Fetal echocardiography (FE) is a widely used medical examination for early diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD). The apical four-chamber view (A4C) is an important view among early FE images. Accurate segmentation of crucial anatomical structu...
Fetal yawning is of interest because of its clinical, developmental and theoretical implications. However, the methodological challenges of identifying yawns from ultrasonographic scans have not been systematically addressed. We report two studies th...
Fetal congenital heart disease (FHD) is a common and serious congenital malformation in children. In Asia, FHD birth defect rates have reached as high as 9.3%. For the early detection of birth defects and mortality, echocardiography remains the most ...
It is essential to measure anatomical parameters in prenatal ultrasound images for the growth and development of the fetus, which is highly relied on obtaining a standard plane. However, the acquisition of a standard plane is, in turn, highly subject...

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the interobserver and intraobserver variability and corresponding learning curve in a semiautomatic approach for a standardized assessment of the fetal heart (fetal intelligent navigation echocardiography [FINE]).
Machine learning, particularly deep learning has boosted medical image analysis over the past years. Training a good model based on deep learning requires large amount of labelled data. However, it is often difficult to obtain a sufficient number of ...
OBJECTIVE: Ultrasound-based fetal biometric measurements, such as head circumference (HC) and biparietal diameter (BPD), are frequently used to evaluate gestational age and diagnose fetal central nervous system pathology. Because manual measurements ...
Detecting acoustic shadows in ultrasound images is important in many clinical and engineering applications. Real-time feedback of acoustic shadows can guide sonographers to a standardized diagnostic viewing plane with minimal artifacts and can provid...
