Evaluation of XAI-assisted Spina Bifida Diagnosis

The study aims to improve the accuracy of detecting spina bifida during early ultrasound scans. To achieve this, an AI model has been developed to provide feedback about the presence of spina bifida. A RCT has been designed to compare the effectiveness of AI feedback with no AI feedback.

Detailed Description

The study aims to improve the accuracy of detecting spina bifida during early ultrasound scans. To achieve this, an AI model has been developed to provide feedback about the presence of spina bifida. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) has been designed to compare the effectiveness of AI feedback with no AI feedback. Forty fetal medicine specialists are randomly assigned to receive either the AI feedback or no feedback, and the two groups are compared to determine if the feedback improved the accuracy of detecting spina bifida.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: AI feedback
The participant will receive AI feedback upon completing the task of analyzing 20 images. The AI feedback will include a prediction (Normal/Spina Bifida) along with a confidence score ranging from 0.0 to 1.0, where 0.0 indicates the lowest confidence and 1.0 indicates the highest confidence.
AI feedback
Placebo Comparator: No AI feedback
The participants will complete the task of analyzing 20 images without any AI feedback.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Evaluation of XAI-assisted spina bifida diagnosis
Time Frame: One month after the survey is distributed.
The study aims to evaluate whether AI feedback improve the accuracy of diagnosing spina bifida by comparing the number of correct and incorrect responses in a task involving 20 images.
One month after the survey is distributed.
