Abstract

BACKGROUND: Clinically cardiotocography is a technique which is used to monitor and evaluate the level of fetal distress. Even though, CTG is the most widely used device to monitor determine the fetus health, existence of high false positive result from the visual interpretation has a significant contribution to unnecessary surgical delivery or delayed intervention.
