This work is devoted to the problems of one of the most common screening examinations used in medical practice: fetal cardiotocography (CTG). The technology of ultrasonic monitoring of fetal heart rate (HR) variations has been used for more than 70 y...
The availability of standardized guidelines regarding the use of electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) in clinical practice has not effectively helped to solve the main drawbacks of fetal heart rate (FHR) surveillance methodology, which still presents in...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) is a fetal condition defined as the abnormal rate of fetal growth. The pathology is a documented cause of fetal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. In clinical practice, diagnosis is...
OBJECTIVES: To determine the degree of inter-rater reliability (IRR) between human and artificial intelligence (AI) interpretation of fetal heart rate tracings (FHR), and to determine whether AI-assisted electronic fetal monitoring interpretation imp...
The combination of machine vision and soft computing approaches in the clinical decisions, using training data, can improve medical decisions and treatments. The cardiotocography (CTG) monitoring and uterine activity (UA) provides useful information ...
