[0002] Fetal ultrasound is a non-invasive prenatal examination method that uses ultrasound to image the fetal heart to assess its structure and function. However, traditional fetal ultrasound imaging technology has many limitations. For example, image quality is affected by fetal position, maternal factors, and the performance of the ultrasound equipment, and is highly dependent on the operator's technical level. These factors often lead to misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of fetal heart disease, which may miss the optimal time for intervention. Artificial intelligence technology uses advanced computer algorithms to automatically analyze, process, and interpret medical imaging data, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosis. In the field of ultrasound imaging, in particular, artificial intelligence technology has demonstrated great potential, capable of optimizing image acquisition, improving image quality, automatically extracting and standardizing measurement-related parameters, and assisting doctors in the classification and differential diagnosis of diseases.
[0003] Through artificial intelligence technology, fetal heart ultrasound sound signals can be automatically analyzed and processed to generate high-quality fetal heart images. This method uses a deep learning algorithm trained on a large amount of fetal heart ultrasound data to automatically identify the structural characteristics of the fetal heart and generate clear images.
[0004] Chinese patent application publication number CN116867440A discloses a fetal heart ultrasound imaging method and system, comprising: determining a delay time; controlling multiple three-dimensional ultrasound scans of the fetal heart to obtain multiple volumes of three-dimensional ultrasound data containing multiple cardiac cycles; wherein, after each three-dimensional ultrasound scan is completed, the next three-dimensional ultrasound scan is performed after the delay time; rearranging the multiple volumes of three-dimensional ultrasound data according to cardiac phase sequence to obtain multiple volumes of rearranged three-dimensional ultrasound data; and displaying the fetal heart based on the rearranged multiple volumes of three-dimensional ultrasound data.
