Segmentation of points of interest during fetal cardiac assesment in the first trimester from color Doppler ultrasoundRuxandra Stoean, Dominic Iliescu, Catalin Stoean
The present paper puts forward an incipient study that uses a traditional segmentation method based on Zernike moments for extracting significant features from frames of fetal echocardiograms from first trimester color Doppler examinations. A distance based approach is then used on the obtained indicators to classify frames of three given categories that should be present in a normal heart condition. The computational tool shows promise in supporting the obstetrician in a rapid recognition of heart views during screening.
