Abstract

Research has demonstrated that artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have shown tremendous potential over the past decade for analyzing and detecting anomalies in the fetal heart during ultrasound tests. Despite their potential, the adoption of these algorithms remains limited due to concerns over patient privacy, the scarcity of large well-annotated datasets and challenges in achieving high accuracy. This research aims to overcome these limitations by proposing an optimal solution. Two methods such as deterministic image augmentation techniques and Wasserstein generative adversarial network with gradient penalty (WGAN-GP) showcase the framework's capacity to seamlessly and effectively expand original datasets to 14 times and 17 times respectively, thereby effectively tackling the problem of data scarcity. It uses an annotation tool to precisely categorize anomalies identified in the echocardiogram dataset. Segmentation of the annotated data is done to highlight region of interest. Nine distinct fetal heart anomalies are identified with respect to the fewer covered in existing research. This study also investigates the state-of-the-art architectures and optimization techniques used in deep learning models. The results clearly indicate that the ResNet-101 model demonstrated superior precision accuracy of 99.15%. To ensure the reliability of the proposed model, its performance underwent thorough evaluation and validation by certified gynecologists and fetal medicine specialists.
