Cardiotocography (CTG) lacks reliability and reproducibility and these problems are believed to be overcome by computer analysis. In this article we describe a system developed for routine clinical automated CTG analysis based on a low cost personal computer. Presently the system has processed 70 ten minute tracings. Fetal heart rate baseline, acceleration--deceleration detection, and long term variability estimation were performed in a satisfactory way.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
