This prospective clinical validation study aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based navigational support system for determining fetal lie and presentation during third-trimester ultrasound examinations. Following routine clinical assessment by an expert clinician, three blind ultrasound sweeps will be obtained from each participant. The AI system will generate predictions of fetal lie and presentation from each sweep, which will be compared with the expert clinician's assessment as the reference standard. The study will also explore clinician perceptions of the system's usability and potential clinical value.
