Automatic Detect Fetal Median Sagittal Plane Using Smart MSP
2016 20 Jan
1.1 BackgroundUltrasound is a standard way to evaluate fetal anatomies. For the examination of fetal brain, one of the most important anatomical views is median sagittal plane (MSP).This plane can provide unique information of intracranial structures such as corpus callosum (CC) and cerebellar vermis (CV). Several studies[1~6] have proved that median... Read more
