Evaluating AI-assisted detection of fetal intracranial malformations in prenatal ultrasound practice: a multicentre, self-crossover, randomised controlled trial in China.

AI assistance during prenatal ultrasound shows promise for helping sonographers detect fetal brain malformations more reliably in real-world clinical practice.

The effect of AI-assisted diagnosis on sonographer performance in real-world prenatal settings remains unclear. The record is retained for conservative triage based on its relevance and randomized controlled trial.
