Multimodal AI System for the Rapid Diagnosis and Surgical Prediction of Necrotizing Enterocolitis

The rapid diagnosis and surgical prediction of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remain a challenge because its complex pathogenesis has not been completely elucidated, and no single medical examination is specific for diagnosing NEC. Artificial intelligence (AI) has proven the robustness of multivari...
