Recording of the electro-gastro-enterogram (E.G.E.G.) and the simultaneous taking of a 70 mm ampliphotography series shows the high degree of correlation between E.G.E.G. and peristaltis, with characteristic waves for each part of the digestive tract, both in the normal condition as well as in certain pathological states. The future and role of the E.G.E.G. appear very promising, on the one hand by virtue of its simplicity and secondly because of the information it is capable of providing from a functional viewpoint. In no case, however, can it replace the precise nature of radiological images.
