Study: Artificial Intelligence increases the ability of doctors to discover innate heart defects

A recent study, presented at the annual meeting of the Association of Mother and Braai medicine in the US state of Colorado, showed the role of artificial intelligence in improving the ability of doctors to discover birth defects during routine expansion during pregnancy. Congenital heart defects – heart deformity that exist from birth – are the most common species, as centers of control and disease prevention indicate that about 1 in 4 children is born with a defect in the heart that requires surgery or medical intervention during the first year of their lives. Although progress in prenatal healthcare, innate heart defects remain below the required level during routine -ul rates. In the new study, 14 doctors specializing in gynecology, obstetricity, mother and fetus, who have experiences between a year and over 30 years, have checked 200 photos of ultrasound, with and without using an advanced artificial intelligence program. The results showed that the program significantly improved the doctors’ ability to discover the alleged cases, regardless of the level of their experiences or specialties, and the confidence of doctors to discover these defects, and the time they took to determine whether the condition was injured or not. Low risk pregnancy said that the lead author of the study, “Jennifer Lam-Ranzin”, a specialist in mother and fetus medicine and a clinical assistant professor to Mount Cenai University Medicine, said that half of the prenatative ultrasound tests in the United States are judged by non-specialists, including can be trained to accurately explain these investigations. “This explains the reason for the low ability to discover birth defects, even in developed countries such as the United States,” she added. The researchers pointed out that most of the congenital heart defects occur in cases of pregnancy that are considered low risk, which means that the pregnant woman is often under the protection of a gynecologist and obstetrician and not a specialist of mother and fetus medicine who has more experience to discover these defects. “So we have designed the artificial intelligence program in collaboration with experts to improve the discovery rates, even among non-specialists, and to achieve an early diagnosis to improve the results,” she added. The study highlights the important role that artificial intelligence can play in improving prenatal health care, especially in the field of detection of birth defects that can be life -threatening. These results are expected to lead to changes in clinical practices, as artificial intelligence can become a standard instrument in routine pregnancy tests. The researchers said that artificial intelligence with the increasing dependence on technology in the medical field can contribute to reducing gaps in healthcare, especially in areas suffering from a lack of specialists, and can also help improve birth results through early diagnosis and rapid intervention.
