Congenital heart defect (CHD) refers to the overall structural abnormality of the heart or large blood vessels in the chest cavity. It is the most common type of fetal congenital defects. Prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart disease can improve the...
This work is devoted to the problems of one of the most common screening examinations used in medical practice: fetal cardiotocography (CTG). The technology of ultrasonic monitoring of fetal heart rate (HR) variations has been used for more than 70 y...
Accurate segmentation of fetal heart in echocardiography images is essential for detecting the structural abnormalities such as congenital heart defects (CHDs). Due to the wide variations attributed to different factors, such as maternal obesity, abd...
Large scale early scanning of fetuses via ultrasound imaging is widely used to alleviate the morbidity or mortality caused by congenital anomalies in fetal hearts and lungs. To reduce the intensive cost during manual recognition of organ regions, man...
Image segmentation is the pixel-by-pixel detection of objects, which is the most challenging but informative in the fundamental tasks of machine learning including image classification and object detection. Pixel-by-pixel segmentation is required to ...

This paper proposes an ultrasound video interpretation algorithm that enables novel classes or instances to be added over time, without significantly compromising prediction abilities on prior representations. The motivating application is diagnostic...
In fetal cardiology, imaging (especially echocardiography) has demonstrated to help in the diagnosis and monitoring of fetuses with a compromised cardiovascular system potentially associated with several fetal conditions. Different ultrasound approac...
