Heart Defect Detection in Fetus

Author Details

To determine the complications, anomalies of fetus ultrasonography is performed during pregnancy of a woman. Therefore, finding a sign for a more definite anatomic study of the embryo. Ultrasound can identify the majority of major structural fetal abnormalities. Minor anomalies in 15% new-borns. Greater number of new strings cause greater chance of having major birth defects. The aim of the project is to build and train the model to effectively detect the abnormalities using the ultrasound images of the fetus at the early stages. As many of the structural anomalies can be treated if detected in early stages, the manual diagnosis requires considerable effort, time consuming and is prone to misdiagnosis. Therefore, using a software can avoid misdiagnosis and reduce overall time and effort.
