Fetal Organ Anomaly Classification Network for Identifying Organ Anomalies in Fetal MRI
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Rapid development in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has played a key role in prenatal diagnosis over the last few years. Deep learning (DL) architectures can facilitate the process of anomaly detection and affected-organ classification, making diagnosis more accurate and observer-independent. We propose a novel DL image classification architecture, Fetal Organ Anomaly Classification Network (FOAC-Net), which uses squeeze-and-excitation (SE) and naïve inception (NI) modules to automatically identify anomalies in fetal organs. This architecture can identify normal fetal anatomy, as well as detect anomalies present in the (1) brain, (2) spinal cord, and (3) heart. In this retrospective study, we included fetal 3-dimensional (3D) SSFP sequences of 36 participants. We classified the images on a slice-by-slice basis. FOAC-Net achieved a classification accuracy of 85.06, 85.27, 89.29, and 82.20% when predicting brain anomalies, no anomalies (normal), spinal cord anomalies, and heart anomalies, respectively. In a comparison study, FOAC-Net outperformed other state-of-the-art classification architectures in terms of class-average F1 and accuracy. This work aims to develop a novel classification architecture identifying the affected organs in fetal MRI.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
