Abstract

Artificial Intelligence Female Fetal Growth Retardation - diagnostic imaging Fetal Growth Retardation - therapy Humans Prenatal Care - methods Ultrasonography, Prenatal - methods Pregnancy
This narrative review examines the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in prenatal care, particularly in managing pregnancies complicated by Fetal Growth Restriction (FGR). AI provides a transformative approach to diagnosing and monitoring FGR by leveraging advanced machine-learning algorithms and extensive data analysis. Automated fetal biometry using AI has demonstrated significant precision in identifying fetal structures, while predictive models analyzing Doppler indices and maternal characteristics improve the reliability of adverse outcome predictions. AI has enabled early detection and stratification of FGR risk, facilitating targeted monitoring strategies and individualized delivery plans, potentially improving neonatal outcomes. For instance, studies have shown enhancements in detecting placental insufficiency-related abnormalities when AI tools are integrated with traditional ultrasound techniques. This review also explores challenges such as algorithm bias, ethical considerations, and data standardization, underscoring the importance of global accessibility and regulatory frameworks to ensure equitable implementation. The potential of AI to revolutionize prenatal care highlights the urgent need for further clinical validation and interdisciplinary collaboration.
