摘要

A probe for detecting reflux in the oesophagus by detecting the level of turbidity at different points in the oesophagus. The probe consists of multiple pairs (32) of optical fibres with each pair being made up of a source optical fibre (2) and a detection optical fibre (3), a light source being attached to the source optical fibres and a light detector being attached to the detection optical fibres.
