Summary
A Computer system was designed and applied to anorectal manometry that allows pressure data to be analysed in various ways. Two kinds of applications were presented. Image analysis enabled anorectal movements to be visualized as a three-dimensional image. This technique was shown to be useful in studying the pathophysiology of chronic constipation in children. Radial Variation analysis demonstrated that there was no significant radial difference in the anal-canal pressure.
Zusammenfassung
Es wurde ein Computersystem für die anorektale Manometrie entwickelt, das verschiedene Analysen der Manometriedaten ermöglicht. Zwei Anwendungsgebiete werden beschrieben. Die Bildanalyse erlaubt die dreidimensionale Darstellung der anorektalen Bewegungsabläufe und erweist sich somit als wertvolle Technik zum Studium der Pathophysiologie der chronischen Obstipation im Kindesalter. Die Druckvektoranalyse ergab keine signifikanten Unterschiede der Druckvektoren im Analkanal.
Résumé
Une informatisation de la manométrie anorectale a été mise au point, permettant ainsi une analyse multicentrique des résultats de la manométrie. Les auteurs décrivent deux champs d’application. L’analyse des images permet une représentation tridimensionnelle des mouvements anorectaux, apportant une aide précieuse dans l’étude des aspects physiopathologiques de la constipation chronique de l’enfant. L’analyse de la variation des vecteurs de pression n’a pas montré de différence significative entre ceux du canal anal.
