Abstract

Ultrasound imaging has become a prevalent examination method in prenatal diagnosis. Accurate acquisition of fetal facial standard plane (FFSP) is the most important precondition for subsequent diagnosis and measurement. In the past few years, considerable effort has been devoted to FFSP recognition using various hand-crafted features, but the recognition performance is still unsatisfactory due to the high intraclass variation of FFSPs and the high degree of visual similarity between FFSPs and other non-FFSPs. To improve the recognition performance, we propose a method to automatically recognize FFSP via a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) architecture. The proposed DCNN consists of 16 convolutional layers with small 3 × 3 size kernels and three fully connected layers. A global average pooling is adopted in the last pooling layer to significantly reduce network parameters, which alleviates the overfitting problems and improves the performance under limited training data. Both the transfer learning strategy and a data augmentation technique tailored for FFSP are implemented to further boost the recognition performance. Extensive experiments demonstrate the advantage of our proposed method over traditional approaches and the effectiveness of DCNN to recognize FFSP for clinical diagnosis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
