Ultrasound (US) image segmentation methods, focusing on techniques developed for fetal biometric parameters and nuchal translucency, are briefly reviewed. Ultrasound medical images can easily identify the fetus using segmentation techniques and calculate fetal parameters. It can timely find the fetal abnormality so that necessary action can be taken by the pregnant woman. Firstly, a detailed literature has been offered on fetal biometric parameters and nuchal translucency to highlight the investigation approaches with a degree of validation in diverse clinical domains. Then, a categorization of the bibliographic assessment of recent research effort in the segmentation field of ultrasound 2D fetal images has been presented. The fetal images of high-risk pregnant women have been taken into the routine and continuous monitoring of fetal parameters. These parameters are used for detection of fetal weight, fetal growth, gestational age, and any possible abnormality detection.

The purpose of medical image segmentation is to extract information such as volume, shape, motion of organs for detecting abnormalities from the medical image for improvement and fast diagnosis. In this paper, a segmentation algorithm has been implemented for foetus ultrasound image by particle swarm optimisation (PSO) K-means clustering algorithm with fuzzy filter. Impulsive noise inherent in ultrasound image has been removed using fuzzy filter. Then, PSO K-means clustering segmentation method is applied for partitioning foetus ultrasonic images into multiple segments, which applies an optimal suppression factor for the perfect clustering in the specified data set. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms other segmentation algorithms like seeded region growing using PSO, fuzzy C-means and watershed in terms of segmentation accuracy for speckle noise added to foetus ultrasound medical images.

“…In this the contours is defined as the zero level set of an implicit function and then later evolved according to the partial differential equation [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The main advantage of using level set algorithm is that the contours have the capability to merge and break as required during the evolution process.…”

Ultrasound scan during pregnancy is one of the most important ways to determine the health of the fetus. Ultrasound scanning/imaging helps the obstetrician to get the anatomic measurements of the fetus, thus enabling them to keep track of the health of the fetus. Ultrasound images are low-contrast images with high noise content. Hence it is difficult to obtain the precise anatomic measurements manually and requires more time. In rural areas, where the ratio of number of ultrasound centers to number of patients is very low, it gets increasingly difficult for the health care professionals to invest the required amount of time to get the precise measurements. This paper aims at assisting the obstetrician with an automatically health monitoring of the fetus from the ultrasound images. This is done by first enhancing the image by using a combination of wavelet and Laplacian of Gaussian filter and then finding the anatomic measurements, such as length, perimeter, area etc. by image segmentation using level set algorithm. The experimental result shows the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed system.
