Lead systems for the abdominal fetal electrocardiogram

The literature on abdominal FECG has been studied for design principles of a lead system for recording FECG signals at the maternal abdomen. The indications are compared, contrasted, and combined with the results obtained from basic FECG data collected in a study on the modelling of the FECG.
