Determination of fetus heart rate based 2D ultrasound

A Doppler is a form of ultrasound scans that helps to monitor the baby's health during pregnancy. It can measure the blood flow of fetal heart. At the same time as a normal ultrasound, it can show by creating a 2D image on screen how the fetal heart is beating. This information can actually be used to obtain information of fetal heart rate. The method of contour tracing is used to separate fetal heart from its background. There are some parts of the heart moving but only the atrium area is selected as a beating reference. The measuring success of fetal heart rate compare to medical test is about 88.82% by six-recorded 2D ultrasound.
