Automated calculation of the Distal Contractile Integral in Esophageal Pressure Topography with a region-growing algorithm

BACKGROUND: The Distal Contractile Integral (DCI) is an index of contractile vigor in high-resolution esophageal pressure topography (EPT) calculated as the product of amplitude, duration, and span of the distal esophageal contraction. The aim of this study was to develop an automated algorithm calc...
