Single Channel Cutaneous Electrogastrography on Local White Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and Its Electrogastrogram Classification Algorithm

It has been a common practice to place electrodes based on external landmarks, rather than locating the appropriate organ first by imaging techniques such as CT scan, ultrasonography, etc. Therefore, aside from abiding the cutaneous EGG (electrogastrography) electrodes placement rule, identification of its waveform should be performed to ease the validation of one’s EGG recording method. This research focused on the assembly of EGG instrument, its performance testing, and its usage on 13 local white rabbits (O. cuniculus). A total of 72 recordings obtained and processed. Data processing implies EGG parameterisation based on segmentation and time domain analysis. Therefore this research gives an insight of an EGG recording method that could be applied on another preclinical, veterinary, and even for clinical examination.
