description | Fetal Standard Plane (SP) acquisition is a key step in ultrasound based assessment of fetal health. The task detects an
ultrasound (US) image with predefined anatomy. However, it
requires skill to acquire a good SP in practice, and trainees
and occasional users of ultrasound devices can find this challenging. In this work, we consider the task of automatically
predicting the fetal head SP from the video approaching the
SP. We adopt a domain transfer learning approach that maps
the encoded spatial and temporal features of video in the
source domain to the spatial representations of the desired SP
image in the target domain, together with adversarial training
to preserve the quality of the resulting image. Experimental
results show that the predicted head plane is plausible and
consistent with the anatomical features expected in a real SP.
The proposed approach is motivated to support non-experts
to find and analyse a trans-ventricular (TV) plane but could
also be generalized to other planes, trimesters, and ultrasound
imaging tasks for which standard planes are defined. |
