Research focus

The thesis examines how object detection can identify suspected kidney stones in ultrasound imagery and support a measurement workflow.

Technical work

The project covers dataset preparation, image preprocessing, object detection, model evaluation, and web-based system integration.

  • Prepare and structure ultrasound image data
  • Evaluate detection behavior and measurement logic
  • Translate experiments into a usable decision-support interface

Product perspective

Beyond model performance, the work asks how an AI experiment can become a legible system for human review without overstating what the model can decide.

Evaluation snapshot

The academy portfolio documents 3,006 training images, 971 validation images, and 1,023 test images, with a reported all-classes mAP@0.5 of 0.96. These are research-prototype results, not a clinical claim.
