Incorrect. 24-hour pH monitoring measures the amount of acid in the esophagus over a 24-hour period. It does not assess muscle pressure and coordination.
Incorrect. An upper gastrointestinal (GI) series involves X-ray imaging of the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine with the use of a contrast material. It does not measure muscle pressure and coordination.
