Researchers have benchmarked several foundation models (FMs) for fetal plane classification using ultrasound images, aiming to improve diagnostic accuracy in obstetric care. The study compared ultrasound-specific FMs like FetalCLIP and USFM against general computer vision models such as ResNet50 and ViT (DINOv3). FetalCLIP excelled in a linear probing setting, while USFM performed best with full fine-tuning, demonstrating that the choice of pretraining objective significantly impacts transferability and classification performance, especially across different populations.
