Using ultrasound-based radiomics technology to analyze fetal-lung texture, fetal lungs from pregnancies grouped according to whether they were affected by gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and/or pre-eclampsia (PE) could be distinguished from each other and from fetal lungs of normal pregnancies, and lungs from pregnancies at different gestational ages could be distinguished.
What are the clinical implications of this work?These results support the possibility that this technology may be helpful in non-invasive fetal assessment and prediction of neonatal respiratory complications in women with PE, GDM or their combination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
