New FETALFusion model advances fetal head segmentation in ultrasound

Researchers have developed FETALFusion, a novel dual-path CNN-Mamba model designed for accurate fetal head segmentation in ultrasound images. This model integrates state-space modeling at high-resolution stages and utilizes domain-specific channel gates to improve performance across different acquisition types. While FETALFusion demonstrates strong results, achieving a Dice score of 0.963 and an HD95 of 2.10 mm, a ResNet-34 U-Net architecture initialized with ImageNet weights achieved the best overall performance.

    FETALFusion: Resolution-Aware State-Space Modeling for Multi-Domain Fetal Head Segmentation

    arXiv:2610.17951v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Head circumference (HC) measured from 2D ultrasound is a routine marker of fetal growth, and automating it needs segmentations whose boundaries hold up on individual scans, not only on average. We present FETALFusion, a dual-path …
