Examination of the umbilical artery with Doppler ultrasonography is performed to investigate blood supply to the fetus through the umbilical cord, which is vital for the monitoring of fetal health. Such examination involves several steps…
A beat-to-beat Tele-fetal Monitoring and comparison with clinical data are studied with a wavelet transformation approach. Tele-fetal monitoring is a big progress toward a wearable medical device for a pregnant woman capable of obtaining…
Usually, clinicians assess the correct hemodynamic behavior and fetal well-being during the gestational age thanks to their professional expertise, with the support of some indices defined for Doppler fetal waveforms. Although this approach…
Cognitive demands of fetal ultrasound examinations pose unique challenges among clinicians. With the goal of providing an assistive tool, we developed an automated pipeline for predicting fetal orientation from ultrasound videos acquired…
Continuous monitoring of fetal and maternal vital signs, particularly during labor, can be critical for the child and mother's health. We present a novel wearable electronic system that measures, in real-time, maternal heart rate using…
Fetal health monitoring through one-dimensional Doppler ultrasound (DUS) signals offers a cost-effective and accessible approach that is increasingly gaining interest. Despite its potential, the development of machine learning based…
Purpose: Ultrasound is the most commonly used medical imaging modality for diagnosis and screening in clinical practice. Due to its safety profile, noninvasive nature and portability, ultrasound is the primary imaging modality for fetal…
Prenatal screening with ultrasound can lower neonatal mortality significantly for selected cardiac abnormalities. However, the need for human expertise, coupled with the high volume of screening cases, limits the practically achievable…
In this study, we present a deep learning framework designed to integrate with our previously developed system that facilitates large-scale 1D fetal Doppler data collection, aiming to enhance data quality. This system, tailored for…
Echocardiography (echo) is an indispensable tool in a cardiologist's diagnostic armamentarium. To date, almost all echocardiographic parameters require time-consuming manual labeling and measurements by an experienced echocardiographer and…
Dynamic and precise measurement of cerebral blood flow velocity is crucial in neuroscience and the diagnosis of cerebrovascular diseases. Traditional color Doppler ultrasound can only measure the velocity component along the ultrasound…
Focused transmits are the most commonly used transmit strategy for echocardiograms, but suffer from relatively low frame rates, and in 3D, even lower volume rates. Fast imaging based on unfocused transmits has disadvantages such as motion…
We present a novel computerized fetal heart rate intrapartum algorithm for early and individualized prediction of fetal cardiovascular decompensation, a key event in the causal chain leading to brain injury. This real-time machine learning…
We present an automatic method to describe clinically useful information about scanning, and to guide image interpretation in ultrasound (US) videos of the fetal heart. Our method is able to jointly predict the visibility, viewing plane,…
Fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring, before and during labor, is a very important medical practice in the detection of fetuses in danger. We clustered FHR tracings by compression in order to identify abnormal ones. We use a recently…
In this paper, we propose an end-to-end multi-task neural network called FetalNet with an attention mechanism and stacked module for spatio-temporal fetal ultrasound scan video analysis. Fetal biometric measurement is a standard examination…
The purpose of this work is to demonstrate a robust and clinically validated method for correcting sound speed aberrations in medical ultrasound. We propose a correction method that calculates focusing delays directly from the observed…
Angle estimation is an important step in the Doppler ultrasound clinical workflow to measure blood velocity. It is widely recognized that incorrect angle estimation is a leading cause of error in Doppler-based blood velocity measurements.…
Motivation. Phonocardiography can give access to the fetal heart rate as well as direct heart sound data, and is entirely passive, using no radiation of any kind. Approach. We discuss the currently available methods for fetal heart sound…
The International Society of Ultrasound advocates Intrapartum Ultrasound (US) Imaging in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG) to monitor labour progression through changes in fetal head position. Two reliable ultrasound-derived parameters that…
