BACKGROUND: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common birth defects in the world. It is the leading cause of infant mortality, necessitating an early diagnosis for timely intervention. Prenatal screening using ultrasound is the primary...
OBJECTIVE: Many fetal anomalies can already be diagnosed by ultrasound in the first trimester of pregnancy. Unfortunately, in clinical practice, detection rates for anomalies in early pregnancy remain low. Our aim was to use an automated image segmen...
INTRODUCTION: Ultrasonography in the first trimester of pregnancy offers an early screening tool to identify high risk pregnancies. Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms have the potential to improve the accuracy of diagnosis and assist the clinici...
BACKGROUND: This study presents CUPID, an advanced automated measurement software based on Artificial Intelligence (AI), designed to evaluate nine fetal biometric parameters in the mid-trimester. Our primary objective was to assess and compare the CU...
INTRODUCTION: Congenital anomalies are the most encountered cause of fetal death, infant mortality and morbidity. 7.9 million infants are born with congenital anomalies yearly. Early detection of congenital anomalies facilitates life-saving treatment...
OBJECTIVE: This proof-of-concept study assessed how confidently an artificial intelligence (AI) model can determine the sex of a fetus from an ultrasound image.

PURPOSE: Preterm birth presents a major challenge in perinatal care, and predicting preterm birth remains a major challenge. If preterm birth cases can be accurately predicted during pregnancy, preventive interventions and more intensive prenatal mon...
Ultrasound imaging is commonly used to aid in fetal development. It has the advantage of being real-time, low-cost, non-invasive, and easy to use. However, fetal organ detection is a challenging task for obstetricians, it depends on several factors, ...
