How data were acquired | Body-uterus geometry was imaged by Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and segmented using Amira software (Version 6.2). Electrograms and isochrone maps under deformation or electrical noise were reconstructed by Electromyometrial imaging (EMMI). |
Data format | Raw computational Analyzed |
Parameters for data collection | Images of uterus and abdomen were acquired using human MRI scanner from an anesthetized sheep. The sheep uterine electrograms were recorded during a surgical procedure to expose the sheep uterus [2]. Laplacian deformation algorithm was employed to simulate and generate geometrical changes under ideal elastic deformation conditions. |
Description of data collection | MRI images of uterus and abdomen were acquired using a radial VIBE fast T1-weighted sequence from an anesthetized sheep. MRI images were segmented and rendered to uterus and body mesh. The sheep uterus was exposed surgically, and an elastic sock containing 64 or 128 sintered Ag–AgCl electrodes was slipped over the uterus to record the electrograms at a 2 kHz sampling rate using Biosemi system [2]. Gaussian and Perline noise were simulated with the SNR = 17.5 dB. Maximum body-uterus deformation ratios simulated for Type I kick, Type II kick, contraction were 0.3, 0.3, 0.14, respectively. The standard deviation of deformation distance of fetal/maternal movements is 0.67 cm. |
