Through a platform based on Intel XPUs and Intel oneAPI Toolkits, the SonoScape obstetric screening assistant, S-Fetus 4.0, can realize up to 20× improved performance, laying a solid foundation for efficient obstetric sonography while achieving higher price performance, cross-architecture scalability, and flexibility.

Performance Improvement with the Intel oneAPI Base Toolkit. Baseline: Code before optimization; Optimization 1: Intel oneAPI DPC++ Compiler; Optimization 2: Intel IPP used to replace loop source code; Optimization 3: Intel IPP used to replace OpenCV functions; Optimization 4: CPU + iGPU execution after CUDA migration

With the consensus of together reaching a new height, SonoScape endeavors to add value to practitioners and patients alike. The advanced findings of leveraged Al functionality under the joint exploration by SonoScape and Intel have been hailed as a success in obstetric solutions. 

Through innovative progression in the ultrasound field, let's enjoy advanced Al-accessible care brought by technical breakthroughs, and expect its further performance while acting as a sophisticated problem solver in the future.
