OCT Pilot in Esophagus

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Barrett Esophagus
Interventions
Device: optical coherence tomography
Registration Number
NCT03434834
Lead Sponsor
Duke University
Brief Summary

This is a pilot study to test a newly developed optical coherence tomography (OCT) device to determine 1) whether adequate tissue contact can be attained to acquire high quality images, and 2) to identify if these images can discern whether the imaged tissue is squamous or Barrett's Esophagus (BE) epithelium.
