VUR grading, VUR + UTI.

Article DOIhttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.eclinm.2024.102466
ObjectiveTo develop and validate a deep-VCUG with ensemble learning for automatic VUR grading from VCUG images
AI ApproachCNN, Ensemble learning
Data Source(s)Multi-institutional series (1948 images, from 5 institutions)
Model Input512 x 512 pixels VCUG images
Model OutcomeUnilateral and Bilateral VUR, VUR Grade
Model MetricsUnilateral VUR: AUC of 0.96 (internal), AUC of 0.94 (external)
Bilateral VUR: AUC of 0.96 (internal), 0.92 (external)
Model UsabilityCode is publicly available. Dataset is available upon-request.

AI = Artificial intelligence, CNN = Convolutional neural network, VCUG = Voiding cystourethrogram, VUR = Vesicoureteral Reflux, AUC = Area under the receiver operator characteristic
