IIT Madras and CMC Vellore Develop AI Tools for Early Kidney Disease Detection
Researchers from IIT Madras and CMC Vellore have developed three AI-based tools to aid early detection and assessment of kidney diseases. These include a machine learning model predicting chronic kidney disease risk using clinical data, a deep learning system classifying CT scans into normal kidney, cyst, stone, or tumour categories, and a 3D imaging platform creating patient-specific kidney models to assess tumour volume. The tools aim to support earlier diagnosis, potentially slowing disease progression and reducing costly treatments like dialysis.
