Figure 9.32 Dimensional Vector volume plot
The 3D vector volume plot is created from the pressures measured during the
pull-through of the catheter through the rectum. The profile is divided in
several segments of fixed length. The maximum pressure in each segment for
each channel is used to draw the three-dimensional sphincter image.
The Vector Volume Plot of the sphincter is displayed in the left window. It can
be rotated in any direction by means of the cursor keys or the mouse. The 3D
plot consists of several segments, displayed in different colors. These colors
have the following meaning:
Color Meaning
Red Segment with highest pressure
Light Blue Segment with lowest pressure
Green Active segment
Dark Blue All other segments
The radial cross-section of the active segment is displayed in the radial cross-
section graph in the window on the right.
In the vector volume plot header, the type and number of the profile on which
the VVP is based are displayed. Two buttons are added to the toolbar, with
