Ultrasound imaging plays an important role in fetal growth and maternal-fetal health evaluation, but due to the complicated anatomy of the fetus and image quality fluctuation, its interpretation is quite challenging. Although deep learning include Co...
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), a sophisticated deep learning technique, have proven highly effective in identifying and classifying abnormalities related to various diseases. The manual classification of these is a hectic and time-consuming pr...
Prenatal healthcare development requires accurate automated techniques for fetal ultrasound image segmentation. This approach allows standardized evaluation of fetal development by minimizing time-exhaustive processes that perform poorly due to human...

Noninvasive fetal ECG (FECG) monitoring holds significant importance in ensuring the normal development of the fetus. Since FECG is usually submerged by maternal ECG (MECG) and background noise in abdominal ECG (AECG), it is challenging to exactly re...
Diffusion MRI (dMRI) offers unique insights into the microstructure of fetal brain tissue in utero. Longitudinal and cross-sectional studies of fetal dMRI have the potential to reveal subtle but crucial changes associated with normal and abnormal neu...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly gaining attention in radiology and cardiology for accurately diagnosing structural heart disease. In this review paper, we first outline the technical background of AI and echocardiography and then present an a...

BACKGROUND: Detection algorithms targeting anatomic landmarks in three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US) volume (three-dimensional US) appear to be a relevant and easy-to-implement option to address junior and occasional operators' difficulties in pro...
Accurate measurement of frontomaxillary facial (FMF) angles in prenatal ultrasound (US) scans plays a pivotal role in the screening of trisomy 21. Nevertheless, this intricate procedure heavily relies on the proficiency of the ultrasonographer and te...
We aimed to develop and evaluate Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) for fetal ultrasound using actionable concepts as feedback to end-users, using a prospective cross-center, multi-level approach. We developed, implemented, and tested a deep-l...
