The present invention provides a method for monitoring the actual pressure exerted by the interior wall of a biological channel at different locations along the length of said biological channel. The method comprises: i) introducing into the lumen of the biological channel a device comprising an elongated tube and at least two expandable means located at a predetermined distance on said elongated tube; ii) inflating each of the expandable means to its contact pressure (Pc); and iii) measuring the internal pressure in each expandable means, wherein when said internal pressure is greater than Pc, the actual pressure exerted by the interior wall of the biological channel is equal to the difference between said internal pressure and Pc.

Method for monitoring pressure exerted along the length of a biological channel

A probe assembly is presented for use in monitoring one or more parameters of a subject. The probe assembly comprises: an acoustic port for transmitting acoustic radiation into a region of interest in the subject, at least one light output port for transmitting incident light towards the region of interest, at least one light input port for receiving light returned from the subject, and a control utility integrated in the probe assembly, said control utility being configured for controlling at least one condition of a monitoring procedure and enabling the monitoring procedure upon detecting that said at least one condition is satisfied.

Apparatus for non-invasive optical monitoring
