AI detects foetal abnormalities from pregnancy scans nearly twice as fast as humans

# Artificial intelligence can help detect foetal abnormalities from pregnancy scans nearly twice as quickly but with the same accuracy. This is according to the results of a UK trial which included 78 pregnant women and 58 sonographers. They focused on looking for heart problems in the 20-week scans, but researchers said the AI could look for any abnormality. It was also more reliable and 42-percent quicker than humans when it came to taking foetal measurements, with sonographers no longer needing to pause, measure and save images during the scan.
