متن کاملAutomatic Gestational Age Estimation Based on Crown Rump Length and Gestational Sac
The development of ultrasound technology allows us to see the structure and development of the fetus directly. Crown-Rump Length (CRL) and mean diameter of gestational sac (MSD) can be used to determine the age of the fetus. Both parameters are useful for measuring different aspects of the first trimester of pregnancy. This study proposes a method to obtain those parameter values automatically ...
