Abstract

PURPOSE: In obstetric ultrasound (US) scanning, the learner's ability to mentally build a three-dimensional (3D) map of the fetus from a two-dimensional (2D) US image represents a major challenge in skill acquisition. We aim to build a US plane localisation system for 3D visualisation, training, and guidance without integrating additional sensors.
