AI takes on pregnancy scans: can it beat the sonographer?
NCT ID NCT07286591
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study compares two ways of taking ultrasound images during a routine second-trimester pregnancy check: one using standard methods by a sonographer, and another using an AI tool called Live View Assist that automatically recognizes and freezes the needed images. Researchers will check if the AI-assisted images meet quality standards as well as the manually taken ones. The goal is to see if AI can help make pregnancy scans more reliable and efficient.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Artificial intelligence (AI) software (Live View Assist) used with ultrasound
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that AI helps sonographers get better, more consistent images during pregnancy scans, potentially improving detection of fetal problems.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all pregnancies or settings. The AI tool may not work as well in routine practice as it does in testing.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
