Accurately obtaining the pressure information in the biliary tract is crucial for the diagnosis, treatment plan formulation, and prognosis evaluation of diseases such as gallstones, cholangitis, and biliary tract obstruction.

[0003] Currently, there are many drawbacks in the existing biliary tract pressure monitoring methods. Some traditional biliary tract pressure monitoring methods are invasive operations, which means that a greater degree of invasive operation on the patient is required during the monitoring process.
