Hydronephrosis
| Article DOI | 10.1016/j.juro.2015.10.173 |
| Objective | To define sonographic markers for hydronephrotic kidneys that predict need for diuretic nuclear renography |
| AI Approach | SVM |
| Data Source(s) | Institutional series (50 children) |
| Model Input | 131 parameters from 2D sonography: Size (size of collecting system, renal parenchyma), Geographic shape (circularity ratio eccentricity), Curvature descriptors (local curvature) |
| Model Outcome | T1/2 > 20 min T1/2 > 30 min T1/2 > 40 min |
| Model Metrics | T1/2 > 20 min (AUROC = 0.98, accuracy = 96%) T1/2 > 30 min (AUROC = 0.94, accuracy = 78%) T1/2 > 40 min (AUROC = 0.94, accuracy = 78%) |
| Model Usability | NA |
