“…This is clearly an advantage, since the structure and surrounding tissues are heterogeneously distributed along the longitudinal axis. Variations in distensibility along the sphincter can be explained by the heterogeneous anatomy and active muscle function of the sphincters [39,54,56,57,69]. In addition to assessment of sphincter wall heterogeneity caused by changes in the mechanical properties and muscle tone, FLIP measurement is also capable of showing alterations caused by diseases, such as achalasia [47,68], systemic sclerosis [57], and idiopathic fecal incontinence [56].…”
