Proceedings of Challenge US: Biometric Measurements from Fetal Ultrasound Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our fully automatic method to compute the biparietal diameter (BPD) and occipitofrontal diameter (OFD) from fetal ultrasound images is based on fitting an ellipse modelling the head contour of the fetus to ultrasound images. This is achieved by minimizing a cost function with respect to the parameters of the ellipse using a global multiscale multistart Nelder-Mead algorithm.

Efficient Segmentation of the Foetal Ultrasound Image Using Smoothing Algorithm
Ultrasound (US) imaging is the modality of choice in many clinical applications compared to other imaging modalities, such as computed tomography (CT). US images are patient-specific, operator-dependent, and machine specific. However these US images are affected by signal dropouts, artefacts, missing boundaries, attenuation, shadows, and speckle, making US one of the most challenging modalities...
متن کاملDifference of Gaussians revolved along elliptical paths for ultrasound fetal head segmentation
We present a fully automatic method to segment the skull from 2-D ultrasound images of the fetal head and to compute the standard biometric measurements derived from the segmented images. The method is based on the minimization of a novel cost function. The cost function is formulated assuming that the fetal skull has an approximately elliptical shape in the image and that pixel values within t...
متن کاملDiagnostic Plane Extraction from 3D Parametric Surface of the Fetal Cranium
In this paper, we evaluate the viability of using a 3D parametric surface model of the fetal cranium to extract diagnostic 2D ultrasound (US) image planes and biometric measurements useful in fetal growth monitoring. The parametric surface deforms to tightly delineate the inner cranial boundary, and its topology-preserving property defines a coordinate space which allows for consistent sampling...
