First trimester gaze and visual-assisted probe motion guidance for obstetric ultrasound scanning

Thesis

Pregnancy (or obstetric) ultrasound is routinely used worldwide for early detection of abnormalities in the fetus. Despite the possibility to reliably diagnose structural abnormalities in the first trimester (between 11 and 14 weeks of gestation), anomaly detection which makes anatomy visualisation easier is most commonly performed in the second trimester due to the larger size of the fetus and standardized anatomical imaging protocols.
