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...
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...
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).
Fetal echocardiography, a specialized ultrasound application commonly utilized for fetal heart assessment, can greatly benefit from automated segmentation of anatomical structures, aiding operators in their evaluations. We introduce a novel approach ...
