DIAGNOSTIC OPTIONS
In many cases, an oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD) alone is not enough to diagnose dysphagia. As many as 70% of endoscopies performed on patients with oesophageal symptoms are inconclusive.1
Impedance planimetry provides additional data that helps physicians better diagnose motility disorders and can be administered during an OGD, allowing both tests to be completed at once. This eliminates excessive testing, reduces the need for repeat visits, and lowers risk by avoiding subsequent sedation.
