Measuring the Spectrum of Tissues During Endoscopy

• Conditions: Colonic Polyps; Intestinal Polyps; Colon Carcinoma
• Interventions: Procedure: An optical fiber, inside the work channel of an endoscope, is added to the endoscopic examination

• Registration Number: NCT00996619
• Lead Sponsor: Sheba Medical Center

Brief Summary

Lesions, polyps and other abnormalities in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract have a different composition compared to the normal mucose. The investigators plan to gather spectroscopic information from these features. Characterizing their unique spectrums, may help to enhance the detection and identification of these objects during endoscopy.
