Radu Tutuian, and Donald O Castell
Dr. Tutuian is Head of the Gastrointestinal Functional Unit in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the University of Zurich. Dr. Castell is Professor of Medicine in the Division of Gastroenterology/Hepatology at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.

Multichannel intraluminal impedance is a relatively new technology that allows detection of bolus movement in the gastrointestinal tract without the use of radiation. In clinical applications it is combined with manometry, allowing a better evaluation of the functional characteristics (ie, bolus transit) of esophageal motility abnormalities. When combined with pH monitoring, it provides more comprehensive data on both acid and nonacid gastroesophageal reflux.
