Automated 3D ultrasound image analysis for first trimester assessment of fetal health

Thesis

The first trimester fetal ultrasound scan is important to confirm fetal viability, to estimate the gestational age of the fetus and to detect any fetal anomalies early in pregnancy. In particular, there is growing recent clinical interest in shifting aspects of fetal health screening typically performed at the 18-22 week fetal ultrasound scan to the first trimester ultrasound scan for the benefit of the health of the mother and fetus and potentially to reduce cost within healthcare systems...
