Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Fetal cleft lip is a common congenital defect. Considering the delicacy and difficulty of observing fetal lips, we have utilized deep learning technology to develop a new model aimed at quickly and accurately assessing the development of fetal lips during prenatal examinations. This model can detect ultrasound images of the fetal lips and classify them, aiming to provide a more objective prediction for the development of fetal lips.
