Optical Imaging Techniques for the Detection of Esophageal Neoplasia in Barrett’s Esophagus

The main objective of this research was to develop a two-stage optical imaging platform to improve detection of cancer in Barrett’s esophagus (BE). BE caused by chronic reflux and patients with BE are at a higher risk for developing esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). However, neoplasia in BE is often...
