Abstract：Objective: Automatic recognition and classification on fetal ultrasound image is significant to make doctors’ work efficiency. Method: Being different from traditional automatic classification method whose images should be segmented in detail, feature extracted manually and then classified, we proposed a deep convolutional neural network(CNN) based fetal thalamus plane ultrasound image recognition method. First, the images were pre-processed, such as image enhancement; then, we proposed an improved CNN algorithm. Result: This algorithm avoids the complex pre-processing of two-dimensional ultrasound image, and can input the original two-dimensional ultrasound image directly. It has strong capacity of adaption and generalization. The experimental results show that the recognition accuracy of this method can reach 94.81%. Conclusion: The proposed model provides a new reference for automatic medical image recognition technology.
