The application value of smart fetus prenatal ultrasound technique in auto-matic recognition and acquisition of fetal abdominal ultrasound standard sec-tions
Objective To explore the clinical application value of smart fetus(SF)prenatal ul-trasound in the automatic recognition and acquisition of fetal abdominal ultrasound standard sec-tions.Methods A total of 378 pregnant women of 20 to 40+6 weeks receiving prenatal ultra-sonography in Harbin Red Cross Central Hospital from June 2022 to January 2023 were selected as the study subjects and divided into three groups according to their gestational age:Group A had 200 cases of 20 to 27+6 weeks gestational age;Group B had 125 cases with gestational age of 28~35+6 weeks;Group C had 53 cases with gestational age of 36~40+6 weeks.The target section and abdominal circumference were measured by a senior doctor and a junior doctor u-sing traditional ultrasound technology and SF technology respectively.Another senior doctor was selected to conduct manual quality control on the results obtained by the above two doctors.Re-sults The less time was took for the senior doctor and the junior doctor to obtain the target sec-tions of each group by SF technology than by traditional ultrasound technology(P<0.001).The less time was took for the senior doctor than the junior doctor to obtain the target sections of each group by traditional ultrasound technology(P<0.001).The less time was took for the senior doctor than the junior doctor used SF technology to obtain the target sections of each group,but the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Among the 4 sections of fetal abdomen requiring quality control obtained by doctors with high experience and doctors with low experience using traditional ultrasound technique,the pass rate of the former section was higher than that of the latter,but the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusion SF technique has clinical application value in the identification and ac-quisition of the target sections of fetal abdominal ultrasound,which not only saves time com-pared with traditional ultrasound technique,but also provides image quality control,and has more significant advantages for doctors with low experience.
