AI Improves Early Detection of Fetal Heart Defects
Analysis
Key Takeaways
- •USF-MAE, a self-supervised learning model, significantly improves the accuracy of first-trimester fetal heart view classification.
- •The model outperforms supervised learning baselines and a Vision Transformer pretrained on natural images.
- •The approach demonstrates robust performance without aggressive image preprocessing, improving the discrimination of non-diagnostic frames.
“USF-MAE achieved the highest performance across all evaluation metrics, with 90.57% accuracy, 91.15% precision, 90.57% recall, and 90.71% F1-score.”
