Automated Volumetric Measurements for Early Diagnosis and Identification of Fetal Hydrocephalus Requiring Intervention.

Dr. Andreas Rauchecker is an assistant professor at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Dr. Rauchecker’s study entitled “Automated Volumetric Measurements for Early Diagnosis and Identification of Fetal Hydrocephalus Requiring Intervention” is driven by the power of automated deep learning-based segmentation techniques. His proposal seeks to revolutionize the measurement of ventricular volumes and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) spaces across diverse fetal populations. This approach will help reshape the approach to early surgical intervention for fetal hydrocephalus.
