Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) risk decision based on support vector machines

► IUGR risk estimation using noninvasive Doppler indices:PI s and RI s of UA, MCA and DV and AFI's are analyzed. ► The Doppler indices are applied to the SVM system to make a decision on the fetal wellbeing. ► PI indices of UA, MCA and DV are stable and balanced indicators of IUGR at risk.
