Estimation of Percentage of Electrogastrogram Slow Wave Rhythm / 航天医学与医学工程

ABSTRACT

Objective To improve the estimation and the percentage of electrogastrogram(EGG)slow wave rhythm with power spectrum estimation and calculation rule set.Methods Chirp Z-transformation was introduced for estimation power spectrum of EGG,which can obtain both high frequency resolution and accurate estimation of power;while the power proportion of main frequency components in each segment was used to substitute for conventional method in time domain.Results The variance of proposed method was about one-eighth of that of conventional method.Incorporating the power proportion of main frequency components,the proposed method gave better results especially for those EGG signals in which abnormal frequencies appeared frequently.Conclusion As compared with the conventional method,the proposed method is less affected by segmentation process in estimating the percentage of EGG slow wave rhythm,which may promote future clinical applications.
