A team of Vanderbilt engineers are working to breach the critical barrier to timely clinical intervention of blindness in preterm infants. One of the major causes of childhood blindness is a rapidly growing retinal vascular disease called Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP). “Clinical intervention options for ROP exist, but our limited… Read More

Segmentation results on two patients (top and bottom rows). For each patient, the machine learning algorithm (convolutional neural network, or CNN, right column) achieves comparable results to manual segmentation by a human expert (middle column). The input ultrasound image is shown on the left column, with the placenta segmentation overlaid… Read More
