CLP-Net: an advanced artificial intelligence technique for localizing standard planes of cleft lip and palate by three-dimensional ultrasound in the first trimester
Abstract Background Early diagnosis of cleft lip and palate (CLP) requires a multiplane examination, demanding high technical proficiency from radiologists. Therefore, this study aims to develop and validate the first artificial intelligence (AI)-based model (CLP-Net) for fully automated multi-plane...

description | Abstract Background Early diagnosis of cleft lip and palate (CLP) requires a multiplane examination, demanding high technical proficiency from radiologists. Therefore, this study aims to develop and validate the first artificial intelligence (AI)-based model (CLP-Net) for fully automated multi-plane localization in three-dimensional(3D) ultrasound during the first trimester. Methods This retrospective study included 418 (394 normal, 24 CLP) 3D ultrasound from 288 pregnant woman between July 2022 to October 2024 from Shenzhen Guangming District People’s Hospital during the 11–13+ 6 weeks of pregnancy. 320 normal volumes were used for training and validation, while 74 normal and 24 CLP volumes were used for testing. Two experienced radiologists reviewed three standard lip and palate planes (mid sagittal, retronasal triangle, and maxillary axial planes) as ground truth (GT) and the CLP-Net was developed to locate these planes. Results In normal test set, mean angle(± SD)° and distance(± SD)mm differences were 6.24 ± 4.83, 9.81 ± 5.48, 15.36 ± 18.14 and 0.86 ± 0.72, 1.36 ± 1.15, 1.96 ± 2.35 for MSP ± SD, RTP ± SD and MAP ± SD, NCC and SSIM were 0.931 ± 0.079, 0.819 ± 0.122, 0.781 ± 0.157 and 0.896 ± 0.058, 0.785 ± 0.076, 0.726 ± 0.088 respectively. In the CLP cases, there were 8.61 ± 5.52, 10.67 ± 5.08, 16.91 ± 17.42 and 1.03 ± 1.20, 1.17 ± 1.08, 1.34 ± 0.95 for mean angle and distance in MSP, RTP, and MAP, respectively. NCC and SSIM were 0.876 ± 0.104, 0.803 ± 0.084, 0.793 ± 0.089 and 0.841 ± 0.105, 0.812 ± 0.085, 0.764 ± 0.100, respectively. CLP-Net predictions had a highly visual acceptance rate among radiologists (MSP: 95%, RTP: 70%, MAP: 70%), with improved localization speed 15s(31.3%) for senior radiologists and 63s(38.9%) for junior radiologists. Conclusions CLP-Net accurately locates three planes for CLP screening, aiding radiologists and enhancing the efficiency of ultrasound examinations. |
