Automatic Estimation of Fetal Abdominal Circumference From Ultrasound Images

Abstract: Ultrasound diagnosis is routinely used in obstetrics and gynecology for fetal biometry, and owing to its time-consuming process, there has been a great demand for automatic estimation. However, the automated analysis of ultrasound images is complicated because they are patient specific, operator dependent, and machine specific. Among various types of fetal biometry, the accurate estimation of abdominal circumference (AC) is especially difficult to perform automatically because the abdomen has low contrast agai… Show more

“…More precisely, h (3) is obtained by concatenation of h (2) and ReLU (η 1 (I) 4 W (3) ). Similarly, h (6) and h (9) are produced by using η 2 (I) and η 3 (I) that are the average pooling of I by a factor of four and eight, respectively. This multi-scale side-input layer achieves multiple levels of receptive field size in the encoding path of AF-net, therefore it helps deal with unpredictable shapes and large size variations of AF pockets.…”

“…Therefore, the fully automatic segmentation of the AF pocket has been in substantial demand. Unfortunately, this task is highly challenging, unlike other ultrasound-based automatic fetal biometric measurements [6]- [9]. The difficulty arises due to amorphous features (i.e., an unspecified variety of shapes and sizes) of the AF pocket and various factors, such as reverberation, the AF mimicking region, floating matter, and incomplete or missing boundary, which lead to limited accuracy of AF pocket segmentation [3], [10].…”

“…Pada penelitian ini, diusulkan sebuah sistem yang dapat melakukan proses deteksi otomatis bidang kepala janin menggunakan CNN. Pemilihan metode CNN digunakan karena CNN dapat menjadi classifier yang robust untuk citra USG janin [1], [6], [7]. CNN digunakan untuk melakukan segmentasi semantik terhadap tiga kelas yaitu bidang elips, maternal tissue, dan background.…”
