To gauge head growth and identify foetal anomalies, it is crucial to examine head shape during the foetal period. The most popular imaging technique for carrying out this assessment is prenatal ultrasonography. On the other hand, manual interpretation of these images is difficult, hence methods for image processing have been put out in the literature to help with this task. The goal of this essay is to review these cutting-edge techniques. This study aims to evaluate and categorize the various image processing methods applied to ultrasound imaging to evaluate the foetal head. For foetal head examination, numerous image processing techniques have been put forth. In conclusion, methods from several categories demonstrated their potential to enhance clinical practice. However, more study is required to improve the existing techniques, particularly for 3D image acquisition and analysis for detection of abnormality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
