Abstract

Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy in which the gestational sac is implanted into the scar tissue of a previous cesarean section. It is a long-term complication of cesarean delivery, and its incidence continues to rise alongside the increasing cesarean section rate. To address the limitations of existing research in predicting severe hemorrhage using MRI features, as well as the scarcity of annotated data in pregnancy tissue testing and the reliance on experience for manual diagnosis, this paper proposes a multi-task deep learning model, SHDSY-Net, based on semi-supervised learning for early screening and risk assessment of massive bleeding in CSP patients. This model uses YOLOv8 as the backbone network and introduces the Mean Teacher semi-supervised learning framework. Through the teacher-student network structure and multi-scale pseudo-label enhancement module, it fully utilizes unlabeled data to improve the model's generalization ability. Experimental results show that, on the self-built pregnancy tissue (PT) dataset, the Dice coefficient reached 92.63% and the detection accuracy reached 92.31%. Meanwhile, the model can effectively predict the risk of intraoperative severe hemorrhage, providing an objective basis for clinical decision-making.
