Health monitoring of fetal ultrasound image using active contour models

Analysis of the health condition of the fetus on ultrasound is needed by medical personnel as well as of pregnant women who are pregnant. At a young age the pregnancy is still a great time to do the analysis on the condition of the baby in the womb. But most of this process can only be done by experts, namely medical personnel. It is necessary for a segmentation process on the results of the ultrasound image processing that aims to help medical personnel, patients are pregnant women and the general public to determine how the development of the fetus to grow healthy or whether there is any abnormality. The parameters which will be used as the basis for determining the level of health of the fetus in early pregnancy, the length of the fetus (Crown Rump Length) and the gestational sac diameter (gestational sac). The parameters are expected to be visible after the ultrasound image through a phase of segmentation by using Active Contour Models. This method uses the principle of minimizing the energy to detect specific feature in the image.
