Instrumental Methods for Diagnosis of Esophageal Motility Disorders

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

Digestive tract diseases are among the five most common types of diseases in Russia. This shows the importance of timely diagnosis of disorders of the digestive tract and the motor function of the esophagus in particular. This is due to the fact that motor dysfunction of the esophagus can cause a variety of gastrointestinal diseases. The most common diseases caused by disorders of esophageal motility are gastroesophageal reflux disease, achalasia, nutcracker esophagus, and diffuse esophageal spasm. The diagnosis of these diseases is based on the detection of pressure changes in the body of the esophagus. This work presents technology for diagnosis of esophagus motility disorders based on measurement of pressure, impedance, and pH level in the esophagus.
