Functional Magnetic Resonance in the Evaluation of Oesophageal Motility Disorders by Francesco Covotta, Luca Piretta, Danilo Badiali, Andrea Laghi, Tommaso Biondi, Enrico S. Corazziari, Valeria Panebianco

“…Considering that fMRI was shown to offer valuable information on bolus transit and on the caliber of the esophagus, variations of these two parameters in the different types of esophageal motor alterations have been assessed. fMRI, compared to manometry and videofluoroscopy, showed that a deranged or absent peristalsis is significantly associated with slower transit time and with increased esophageal diameter. Although further studies are needed, fMRI represents a promising noninvasive technique for the integrated functional and morphological evaluation of esophageal motility disorders.…”
