An Algorithm for Processing High-Resolution Manometry of the Upper Organs of the Gastrointestinal Tract

Resumo

We describe here an algorithm for processing data from high-resolution manometric investigations of the esophagus providing automated measurement of temporospatial boundaries on color pressure topography plots and calculation of manometric parameters. Use of this algorithm significantly decreases diagnosis time in diseases of the upper organs of the gastrointestinal tract and simplifies procedures using long-term (24 h) traces.
