Description
Dandan Zhang and colleagues pair AI with a pocket ultrasound probe to screen baby hips, in a 2026 study. A loose hip socket in infancy, if missed, can lead to lasting gait trouble, yet expert scanners and big machines are scarce in poor or remote areas. Their system spots six landmarks in hip images and clips, then measures the two angles doctors use to grade the socket.
Training used close to twelve hundred still images and about five hundred video clips. Against expert hand measures, the system missed by about a degree on the main angle in still mode. A junior doctor using the handheld tool matched expert work closely as well. The authors pitch the kit for wide screening where specialists are few.
