FetalCLIP: Advancing Fetal Ultrasound Analysis
A novel vision-language foundation model for improved prenatal diagnostics
FetalCLIP introduces a specialized foundation model for fetal ultrasound image analysis that overcomes the limitations of existing approaches by effectively handling the complexity of prenatal imaging.
- Adapts the CLIP architecture specifically for fetal ultrasound interpretation
- Performs multiple critical tasks including classification, gestational age estimation, and congenital heart defect detection
- Demonstrates superior performance despite the scarcity of paired multimodal data
- Enables more accurate fetal structure segmentation
This research represents a significant advancement in prenatal diagnostics, potentially improving clinical workflows and enabling more accurate, efficient fetal assessments in medical settings where specialized expertise may be limited.
