Chennai, Sept. 3 -- Researchers from the IIT-Madras and Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore, have developed a suite of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based tools designed for the early detection, classification, and precise assessment of kidney diseases,which affect millions worldwide.
The collaborative research team created three complementary technologies--a machine learning model that utilizes clinical and laboratory data to predict chronic kidney disease (CKD) risk, a deep learning system trained on over 12,000 images to automatically categorize CT scans into normal kidneys, cysts, stones, or tumors, and an open-source 3D anatomical imaging platform that reconstructs kidneys from CT scans to accurately calculate tumor volume and dis...
