To assess whether a convolutional neural network (CNN) can be trained via transfer learning to accurately diagnose germinal matrix hemorrhage-intraventricular hemorrhage (GMH-IVH) on cranial ultrasound (CUS) by comparing its performance to that of a board-certified radiologist. Secondary endpoints will include the ability of CNN to grade GMH-IVH severity, identify GMH-IVH on MRI, and assess low-grade GMH-IVH on CUS that cannot reliably be seen by a radiologist. Read More

Cranial ultrasound (CUS) is typically the first imaging modality performed to evaluate challenging neonatal brain pathologies. Accurate and timely interpretation of these is clinically paramount. At many academic institutions, residents are often at the front line of this interpretation during call; with limited exposure a priori to taking call. This educational exhibit aims to provide an overview of cranial ultrasound acquisition, normal anatomy, normal variants, critical pathologies, and reporting guidelines that trainees should know prior to or when on-call.

The goal is to create an easy-to-use reference for typical appearance of the normal sulcation and gyration of the neonatal brain on ultrasound depending on the weekly age of gestation. This will be a pictorial essay of preterm and term neonates who had an unremarkable cranial ultrasound in the first week of life. Two images will be taken: (a) coronal plane depicting the foramen of Monro and third ventricle, and (b) parasagittal (level of caudothalamic groove) planes will be used as they provide the most information in terms of sulcation and gyration. They are also the easiest to reproduce with less inter-operator variability. Cranial ultrasound (CUS) remains to be the most practical and available imaging modality for evaluating the brain of a neonate. Having a reference atlas or infographic matched for gestational age is a helpful tool for screening a myriad of pathologies and will help clinicians and radiologists involved in the care of neonates monitor the development of the neurocranium.
