The influence of misaligned (left panels) and curved (right panels) intestinal segments on ST-profiles. The experiments were performed with straight and aligned segments (upper ST maps) and with the modified segments (lower ST maps). The width and slope of the propagating contractions in the ST maps were not greatly influenced by these modest misalignments or curvatures. The dashed and vertical lines in the misaligned preparation indicate the small error in estimating the diameter caused by this misalignment.
