Latest AI and machine learning research in pregnancy for healthcare professionals.
Fetal sleep is a relatively underexplored yet vital aspect of prenatal neurodevelopment. Understanding fetal sleep patterns could provide insights into early brain maturation and help clinicians detect signs of neurological compromise that arise due to fetal hypoxia or fetal growth restriction. This review synthesizes over eight decades of research on the physiological characteristics, ontogeny,...
Trackerless freehand ultrasound reconstruction aims to reconstruct 3D volumes from sequences of 2D ultrasound images without relying on external tracking systems, offering a low-cost, portable, and widely deployable alternative for volumetric imaging. However, it presents significant challenges, including accurate inter-frame motion estimation, minimisation of drift accumulation over long sequen...
