Using Artificial Intelligence to Screen for Hip Dysplasia

"The hip ultrasound is performed using a handheld device (Exo Iris) that uses a pocket-sized ultrasound probe and is run through an application on an IoS (Apple mobile) operation system. . A real-time algorithm detects and records the anatomical landmarks. When there are enough images for analysis the operator is notified that the scan is complete. From here, the images are then classified as: the hips as healthy, follow-up recommended, or suboptimal (repeat scan)."
