Task model-specific operator skill assessment in routine fetal ultrasound scanning.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

For highly operator-dependent ultrasound scanning, skill assessment approaches evaluate operator competence given available data, such as acquired images and tracked probe movement. Operator skill level can be quantified by the completeness, speed, and precision of performing a clinical task, such as biometry. Such clinical tasks are increasingly becoming assisted or even replaced by automated machine learning models. In addition to measurement, operators need to be competent at the upstream task of acquiring images of sufficient quality. To provide computer assistance for this task requires a new definition of skill.

Methods

This paper focuses on the task of selecting ultrasound frames for biometry, for which operator skill is assessed by quantifying how well the ta
