Abstract
Proposed concepts aim to provide schemes, solutions, concepts, designs, methods and systems pertaining to predicting a remaining duration of a cardiotocograph (CTG) scanning session of a subject. In particular, CTG data and movement data of the subject during the scanning session are obtained. This data is then analysed to identify artifacts in the CTG data associated with movement of the subject. From the CTG data, movement data and artifacts, a remaining duration of the CTG scanning session can be predicted. In this way, despite the potential for signal drop-outs during the scanning session, acquisition of a sufficient amount of CTG data during the scanning session may be assured.
Claims17
A method for predicting a remaining duration of a cardiotocography CTG scanning session of a subject, the method comprising:
- obtaining CTG data associated with the subject during a CTG scanning session;
- obtaining movement data describing a movement of the subject during the CTG scanning session;
- identifying artifacts in the CTG data associated with the movement of the subject based on the CTG data and the movement data;
- and
- analyzing the CTG data, the movement data and the artifacts to predict a remaining duration of the CTG scanning session.
A system for predicting a remaining duration of a cardiotocography CTG scanning session, the system comprising:
- an interface configured to obtain CTG data associated with a subject during a CTG scanning session, and movement data describing a movement of the subject during the CTG scanning session;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- identify artifacts in the CTG data associated with the movement of the subject based on the CTG data and the movement data;
- and
- analyze the CTG data, the movement data and the artifacts to predict a remaining duration of the CTG scanning session.
