Automatic fetal measurements for low-cost settings by using Local Phase Bone detection

Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc. 2015:2015:161-4. doi: 10.1109/EMBC.2015.7318325.

Abstract

The estimation of gestational age is done mostly by measurements of fetal anatomical structures such as the head and femur. These measurement are also used in diagnosis and growth assessment. Manual measurements is operator dependent and hence subject to variability.
