Abstract
In today's modern medical practice, many imaging techniques are used for diagnosis or treatment. Some of these methods directly and some indirectly provide information about the target organ or region. At that point, it would be possible to accept that the acquisition of information about the internal parts of the body may be critical for diagnosis. In addition to the capabilities of medical imaging techniques, acoustic monitoring is also accepted as one of the supportive medical approaches today. Accordingly, thanks to the increased processing power of computers and developed algorithms, the analysis of sounds obtained from the heart, lungs and abdomen has become more detailed and accurate day by day. In this study, an acoustic instrument was developed and sounds were collected from the abdomen with the help of this device. Acoustic data on intestinal activity were obtained by filtering the collected sounds on the computer. The spectral characteristic of this data is revealed with various features for further diagnostic studies.
