摘要

In prenatal ultrasound, accurately identifying fetal abdominal ultrasound standard planes (FAUSP) is challenging due to the complexity of anatomical structures. To address this, we developed FAUSP-NET, a multi-task network that integrates a mixed attention mechanism for real-time FAUSP recognition and anatomical structure detection. The network uses a residual backbone for feature extraction, enhanced by an attention mechanism and Large Selective Kernel Block (LSKblock) for better focus on key regions. A Focal_EIoU loss function addresses class imbalance and improves bounding box regression. Trained on 6767 FAUSP images, FAUSP-NET outperforms 24 popular models, achieving mAP@0.5 of 0.961 and mAP@0.5:0.95 of 0.653 in detection, with plane recognition accuracy of 0.972. Its average detection time is 24.1 ms. Doctor evaluations show that FAUSP-NET’s accuracy is comparable to senior physicians, offering significant support for clinical ultrasound diagnostics.
