Two-Plane AI-Assisted Renal Ultrasound for Grading Unilateral Hydronephrosis in Infants: A Single-Center Proof-of-Concept Internal Validation Study.
AI-assisted ultrasound grading could standardize kidney imaging assessment in infants with hydronephrosis.
BACKGROUND: Renal ultrasound is the first-line imaging method for postnatal hydronephrosis, but its severity grading remains partly reader dependent. This single-center proof-of-concept internal validation study suggests that a simplified two-plane AI-assisted workflow could closely match expert consensus grading in selected infants with unilateral.
