Esophageal testing aims to quantify gastroesophageal reflux or characterize esophageal
motility. Reflux monitoring traditionally has been based on the detection of acidic reflux by a …

Esophageal function tests are widely used, not only to obtain insight into esophageal
physiology and pathophysiology in a research setting, but also to diagnose esophageal …

Classic techniques like videofluoroscopy, stationary manometry, and ambulatory 24 h pH-
metry are routinely used in the clinic to study patients with dysphagia, chest pain and reflux …

This review focuses on current aspects of the novel technology of combined impedance
manometry for esophageal motility testing. It presents methodological features, summarizes …

This review provides an overview of the recent advances made in diagnostic technologies of
esophageal functional disorders. There is discussion of technologies that evaluate …

Catheter-based testing remains the current standard of practice for the diagnosis of
gastroesophageal reflux disease and esophageal motility abnormalities. Ambulatory pH …

The study of esophageal function is based on the study of esophageal motor activity using
conventional esophageal manometry (CEM), which has proven useful in the diagnosis of …

Intraluminal impedance monitoring is a new technique that can be used to detect the flow of
liquids and gas through hollow viscera. In combination with manometry, it is used for …

Background Esophageal function testing can be a useful adjunct for the evaluation of upper
GI tract symptoms. The current technology includes conventional and high-resolution …

The past decade has seen new technological advances in the investigation of oesophageal
motility disorders. Multichannel intraluminal impedance monitoring has been used as an …
