ObjectiveTo identify high-grade hydronephrosis from renal ultrasound extracted features
AI ApproachSVM
Data Source(s)Single institutional series (592 patients)
Model InputRadiomic quantitative features from renal ultrasound including contrast, correlation, difference entropy/energy, and gray-level co-occurrence matrix
Model OutcomeHigh vs. Low grade hydronephrosis
Model MetricsAUC 0.86, sensitivity 76%, specificity 86%
Model UsabilityNA
AI = Artificial intelligence, SVM = Support vector machines, AUC = Area under the receiver operator characteristic
