Description
Summary:The wavelet transform, which is a new time-scale technique suitable for transient signal detection is applied to phonocardiogram signals taken from group of patients. It has been shown that using this new technique the separation between normal and abnormal subject could easily be obtained. Moreover, a separation between the high frequency systolic and diastolic murmurs, and the low frequency systolic and diastolic murmurs can be achieved. Furthermore, the temporal location of the auscultatory gap can be detected, which is usually very difficult to discern even to the trained ear.
