Abstract

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of developing a deep learning-based algorithm for diagnosing adnexal torsion that incorporates clinical features, sonographic findings, and sonographic images. METHODS: For the development of the machine learning algorithms, retrospective data from 2013 to 2022 were obtained for patients who underwent operative management for concern…
