Deskripsi

<italic>Goal:</italic> FetSAM represents a cutting-edge deep learning model aimed at revolutionizing fetal head ultrasound segmentation, thereby elevating prenatal diagnostic precision. <italic>Methods:</italic> Utilizing a comprehensive dataset&#x2013;the largest to date for fetal head metrics&#x2013;FetSAM incorporates prompt-based learning. It distinguishes itself with a dual loss mechanism, combining Weighted DiceLoss and Weighted Lovasz Loss, optimized through AdamW and underscored by class weight adjustments for better segmentation balance. Performance benchmarks against prominent models such as U-Net, DeepLabV3, and Segformer highlight its efficacy. <italic>Results:</italic> FetSAM delivers unparalleled segmentation accuracy, demonstrated by a DSC of 0.90117, HD of 1.86484, and ASD of 0.46645. <italic>Conclusion:</italic> FetSAM sets a new benchmark in AI-enhanced prenatal ultrasound analysis, providing a robust, precise tool for clinical applications and pushing the envelope of prenatal care with its groundbreaking dataset and segmentation capabilities.
