2. About AI
How can AI improve exam completeness?
Fetoly evaluates exam completeness through real-time analysis of more than 100 fetal anatomical structures and landmarks, helping clinicians ensure that key anatomical views have been acquired during the examination.
Can AI help detect fetal abnormalities?
Fetoly supports clinicians by highlighting out of range ratio measurements and helping identify fetal abnormalities during ultrasound examinations. It is designed as a clinical decision-support tool and does not replace clinician expertise or judgment.
How can AI improve consistency in ultrasound examinations?
AI provides standardized guidance and objective assessment during scanning, helping reduce variability between operators.
How can AI improve OB ultrasound workflow?
AI can help support exam completeness assessment, improve consistency between operators, provide real-time guidance during ultrasound examinations, and help standardize fetal ultrasound examinations.
How can AI reduce variability between operators?
AI provides consistent guidance, standardized quality assessment, and objective criteria that can help improve consistency across users and reduce variability between operators performing fetal ultrasound examinations.
What is AI in fetal ultrasound?
AI in fetal ultrasound uses machine learning and computer vision technologies to assist clinicians during fetal ultrasound examinations by supporting image interpretation, ultrasound ratio measurements, exam completeness, and support clinical decision-making.
What is a real-time AI ultrasound assistant?
A real-time AI ultrasound assistant continuously analyzes the ultrasound video during the examination. Unlike some competitors, you don’t need to capture an image, upload it, and wait for results. The AI provides immediate guidance while scanning, without interrupting the examination.
How does AI support prenatal care?
AI can improve the quality, consistency, efficiency, and reliability of fetal screening and prenatal assessments.
Does it recognize standard planes?
Yes. Fetoly’s features align with international guidelines such as ISUOG and are backed by scientific evidence from leading obstetrics and gynecology researchers. See our scientific committee
What cardiac pathologies can I diagnose with the help of Fetoly?
Fetoly application supports clinicians by assisting with the assessment of cardiac views and ratio measurements during fetal ultrasound examinations.
Will Fetoly know when the exam is complete?
Yes. Fetoly features standard plane recognition and an anatomical checklist to help clinicians assess exam completeness during fetal ultrasound examinations.
Can I edit the measurements made by the application?
Yes. Measurements generated by the application can be reviewed and edited by the user at any time during the examination. Simply select the corresponding image and click the “Edit Measurement” button. In addition to editing measurements, you can customize the ratio limits to define which values are considered normal and which are considered out of range.
What cardiac pathologies can I diagnose with the help of Fetoly?
Fetoly application supports clinicians by assisting with the assessment of cardiac views and ratio measurements during fetal ultrasound examinations. The cardiac conditions currently supported by the application are described in our White Paper.
Is there a report at the end of the exam?
Yes. Fetoly generates a structured examination report including the exam completeness score, recognized standard planes, and automatic ratio measurements. The report can be exported as a PDF or DICOM file and integrated into your PACS workflow.
How to get the latest version of the AI?
You don’t need to do anything. The app updates automatically via the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, ensuring you always have the latest features without manual installation or maintenance.
How precise is Fetoly AI model?
We comfortably exceed regulatory standards across all performance metrics, delivering 96% sensitivity (correctly identifying relevant clinical features) and 99.5% specificity (correctly ruling out irrelevant elements).
What do I need to do during the exam for Fetoly to work?
Nothing. Our application is designed to work in the background, without requiring any changes to your existing ultrasound workflow or scanning routine.
