User Guide

To address these issues, SonoScape has developed a smart
diagnostic ultrasound solution based on AI technologies that
are capable of classication, detection, and segmentation
of a variety of anatomical structures from ultrasound
images through deep learning algorithms represented by
convolutional neural networks (CNNs).

However, the current
diagnostic ultrasound solution faces several challenges:
• The equipment requires a high amount of user intervention
and possesses inherent delays, such as when the operator
must adapt to dierent operating procedures when
switching between modes.
• Computing power requirements are rising as AI algorithms
grow in complexity. These algorithms often use external
accelerators, such as GPUs, that increase cost, use more
power, and require additional testing and certication.
Continuous AI optimization for the best performance and
user experience has become a key challenge.

S-Fetus 4.0 Obstetric Screening Assistant
SonoScape S-Fetus 4.0 Obstetric
Screening Assistant
Based on the standardized collection and measurement
of ultrasound scan sections, clinicians can use obstetric
screening to detect most fetal structural abnormalities.
SonoScape’s proprietary S-Fetus 4.0 Obstetric Screening
Assistant is the rst globally available smart obstetric
screening technology based on deep learning. When
combined with the SonoScape P60 and S60 ultrasound
platforms, the S-Fetus 4.0 is capable of real-time recognition
of sections during the sonography process, automatic
acquisition of standard sections, automatic measurement,
and automatic feeding of results into the corresponding
fetal growth sections of the medical report. Boasting the
rst smart obstetric screening function in the industry,
the S-Fetus 4.0 signicantly improves on conventional
human-computer interaction methods by providing a smart
scenario-based work model that allows doctors to perform
sonography without the need to manually control complex
equipment, simplifying the sonogram process, improving
eciency, and reducing the workload of the sonographer.
The function provides eective frontend quality control
during the ultrasound process, enhances screening quality,
and provides additional guiding data in real time to help both
doctors and patients.

Utilizing core algorithms, original architecture, and
cross-architecture hardware, the S-Fetus 4.0 achieves a
fundamental technical breakthrough that provides a smart,
scenario-based, full-process, and easily adoptable solution
to improve the work eciency and consistency of doctors.
Comprehensive scenario-based functions ensure that
doctors do not need to switch between manual and smart
modes by default throughout the entire process, and reports
can be completed with the swipe of a nger.
