Magnetogastrography

Magnetogastrography

Magnetogastrography is the science of recording magnetogastrograms (MGGs). Magnetogastrograms are recordings of magnetic fields resulting from electrical activity from the stomach and can be considered similar to electrocardiograms. The magnetic fields are typically recorded using SQUIDs.
