• Authors: Bharath Srinivas Prabakaran and Paul Hamelmann and Erik Ostrowski and Muhammad Shafique
• Abstract summary: We present a novel fetus phantom ultrasound dataset, FPUS23, which can be used to identify the correct diagnostic planes for estimating fetal biometric values. The entire dataset is composed of 15,728 images, which are used to train four different Deep Neural Network models. We have also evaluated the models trained using our FPUS23 dataset, to show that the information learned by these models can be used to substantially increase the accuracy on real-world ultrasound fetus datasets.

• Abstract: Ultrasound imaging is one of the most prominent technologies to evaluate the growth, progression, and overall health of a fetus during its gestation. However, the interpretation of the data obtained from such studies is best left to expert physicians and technicians who are trained and well-versed in analyzing such images. To improve the clinical workflow and potentially develop an at-home ultrasound-based fetal monitoring platform, we present a novel fetus phantom ultrasound dataset, FPUS23, which can be used to identify (1) the correct diagnostic planes for estimating fetal biometric values, (2) fetus orientation, (3) their anatomical features, and (4) bounding boxes of the fetus phantom anatomies at 23 weeks gestation. The entire dataset is composed of 15,728 images, which are used to train four different Deep Neural Network models, built upon a ResNet34 backbone, for detecting aforementioned fetus features and use-cases. We have also evaluated the models trained using our FPUS23 dataset, to show that the information learned by these models can be used to substantially increase the accuracy on real-world ultrasound fetus datasets. We make the FPUS23 dataset and the pre-trained models publicly accessible at https://github.com/bharathprabakaran/FPUS23, which will further facilitate future research on fetal ultrasound imaging and analysis.

  We propose a novel 3D fetal pose estimation framework (called FetusMapV2) to overcome the above challenges. First, we propose a scheme that explores the complementary network structure-unconstrained and activation-unreserved GPU memory management approaches. Second, we design a novel Pair Loss to mitigate confusion caused by symmetrical and similar anatomical structures. Third, we propose a shape priors-based self-supervised learning by selecting the relatively stable landmarks to refine the pose online.

  There are few public ultrasound fetal imaging datasets due to insufficient amounts of clinical data, patient privacy, rare occurrence of abnormalities in general practice, and limited experts for data collection and validation. To address such data scarcity, we proposed generative adversarial networks (GAN)-based models, diffusion-super-resolution-GAN and transformer-based-GAN, to synthesise images of fetal ultrasound brain planes from one public dataset.
