AI preterm birth predictor put to the test: does image quality matter?
NCT ID NCT07598097
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether an artificial intelligence (AI) model can predict preterm birth from cervical ultrasound images, and if the way the images are taken affects its accuracy. Researchers will collect images from 2000 pregnant women during their routine second-trimester scan. The goal is to understand how different ultrasound settings impact the AI's performance, not to provide a direct treatment.
