Overview

Pelvic imaging includes ultrasound CT and MRI for gynecologic urologic and oncologic indications. It evaluates masses pain and trauma. Imaging guides biopsy and surgical planning.

Gynecologic Applications

Ultrasound is first line for ovarian and uterine pathology. MRI provides detailed characterization of complex adnexal masses. Imaging supports fertility and oncologic management.

Urologic Imaging

CT and ultrasound assess renal and bladder pathology and stones. MRI evaluates prostate and pelvic soft tissue lesions. Imaging guides intervention and surveillance.

Oncologic Staging

Cross sectional imaging stages pelvic malignancies and assesses nodal involvement. PET CT may detect metastatic disease in selected cases. Multidisciplinary review informs treatment planning.

AI for Image Based Kidney Stone Detection

Feb

Overview

AI detects kidney stones on CT and characterizes size and density for management planning. Automated tools speed diagnosis in acute flank pain presentations. Quantitative metrics guide intervention decisions.

Techniques

Segmentation and classification models identify stones and measure dimensions and attenuation. Low dose CT protocols combined with AI maintain sensitivity. Integration with reporting systems streamlines care.

Clinical Impact

Rapid detection reduces time to analgesia and urologic consultation. Automated measurements support decisions on conservative versus interventional management. Follow up imaging tracks stone passage or growth.

Validation

Comparison with manual measurements and clinical outcomes validates utility. External validation across scanners and protocols ensures generalizability. Continuous monitoring maintains performance.
