Problems we work on
Ultrasound is the most widely used imaging in pregnancy care, and often the only one available. We develop methods that turn routine scans into quantitative measures of the developing brain.
Computational ultrasound: geometry and physics
Geometric and physics-informed methods for ultrasound, from recovering 3D brain anatomy from freehand 2D scans to reducing artefacts such as acoustic shadows.
Structure: atlases and segmentation
Building spatiotemporal atlases of the developing brain, and using them for registration, segmentation and shape modelling.
Robust everywhere: harmonisation and deployment
Building models that generalise across scanners, sites and clinical settings.
From scan to outcome: brain growth and neurodevelopment
Modelling brain growth across gestation and linking prenatal imaging to neurodevelopment after birth.
Software and data
OMNI Ultrasound Toolkit
Open-source tools that automate fetal brain segmentation and volumetric analysis from 3D ultrasound.
Built on international cohorts
Our work draws on the INTERGROWTH-21st and INTERBIO-21st consortia and our clinical partners.
