BACKGROUND: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) contributes to over 30% of late-pregnancy stillbirth, yet its diagnosis is challenging because current methods rely on indirect surrogate markers (estimated fetal weight and umbilical artery) that often fail...
INTRODUCTION: Congenital heart defect (CHD) is a significant, rapidly emerging global problem in child health and a leading cause of neonatal and childhood death. Prenatal detection of CHDs with the help of ultrasound allows better perinatal manageme...

Fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) provides a non-invasive means to assess fetal heart health, but isolating the fetal signal from the dominant maternal ECG remains challenging. This study introduces the FHH-AMGNN-HTSOA-ECG-AD method for enhanced fetal ar...
This study evaluated the feasibility of HeartAssist, a novel automated tool designed for classification of fetal cardiac views, annotation of cardiac structures, and measurement of cardiac parameters. Unlike previous AI tools that primarily focused o...

Fetal congenital heart disease (FCHD) represents a serious and prevalent congenital malformation. However, there exist notable regional disparities in the detection rates of fetal heart abnormalities. To enhance the diagnostic capabilities of ultraso...
The capacity to forecast nonreassuring fetal heart (NFH) is essential for minimizing perinatal complications; therefore, this research aims to establish if a machine learning (ML) model can predict NFH. This was a retrospective analysis of informatio...
OBJECTIVE: To use artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically extract video clips of the fetal heart from a stream of ultrasound video, and to assess the performance of these when used for remote second review.
Temporal echocardiography image registration is important for cardiac motion estimation, myocardial strain assessments, and stroke volume quantifications. Deep learning image registration (DLIR) is a promising way to achieve consistent and accurate r...
Fetal echocardiography (ultrasound of the fetal heart) plays a vital role in identifying heart defects, allowing clinicians to establish prenatal and postnatal management plans. Machine learning-based methods are emerging to support the automation of...
BACKGROUND: Developing a combined artificial intelligence (AI) and ultrasound imaging to provide an accurate, objective, and efficient adjunctive diagnostic approach for fetal heart ventricular septal defects (VSD).
