FUIQA: Fetal Ultrasound Image Quality Assessment with Deep Convolutional Networks
Abstract
The quality of ultrasound (US) images for the obstetric examination is crucial for accurate biometric measurement. However, manual quality control is a labor intensive process and often impractical in a clinical setting. To improve the efficiency of examination and alleviate the measurement error caused by improper US scanning operation and slice selection, a computerized fetal US image quality assessment (FUIQA) scheme is proposed to assist the implementation of US image quality control in the clinical obstetric examination. The proposed FUIQA is realized with two deep convolutional neural network models, which are denoted as L-CNN and C-CNN, respectively. The L-CNN aims to find the region of interest (ROI) of the fetal abdominal region in the US image. Based on the ROI found by the L-CNN, the C-CNN evaluates the image quality by assessing the goodness of depiction for the key structures of stomach bubble and umbilical vein. To further boost the performance of the L-CNN, we augment the input sources of the neural network with the local phase features along with the original US data. It will be shown that the heterogeneous input sources will help to improve the performance of the L-CNN. The performance of the proposed FUIQA is compared with the subjective image quality evaluation results from three medical doctors. With comprehensive experiments, it will be illustrated that the computerized assessment with our FUIQA scheme can be comparable to the subjective ratings from medical doctors.

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.
