Fetal Facial Blood Circulation Ultrasound Videos and Documentation

figshare admin karger provides supplementary material for a study on fetal facial blood circulation. The dataset includes MP4 and DOCX files from a prospective cohort of 162 fetuses assessed at a mean gestational age of 12+6 weeks in a single Fetal Medicine Center in Colombia. The data was last updated on 2026-04-15.

Use Cases

• Training or validating computer vision models for detecting facial blood vessel patterns in fetal ultrasound videos.
• Studying the anatomical trajectory of orofacial arteries, such as the supratrochlear and superior labial arteries, described in the study.
• Developing educational materials on first-trimester sonographic assessment of fetal facial anatomy.
• Investigating potential biomarkers, like the 'face on fire' or 'labial rectangle' signs, for early detection of facial abnormalities.

Strengths

• Includes 162 evaluated fetuses, providing a specific cohort size.
• Data is from a focused study with a defined methodology using Micro Vascular Flow mode.
• Files are openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is from a single center in Colombia, which may reflect geographic bias.
• The dataset is small at 22.7 MB, limiting scale for some machine learning tasks.
