Abstract

Actocardiogram

Ultrasonic Doppler actocardiogram was simultaneous tracing of FHR and fetal movement signals on the monitoring chart, created in 1984 by Maeda. Fetal behavior was easily studied, false-positive nonreactive FHR and physiological sinusoidal FHR were differentiated, the severity of fetal CNS lesion and common fetal disorders were determined, short and long-term outcomes were diagnosed in multiple grades

GLHW

It is clinical tissue characterization by common ultrasonic B-mode apparatus. Placental tissue was characterized and grade-3 placenta was detected. Placental origin of FGR was diagnosed and meconium stained turbid amniotic fluid was differentiated from clear fluid. Fetal periventricular echodensity preceding neonatal PVL was analyzed; 96% of fetal lung immaturity was noninvasively detected endometrial; benign hyperplasia, carcinoma, benign ovarian mass and malignancy were differentiated.
