Article Synopsis
- Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) affects 15% of identical twins sharing a placenta, and the standard treatment is fetoscopic laser photocoagulation (FLP), which improves fetal survival by correcting abnormal blood vessel connections.
- The proposed solution, TTTSNet, is a network architecture that enhances visualization of placental vessels during FLP surgery, utilizing advanced techniques for accurate vessel segmentation and addressing specific challenges encountered during the procedure.
- Trained on a dataset of video frames from fetoscopic procedures, TTTSNet showed significant performance growth over existing methods, achieving high accuracy and speed, which could enable real-time surgical applications.
Background: Fetal weight is currently estimated from fetal biometry parameters using heuristic mathematical formulas. Fetal biometry requires measurements of the fetal head, abdomen, and femur. However, this examination is prone to inter- and intraobserver variability because of factors, such as the experience of the operator, image quality, maternal characteristics, or fetal movements.
