On Measurement System for Frequency of Uterine Peristalsis
Summary :
The frequency of uterine peristalsis is closely related to the success rate of pregnancy. An ultrasonic imaging is almost always employed for the measure of the frequency. The physician subjectively evaluates the frequency from the ultrasound image by the naked eyes. This paper aims to measure the frequency of uterine peristalsis from the ultrasound image. The ultrasound image consists of relative amounts in the brightness, and the contour of the uterine is not clear. It was not possible to measure the frequency by using the inter-frame difference and optical flow, which are the representative methods of motion detection, since uterine peristaltic movement is too small to apply them. This paper proposes a measurement method of the frequency of the uterine peristalsis from the ultrasound image in the implantation phase. First, traces of uterine peristalsis are semi-automatically done from the images with location-axis and time-axis. Second, frequency analysis of the uterine peristalsis is done by Fourier transform for 3 minutes. As a result, the frequency of uterine peristalsis was known as the frequency with the dominant frequency ingredient with maximum value among the frequency spectrums. Thereby, we evaluate the number of the frequency of uterine peristalsis quantitatively from the ultrasound image. Finally, the success rate of pregnancy is calculated from the frequency based on Fuzzy logic. This enabled us to evaluate the success rate of pregnancy by measuring the uterine peristalsis from the ultrasound image.
