Foundation Model-driven Key Anatomy Frame Selection for Blind-sweep Ultrasound Fetal Birth Weight Estimation
Accurate fetal birth weight (FBW) estimation shortly before delivery is clinically valuable yet challenging due to its reliance on operator expertise, particularly in low-resource settings. To reduce this reliance, we study near-term birth-weight regression from blind-sweep ultrasound (US) videos acquired within 48 hours prior to delivery, with post-delivery weighing as ground truth. Accordingly, we propose a foundation model-driven key anatomy frame selection framework that enables accurate FBW regression despite the absence of plane constraints in blind sweeps. Our highlights are as follows: (1) We believe this is the first work to estimate FBW using blind-sweep US videos, enabling operator-independent assessment. (2) An Anatomy-Guided Frame Selection module equipped with a vision-language foundation model is proposed for keyframe collection in unconstrained sweeps. (3) A Redundancy-Aware Feature Compression module is designed to compress frame features while preserving task-relevant information, alleviating temporal redundancy. Extensively validated on prospectively collected data from 839 patients, our method achieves an MAE of 161.3 g, with 90.23% and 100% of cases falling within 10% and 15% absolute percentage error, outperforming typical Hadlock estimation and strong competitors.
