Researchers have developed a new generative model for creating high-resolution synthetic fetal ultrasound images. This model, based on the EDM2 diffusion architecture, was trained on publicly available datasets and can generate 512x512 images across six anatomical classes. The synthetic images demonstrated improved quality with lower FID scores and enhanced downstream fetal plane classification accuracy, reaching 93.36% after fine-tuning. However, a clinical evaluation indicated that while the synthetic images were rated 2.67/5 for realism, real images received higher scores, with artefacts such as smoothing and anatomical inconsistencies noted in the generated images.
