FetCAT: Cross-attention fusion of transformer-CNN architecture for fetal brain plane classification with explainability using motion-degraded MRI.

PloS one
Fetal brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been recognized as a vital diagnostic tool for identifying neurological anomalies during pregnancy. Accurate classification of fetal MRI planes is essential for effective prenatal neurological assessme...

Evaluating the reliability and clinical utility of artificial intelligence in first trimester prenatal screening and noninvasive prenatal testing.

Scientific reports
Artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT-4o are increasingly utilized in prenatal care. However, their reliability and clinical applicability for healthcare providers in first-trimester screening remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate th...

Diffusion MRI of the prenatal fetal brain: a methodological scoping review.

NeuroImage
BACKGROUND: Fetal diffusion-weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (dMRI) represents a promising modality for the assessment of white matter fiber organization, microstructure and development during pregnancy. Over the past two decades, research using t...

A novel machine-learning algorithm to screen for trisomy 21 in first-trimester singleton pregnancies.

Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology : the journal of the Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology
BACKGROUND: Antenatal screening for Trisomy 21 (T21) in the UK is performed primarily in the first trimester. Nuchal Translucency (NT), gestational age, Free β-HCG and PAPP-A are used in combination, creating the 'combined' test. Multivariate Gaussia...

Towards automatic US-MR fetal brain image registration with learning-based methods.

NeuroImage
Fetal brain imaging is essential for prenatal care, with ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) providing complementary strengths. While MRI has superior soft tissue contrast, US offers portable and inexpensive screening of neurological...

Bridging gaps in artificial intelligence adoption for maternal-fetal and obstetric care: Unveiling transformative capabilities and challenges.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
PURPOSE: This review aims to comprehensively explore the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to an area that has not been traditionally explored in depth: the continuum of maternal-fetal health. In doing so, the intent was to examine this phy...

Precision fetal cardiology detects cyanotic congenital heart disease using maternal saliva metabolome and artificial intelligence.

Scientific reports
Prenatal sonographic diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD) can lead to improved morbidity and mortality. However, the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound, the sole prenatal screening tool, remains limited. Failed prenatal or early newborn detecti...

Prediction of chromosomal abnormalities in the screening of the first trimester of pregnancy using machine learning methods: a study protocol.

Reproductive health
BACKGROUND: For women in the first trimester, amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling is recommended for screening. Machine learning has shown increased accuracy over time and finds numerous applications in enhancing decision-making, patient care,...

Machine learning in prenatal MRI predicts postnatal ventricular abnormalities in fetuses with isolated ventriculomegaly.

European radiology
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the intracranial structures and brain parenchyma radiomics surrounding the occipital horn of the lateral ventricle in normal fetuses (NFs) and fetuses with ventriculomegaly (FVs), as well as to predict postnatally enlarged lat...
