Explainable AI Model Detects Placental Biomarkers for Preeclampsia

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and UPMC developed a machine learning model to help pathologists identify signs of preeclampsia in placental tissue. By analyzing the spatial organization and distribution of extravillous trophoblast cells relative to red blood cells, the algorithm calculates a morphology separation score to detect diseased vessels and explain the biological features behind its diagnosis.

What remains unfinishedExamining placentas can identify risks of postpartum complications, but a profound shortage of trained perinatal pathologists means less than 20% of placentas are currently screened in the United States after delivery.
