A manometric feature descriptor with linear-SVM to distinguish esophageal contraction vigor [PDF]
n clinical, if a patient presents with nonmechanical obstructive dysphagia, esophageal chest pain, and gastro esophageal reflux symptoms, the physician will usually assess the esophageal dynamic function. High-resolution manometry (HRM) is a clinically commonly used technique for detection of esophageal dynamic function comprehensively and objectively.

Diagnosis of Dysphagia: High Resolution Manometry & EndoFLIP
Esophageal motility disorders were re-defined when high-resolution manometry was employed to better understand their pathogenesis. Newly developed parameters including integrated relaxation pressure (IRP), distal contractile integral, and distal latency ...

Comparison of intraocular pressure readings with Perkins, Tonopen, iCare 200, and iCare Home to manometry in cadaveric eyes [PDF]
AIM: To compare intraocular pressure (IOP) readings obtained with Perkins tonometry, iCare Home, iCare 200, and Tonopen to IOP readings obtained with the manometer of a perfusion system to assess the accuracy and reproducibility of each method of ...

A mechanics--based perspective on the function of human sphincters during functional luminal imaging probe manometry [PDF]
Functional luminal imaging probe (FLIP) is used to measure cross-sectional area (CSA) and pressure at sphincters. It consists of a catheter surrounded by a fluid filled cylindrical bag, closed on both ends. Plotting the pressure-CSA hysteresis of a sphincter during a contraction cycle, which is available through FLIP testing, offers information on its ...
