Example Sentences
- "Long-term ambulatory pH-metry is of clinical value in detecting pathologic reflux in symptomatic patients with negative endoscopy."
- "Laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD) cases are common in clinical practice and usually neglected for want of a definitive diagnosis. Diagnosis requires a documented evidence of fall in pH levels in the laryngopharynx with dual-probe 24-hour ambulatory pH-metry. […] Dual-sensor pH-metry is confirmatory for establishing diagnosis of LPRD."
Etymology
From translingual pH + -metry.
