The Approach to Sensing the True Fetal Heart Rate for CTG Monitoring: An Evaluation of Effectiveness of Deep Learning with Doppler Ultrasound Signals
Cardiotocography (CTG) is widely used to assess fetal well-being.CTG is typically obtained using ultrasound and autocorrelation methods, which extract periodicity from the signal to calculate the heart rate.However, during labor, maternal vessel pulsations can be measured, resulting in the output of the maternal heart rate (MHR).Since the autocorre
