Automated fetal plane detection and biometric measurement system for obstetric ultrasound — CPU-optimized for low-resource settings # FetalAI — Automated Obstetric Ultrasound Biometry System > **AI-powered system that automatically detects the correct fetal plane, freezes the image, and measures fetal biometric parameters in real time** --- ## The Clinical Problem Obstetric ultrasound is one of the most critical tools in maternal healthcare — measuring fetal growth, estimating gestational age, and identifying complications during pregnancy. But accurate fetal biometry depends entirely on the **operator finding the correct imaging plane**. This requires: - Identifying the correct cross-sectional view of the fetal head (for BPD) - Identifying the correct abdominal circumference plane - Knowing exactly when to freeze the image - Placing measurement calipers accurately This is a **skilled, time-consuming task that requires a trained sonographer**. Across Sub-Saharan Africa, trained sonographers are scarce. In many rural hospitals and primary healthcare centers, nurses or community health workers perform ultrasound scans — often without formal training in biometric measurement. The result is: - Inaccurate fetal measurements - Wrong gestational age estimates - Missed growth restriction - Preventable maternal and neonatal complications **FetalAI addresses this directly.** --- ## What It Does FetalAI automatically: | Step | What Happens | |------|-------------| | **Plane Detection** | Recognizes when the correct fetal head (BPD), abdominal (AC), and femur (FL) planes are in view | | **Auto-Freeze** | Freezes the image at the optimal measurement moment — no manual freeze needed | | **Auto-Measurement** | Places calipers automatically and calculates BPD, OFD, AC, and FL instantly | | **Manual Adjustment** | Allows the clinician to manually adjust calipers if needed — maintaining clinical control | | **Instant Update** | Measurements recalculate immediately after any manual adjustment | The result is **accurate, consistent fetal biometry that does not depend on operator skill level**. - …
