Helping Doctors Diagnose PUV from Ultrasounds using Computer Vision & AI
Affecting nearly 1 in 5000 to 1 in 8000 male babies per year, Posterior Urethral Valve (PUV) Syndrome condition creates blockages in the baby’s bladder and is the most common cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to urinary tract obstruction in children. The condition is often caught during fetal ultrasounds, but can be missed without proper training - an inefficiency that could potentially lead to lifelong health issues, or premature death, for children effected with the condition.
