Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for monitoring uterine contractions non-invasively using surface electrode measurements are described herein.
Claims20
A method for imaging uterine contractions in a patient, the method comprising:
- providing an atlas comprising a reference body surface-uterus geometry;
- positioning a plurality of sensors on a body surface of the patient;
- obtaining a plurality of patient-specific sensor positions corresponding to the plurality of sensors using a 3D optical scanner;
- and
- transforming the plurality of patient-specific sensor positions to a patient-specific body surface-uterus geometry by projecting the plurality of patient-specific sensor positions onto the reference body surface-uterus geometry of the atlas.
