Figure 4 The circumferential, radial and longitudinal deformation of the oesophageal muscle layer is here described as the stretch ratio and as a function of the radius.
The stretch ratio and radius are calculated based on endosonography. Data are from 12 healthy volunteers and shows a tensile circumferential stretch, radial compression and longitudinal shortening. Modified from [17].
