摘要
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 autocorrelation output is displayed as fetal heart rate (FHR), there is a risk that obstetricians may mistakenly evaluate the fetal condition based on MHR, potentially overlooking the necessity for medical intervention. This study proposes a method that utilizes Doppler ultrasound (DUS) signals and artificial intelligence (AI) to determine whether the heart rate obtained by autocorrelation is of fetal origin. We developed a system to simultaneously record DUS signals and CTG and obtained data from 425 cases. The midwife annotated the DUS signals by auditory differentiation, providing data for AI, which included 30,160 data points from the fetal heart and 2160 data points from the maternal vessel. Comparing the classification accuracy of the AI model and a simple mathematical method, the AI model achieved the best performance, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.98. Integrating this system into fetal monitoring could provide a new indicator for evaluating CTG quality.
