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...
Machine learning for ultrasound image analysis and interpretation can be helpful in automated image classification in large-scale retrospective analyses to objectively derive new indicators of abnormal fetal development that are embedded in ultrasoun...
We propose a novel attention gate (AG) model for medical image analysis that automatically learns to focus on target structures of varying shapes and sizes. Models trained with AGs implicitly learn to suppress irrelevant regions in an input image whi...
Ultrasound imaging remains out of reach for most pregnant women in developing countries because it requires a trained sonographer to acquire and interpret the images. We address this problem by presenting a system that can automatically estimate the ...
OBJECTIVE: Obstetricians mainly use ultrasound imaging for fetal biometric measurements. However, such measurements are cumbersome. Hence, there is urgent need for automatic biometric estimation. Automated analysis of ultrasound images is complicated...
