Fig. 2. Correlation between esophagography and high-resolution manometry (HRM) findings. (A) Straight, sigmoid, and advanced sigmoid esophagus based on diagnosis using HRM. (A) Straight, sigmoid, and advanced sigmoid esophagus based on diagnosis using high-resolution manometry (HRM). A total of 2512 patients diagnosed using Starlet HRM and esophagography are analyzed. Sigmoid esophagus and advanced sigmoid esophagus are found mostly in patients with type I or type II achalasia (P < 0.001). (B) Grades I, II, and III esophageal dilation based on diagnosis using HRM. In total, 2510 patients who underwent Starlet HRM and esophagography are analyzed. Grades II and III esophageal dilation are found mostly in patients with type I or type II achalasia (P < 0.001).
