Artificial Intelligence for Detecting Fetal Orofacial Clefts and Advancing Medical Education

Researchers developed an AI system that can detect fetal orofacial clefts in ultrasound images with over 93% sensitivity and 95% specificity, matching senior radiologist performance. The system was trained on 45,139 ultrasound images from 9,215 fetuses across 22 hospitals and can also improve junior radiologist diagnostic accuracy by 6%.
