The present paper is concerned with problems of automatic analysis of radiograms, specially cinegastrographies. This study is connected with the utilisation of an interactive system including optical digitizer with its units of control and visualization. This system can explore the radiologic film in its current size of 30 X 40 cm. The particular interest of this application is extracting several parameters characterizing the size and the shape of the stomach. A middle axis can be extracted by computing, from this one a spatio-temporal diagram can be obtained. From this methodology of representation, several states of gastric motility could be characterized.
