Abstract :
This paper describes the techniques and methodologies utilized for the quantification of fetal and neonatal blood parameters using trans-abdominal, noninvasive optical techniques. It also reports the results obtained on the localization of fetal head using frequency domain spectrometer studies on vibro-acoustic stimulation.
