A new approach for quantitative assessment of fetal general movements in the early second trimester of pregnancy using four-dimensional ultrasound

ConclusionIn this study, we conducted a quantitative analysis of fetal behavior based on optical flow using 4DUS and demonstrated that it was highly accurate for detecting GMs and for evaluating developmental changes in GMs. The implementation of quantitative analysis of fetal GMs in the early second trimester has been very preliminary, and there is much debate on how it will be clinically applied to perinatal assessment.
