Uterus Contractile Activity

Graphical presentation of synchronization of contractions of normal (panel A) and fibromyomatous (panel B) uterus.

  • A - the maximal values of the cross-correlation coefficients are mainly located in the area of the positive time lags. In this area there are 99.70 per cent points of the instantaneous time shift curve. So, the propagation% parameter equals 99.70. In this case, the fundal time series mostly runs ahead of the cervical one.
  • B - the maximal values of the cross-correlation coefficients are located in the areas of the positive and negative time lags. In the area of the positive time lags are located 61.08 per cent points of the instantaneous time shift curve. In this case we have disturbed synchronization.
