<![CDATA[This research aims to develop a multi-class instance segmentation model for segmenting, detecting, and classifying objects in fetal heart ultrasound images derived from fetal heart ultrasound videos. Previous studies have performed object detection on fetal heart images, identifying nine anatomical classes. Further, these studies have conducted instance segmentation on fetal heart images for six anatomical classes. This research seeks to expand the scope by increasing the number of classes to ten, encompassing four main chambers left atrium (LA), right atrium (RA), left ventricle (LV), right ventricle (RV); four valves tricuspid valve (TV), pulmonary valve (PV), mitral valve (MV), and aortic valve (AV); one aorta (Ao), and the spine. By developing an instance segmentation method for segmenting ten anatomical structures of the fetal heart, this research aims to make a significant contribution to improving medical image analysis in healthcare. It also aims to pave the way for further research on fetal heart diseases using AI. The instance segmentation approach is expected to enhance the accuracy of segmenting fetal heart images and allow for more efficient identification and labeling of each anatomical structure in the fetal heart.]]>
