Abstract

BACKGROUND: Many screening and diagnostic methods are currently available for biliary atresia (BA), but the early and accurate diagnosis of BA remains a challenge with existing methods. This study aimed to use deep learning algorithms to intelligently analyze the ultrasound image data, build a BA ultrasound intelligent diagnostic model based on the convolutional neural network, and realize an intelligent diagnosis of BA.
