abstract = "Standard plane recognition plays an important role in prenatal ultrasound (US) screening. Automatically recognizing the standard plane along with the corresponding anatomical structures in US image can not only facilitate US image interpretation but also improve diagnostic efficiency. In this study, we build a novel multi-label learning (MLL) scheme to identify multiple standard planes and corresponding anatomical structures of fetus simultaneously. Our contribution is three-fold. First, we represent the class correlation by word embeddings to capture the fine-grained semantic and latent statistical concurrency. Second, we equip the MLL with a graph convolutional network to explore the inner and outer relationship among categories. Third, we propose a novel cluster relabel-based contrastive learning algorithm to encourage the divergence among ambiguous classes. Extensive validation was performed on our large in-house dataset. Our approach reports the highest accuracy as 90.25 % for standard planes labeling, 85.59 % for planes and structures labeling and mAP as 94.63 %. The proposed MLL scheme provides a novel perspective for standard plane recognition and can be easily extended to other medical image classification tasks.",
