Abstract:
An apparatus and method are provided for use in studying a patient's bowel which combines recording and analysis of physiologic parameters and patient sensory perception. A pain input detector, a pain transducer, and a processor are provided. A gas pressure transducer and flow meter may also be provided. Output data may be generated to reflect perceived patient pain, volume of gas delivered to the patient's bowel, and bowel pressure. An indication of perceived patient pain is processed by the processor to generate data that may used to validate a scan of a patient or may be used as a diagnostic tool.

Claim (Index 31):
A method for providing a representation indicative of a scanning condition of a patient's colon comprising:\n insufflating a patient's colon with gas; detecting, via a pressure transducer, a pressure level of the gas within the patient's colon; generating, via the pressure transducer, an output indicative of the pressure level detected; detecting, via a flow meter, a volume level of gas delivered to the patient's colon; generating, via the flow meter, an output indicative of the volume level detected; receiving, via a processor in communication with the pressure transducer, the output indicative of the pressure level detected; receiving, via the processor in communication with the flow meter, the output indicative of the volume level detected; and presenting, via a display in communication with the processor, a representation of at least one of the pressure level detected or the volume level detected over time.
