The purpose of the work – studying the possibilities of using artificial intelligence in obstetrics to diagnose fetal malformations and prevent the occurrence of various diseases. Materials and methods of work. The search for scientific information was conducted using domestic and foreign Internet resources of Google Scholar, PubMed, Medscape, Scopus and Web of Science databases, etc., as well as on the web pages of international medical organizations. as well as on the web pages of international medical organizations using certain keywords: artificial intelligence, use of artificial intelligence in obstetrics and gynecology, diagnosis of fetal malformations, prevention of gynecological diseases, ultrasound in obstetrics and gynecology, trimesters of pregnancy, telemedicine in obstetrics and gynecology The depth of the search was 10 years. Results. The effectiveness of using artificial intelligence and various algorithms based on it to improve the analysis of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound images of fetal structures, assessment of organ function and diagnosis of diseases was proved. The advantages of the application of artificial intelligence in ultrasound in obstetrics, as well as the disadvantages and prospects of its use are determined. Significant advances in the application of artificial intelligence in obstetrics and gynecology are shown, identifying the need for further research and improvements with respect to achieving universality and improving the effectiveness of many of the models developed. It is indicated that the studies conducted have applied a significant number of mechanisms to overcome the dilemma of limited accuracy, among which the development of ensemble algorithms, the use of ultrasound videos, the incorporation of features in complementary imaging techniques and others have been applied. It is proved that the development of algorithms for telemedicine fetal ultrasound service can combine a specialized fetal medicine center and a remote obstetric department, which will provide high-quality ultrasound and rapid specialist consultation, as well as significantly reduce family costs and time to get the patient to a hospital facility. In addition, these techniques are shown to be useful in transnational consultations due to the fact that telemedicine and telediagnostic services can significantly increase access to diagnostic obstetric ultrasound in resource-limited settings. Meanwhile, in medical education in obstetrics and gynecology, telemedicine and virtual reality become a new way of simulation-based ultrasound training, which significantly improves learning efficiency and knowledge retention during training. Conclusion. Thus, the use of artificial intelligence in fetal ultrasound in different trimesters of pregnancy helps clinicians in the diagnosis of various conditions and diseases, as it can increase efficiency, reduce the number of misdiagnoses and missed diagnoses, effectively improve the quality of medical services and, finally, benefit patients.
