ObjectiveTo classify the severity of prenatal hydronephrosis from renal ultrasound images.
AI ApproachCNN
Data Source(s)Single institutional series (773 patients, 2492 ultrasound images)
Model Input256 x 256 pixel images of renal ultrasound
Model OutcomeClassifying prenatal hydronephrosis:
All grades
High v. low risk hydronephrosis
Also available vs. SFU grades and vs. controls
