Abstract
The Tearney Lab at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) has conducted a study using Tethered Capsule Endomicroscopy (TCE), a technique that involves swallowing a tethered capsule device that circumferentially scans an optical coherence technology (OCT) beam inside the body as it traverses the gastrointestinal tract. Throughout the procedure, microscopic images of the esophagus are acquired in real time in an unsedated subject. OCT TCE was used to screen for Barrett’s Esophagus in a setting of 2 primary care practices at MGH.The OCT TCE show promising results identifying BE in a primary care population.
