  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MACHINE LEARNING BASED ULTRASOUND ANATOMY FEATURE EXTRACTION
    Publication number: 20240407752
    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter provides systems and methods for predicting a spontaneous preterm birth based on transvaginal ultrasound images of a subject. An example method can include providing a preterm birth prediction model, obtaining one or more transvaginal ultrasound images of the subject, each including cervical features, determining measurements of a plurality of cervical structure features from the one or more ultrasound images, assessing, using the preterm birth prediction model, cervical health of the subject based on the measurements of the plurality of cervical structure features, and calculating the spontaneous preterm birth risk based on the assessed cervical health, using the preterm birth prediction model.

  • Obstetrical imaging at the point of care for untrained or minimally trained operators
    Patent number: 10709416
    Abstract: A specialized ultrasound machine tailored for use by traditional birth attendants provides an ultrasound transducer configuration adapted to work with the traditional sweeping motion of the attendant's hands over the patient's abdomen. Automatic analysis of various obstetrical conditions is performed without the need for the user to view or interpret standard ultrasound images. This machine analysis is used to provide real-time guidance in the acquisition of data by the user greatly reducing the required operator skill.
