional experience as a cardiac sonographer, cardiologist, or cardiac imaging specialist.
* Mandatory prior experience in medical imaging annotation.
* Demonstrated ability to interpret echocardiographic images and convert findings into precise annotation outputs.
Preferred Qualifications:
* Experience in device planning and valve deployment analysis.
* Familiarity with annotation and imaging tools such as Savant, ITK-SNAP, and 3D Slicer.
* Experience supporting AI or machine learning initiatives in healthcare imaging.
This is a short-term contract role requiring approximately 4–8 hours per week, starting in late February. The ideal candidate brings both deep clinical expertise and hands-on annotation experience to support high-precision AI development in structural heart care.
