Abstract: | It is proposed to use information on the direction of reflector movement and extensive filtering in the detection of fetal
breathing and cardiac movements in the ultrasonic Doppler signal recorded on the surface of the material abdomen. The method
appears fairly insensitive to spurious signals and allows those of interest to be distinguished without any reference technique.
A decision rule for breathing and cardiac rhythm detection, incorporating movement direction, amplitude, shape and periodicity
criteria, is also proposed. |
