Today, various laboratory and instrumental methods are used to diagnose PCOS, includingthe analysis of ultrasound images performed by medical professionals. The peculiarity of such analysis is that it requires high qualification of medical professionals and can be subjective. The aim of this work is to develop a software module based on convolutional neural networks (CNN), which will improve the accuracy and objectivity of diagnosing polycystic disease as one of the clinical manifestations of PCOS. By using CNNs, which have proven to be effective in image processing and classification, it becomes possible to automate the analysis process and reduce the influence of the human factor on the diagnosis result. The article describes a machine learning model based on CNN architecture, which was proposed by the authors for analyzing ultrasound images in order to determine polycystic disease. In addition, the article emphasizes the importance of the interpretability of the CNN model. For this purpose, the Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM) visualization method was used, which allows to identify the image areas that most affect the model's decision and provides clear explanations for each individual prediction.  \n1. INTRODUCTION  \nPolycystic ovary syndrome is one of the most common endocrine pathologies affecting women of reproductive age worldwide.

The prevalence of PCOS is striking, as it affects approximately 5-15% of women of reproductive age (Azziz, 2016; Liu et al., 2021) . Moreover, the range of 5-15% is a kind of averaged range, since different studies give different values. World Health Organization data indicate that 70% of PCOS cases worldwide remain undiagnosed (World Health Organization, 2023) . Despite numerous studies, the exact causes of PCOS are still unknown, but there is a hypothesis that genetic and environmental factors interact (Hoeger et al., 2021) .  \nThe impact of PCOS on women's fertility has important social and demographic implications. Women suffering from this syndrome often face problems with natural conception, and many of them need to resort to the use of assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization. In addition, PCOS is associated with the risk of developing long-term diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, which can negatively affect the quality and duration of life. Early diagnosis of PCOS plays an important role in further treatment and elimination of the disease's consequences (Garad & Teede, 2020) .  \nPCOS is associated with a disorder of folliculogenesis (Rasquin et al., 2022) .
