In the last 3 years a new technologic breakthrough has taken place in the evaluation of gastrointestinal motor function It is called high resolution manometry Rather than the old 4 to 8 channel conventional systems used to measure intraluminal pressure high resolution catheters employ 36 closely spaced solid state pressure transducers This technology enhances the resolution of gut motor activity incredibly By using color to depict pressure high resolution color contours are beautiful images that give a detailed spatial and temporal picture of gastrointestinal motor function that was previously impossible By recognizing motor patterns diagnoses can be made that are very difficult if not impossible to appreciate with the old technology High resolution manometry is a dramatic technical leap in a long time stagnant field Book jacket While reflux disease achalasia esophageal esophageal spasm gastroparesis and IBS include some of the most common disorders in all disease categories the understanding of their pathophysiology has remained elusive The field of clinical gastrointestinal motility has for decades relied on the measurement of intestinal movements for diagnosis and management of these difficult and enigmatic disorders of gut function Although computers have increased the speed with which we can measure the movements of the gut the devices to measure this movement have not changed in over 20 years In the last 2 years a new technologic breakthrough has taken place in the measurement of intestinal movement The technology is called high resolution manometry Rather than the old 4 and 8 channels systems of measuring pressure high resolution employees 36 closely spaced solid state pressure transducers By using this technology the resolution of gut motor activity is incredible This allows for better ways of viewing motility using color as pressure This technology makes for beautiful images of gut motility that we have never seen before We, ISBN13: B007YZTZOG ISBN10: B007YZTZOG Material Type: hardcoverIn the last 3 years a new technologic breakthrough has taken place in the evaluation of gastrointestinal motor function It is called high resolution manometry Rather than the old 4 to 8 channel conventional systems used to measure intraluminal pressure high resolution catheters employ 36 closely spaced solid state pressure transducers This technology enhances the resolution of gut motor activity incredibly By using color to depict pressure high resolution color contours are beautiful images that give a detailed spatial and temporal picture of gastrointestinal motor function that was previously impossible By recognizing motor patterns diagnoses can be made that are very difficult if not impossible to appreciate with the old technology High resolution manometry is a dramatic technical leap in a long time stagnant field Book jacket While reflux disease achalasia esophageal esophageal spasm gastroparesis and IBS include some of the most common disorders in all disease categories the understanding of their pathophysiology has remained elusive The field of clinical gastrointestinal motility has for decades relied on the measurement of intestinal movements for diagnosis and management of these difficult and enigmatic disorders of gut function Although computers have increased the speed with which we can measure the movements of the gut the devices to measure this movement have not changed in over 20 years In the last 2 years a new technologic breakthrough has taken place in the measurement of intestinal movement The technology is called high resolution manometry Rather than the old 4 and 8 channels systems of measuring pressure high resolution employees 36 closely spaced solid state pressure transducers By using this technology the resolution of gut motor activity is incredible This allows for better ways of viewing motility using color as pressure This technology makes for beautiful images of gut motility that we have never seen before We, ISBN13: B007YZTZOG ISBN10: B007YZTZOG Material Type: hardcover , ISBN13: B007YZTZOG ISBN10: B007YZTZOG Material Type: hardcover
