Figure 1. Comparison of anorectal pressures analyzed with the existing (ManoView) and new methods.
Upper panel displays mean anal resting pressure, maximum anal squeeze pressure, and the rectoanal gradient during evacuation with an empty and a filled balloon. Observe the excellent agreement between pressures measured with the ManoView software and the reverse engineering technique. In the Bland-Altman plots (lower panel), the black dotted lines show the upper and lower limits of agreement for 11.96*standard deviation and the black solid lines show the mean difference. Except for the anal squeeze pressure, the Bland Altman test was not significant. CCC = Concordance Correlation Coefficient
