Wietske introduced automatic embryonic volumetric measurements using nnU-net. Her considerable contribution were outlined in the paper, “Automatic Human Embryo Volume Measurement in First Trimester Ultrasound From the Rotterdam Periconception Cohort: Quantitative and Qualitative Evaluation of Artificial Intelligence”.
In this work, they (Wietske with the co-authors, in particular, Stefan and Wiro from the BIGR) present their work on automatic human embryo volume measurement by means of arfiticial intelligence.
This study aimed to address the challenges of manual and semiautomatic measurements. They developed an automatic artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm to segment the region of interest and measure embryonic volume (EV) and head volume (HV) during the first trimester of pregnancy and evaluated it the Rotterdam Periconception Cohort.
With in-depth quantitative and qualitative analysis, they found that the use of automatic volumetric assessment becomes feasible and may lead to better screening, diagnostics, and treatment of developmental disorders in pregnancy.
