Ultrasound exams during pregnancy can identify abnormal fetal development, a major cause of perinatal mortality, but recognizing individual fetuses in multiple pregnancies is challenging.
The study examines the feasibility of fetal re-identification using a public dataset of ultrasound images from singleton pregnancies, achieving promising results with the FastReID framework.
The findings suggest that while re-identification in ultrasound images might enhance diagnostics, further research is needed with diverse datasets, especially involving multiple pregnancies, to ensure consistent performance and clarity on how the models work.
