Esophageal function display and playback system and method for displaying esophageal function
First Claim
1. A system for displaying a representation of esophageal operation of a subject comprising:
- a display device;
an interface capable of receiving esophageal impedance and pressure measurements; and
a processing system in communication with said display device, said interface, and an esophageal operation model, with said processing system configured to receive a plurality of impedance values detected at a first plurality of spaced-apart esophageal locations, receive a plurality of pressure values detected at a second plurality of spaced-apart esophageal locations, process said plurality of impedance values and said plurality of pressure values with said esophageal operation model, generate display data that is a representation of a bolus transit from said plurality of impedance values, and generate display data that is a representation of esophageal movement from said plurality of pressure values.

Abstract
A system and method for displaying an esophageal operation includes a display device, an interface capable of receiving esophageal impedance and pressure measurements, and a processing system in communication with the display device, the interface, and an esophageal operation model. The processing system is configured to receive a plurality of impedance values from a first plurality of spaced-apart esophageal locations, receive a plurality of pressure values from a second plurality of spaced-apart esophageal locations, process the plurality of impedance values and the plurality of pressure values with the esophageal operation model, display the plurality of impedance values on the display device as a bolus transit, and display the plurality of pressure values on the display device as operational esophagus movement.
