Abstract: A method and system for assessing fetal abnormality based on landmarks. According to one embodiment, at least two coordinates are received for each of a plurality of points identifying a configuration of landmarks in a fetal image (100), and any of the received coordinates of any of the plurality of points are utilized as markers to assess fetal abnormality (110). According to another embodiment, at least two coordinates are received for each of a plurality of points identifying a configuration of landmarks in a fetal image (200), and one or more values resulting from a linear combination of any of the received coordinates of any of the plurality of points are utilized as markers to assess fetal abnormality (210).
