Manual landmarking is time-consuming, operator-dependent, and sensitive to variability across scanners and sites, limiting the reproducibility of automated approaches. There is a need for multi-source annotated datasets to develop artificial intelligence-assisted fetal growth assessment methods. To address this bottleneck, we present an open, multi-centre, multi-device benchmark dataset of fetal US images with expert anatomical landmark annotations for clinically used fetal biometric measurements. These measurements include head bi-parietal and occipito-frontal diameters, abdominal transverse and antero-posterior diameters, and femoral length. The dataset contains 4,513 de-identified US images from 1,904 subjects acquired at three clinical sites using seven different US devices. We provide standardised, subject-disjoint train/test splits, evaluation code, and baseline results to enable fair and reproducible comparison of methods. Using an automatic biometry model, we quantify domain shift and demonstrate that training and evaluation confined to a single centre substantially overestimate performance relative to multi-centre testing. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first publicly available multi-centre, multi-device, landmark-annotated dataset that covers all primary fetal biometry measures, providing a robust benchmark for domain adaptation and multi-centre generalisation in fetal biometry and enabling more reliable AI-assisted fetal growth assessment across centres. All data, annotations, training code, and evaluation pipelines are made publicly available at https://github.com/surgical-vision/Multicentre-Fetal-Biometry.git.

Using an automatic biometry model, we quantify domain shift and demonstrate that training and evaluation confined to a single centre substantially overestimate performance relative to multi-centre testing. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first publicly available multi-centre, multi-device, landmark-annotated dataset that covers all primary fetal biometry measures, providing a robust benchmark for domain adaptation and multi-centre generalisation in fetal biometry and enabling more reliable AI-assisted fetal growth assessment across centres. All data, annotations, training code, and evaluation pipelines are made publicly available at https://github.com/surgical-vision/Multicentre-Fetal-Biometry.git.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"A multi-centre, multi-device benchmark dataset for landmark-based comprehensive fetal biometry","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2026-01-12 22:34:23","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-8405225/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0},{"type":"decision","content":"Revision requested","date":"2026-03-11T07:20:48+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2026-02-26T04:12:12+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"36946163754152308201585665003060045420","date":"2026-02-16T14:06:20+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"310015789441592148480563519760817605637","date":"2026-02-16T01:34:48+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2026-01-29T02:58:15+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"255648230347152032626252735525265829230","date":"2026-01-15T19:50:10+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"229909066496842735226449420218573016647","date":"2026-01-15T18:24:45+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"244678923229322076580957392671185417910","date":"2026-01-13T19:38:16+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"155921124295119376519037207318311088123","date":"2026-01-08T20:36:15+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewersInvited","content":"","date":"2026-01-08T16:26:41+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorAssigned","content":"","date":"2026-01-08T16:19:03+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvited","content":"","date":"2025-12-30T17:21:07+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"checksComplete","content":"","date":"2025-12-29T09:29:39+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"submitted","content":"Scientific Reports","date":"2025-12-29T09:22:52+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"scientific-reports","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":false,"externalIdentity":"scirep","sideBox":"Learn more about [Scientific Reports](http://www.nature.com/srep/)","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"","title":"Scientific Reports","twitterHandle":"","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":true,"editorialSystem":"stoa","reportingPortfolio":"Scientific Reports","inReviewEnabled":true,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"e296650d-5126-49f3-aaca-ab034b9748f5","owner":[],"postedDate":"January 12th, 2026","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"published-in-journal","subjectAreas":[{"id":60950532,"name":"Health sciences/Anatomy"},{"id":60950533,"name":"Biological sciences/Computational biology and bioinformatics"},{"id":60950534,"name":"Physical sciences/Engineering"},{"id":60950535,"name":"Health sciences/Health care"},{"id":60950536,"name":"Physical sciences/Mathematics and computing"},{"id":60950537,"name":"Health sciences/Medical research"}],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2026-04-20T16:08:36+00:00","versionOfRecord":{"articleIdentity":"rs-8405225","link":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-026-47854-3","journal":{"identity":"scientific-reports","isVorOnly":false,"title":"Scientific Reports"},"publishedOn":"2026-04-14 15:59:15","publishedOnDateReadable":"April 14th, 2026"},"versionCreatedAt":"2026-01-12 22:34:23","video":"","vorDoi":"10.1038/s41598-026-47854-3","vorDoiUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-026-47854-3","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-8405225","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-8405225","identity":"rs-8405225","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"XKTyCvWXoU3ODBz1xrDgd","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
