Pilot Study for OFDI Imaging of the Esophagus
This study is testing a new way to image (take pictures of) the esophagus (the tube connecting your mouth to your stomach) using a device called an OFDI (Optical Frequency Domain Imaging) capsule. This capsule is attached to a string and helps doctors see inside your esophagus. The goal is to see how well this new compact imaging system works, how easy it is to use, and if it's safe for people with Barrett's Esophagus (a condition where the lining of the esophagus changes) and healthy volunteers. We are looking for 10 healthy participants and 10 participants with Barrett's Esophagus, aged 14 to 85 years old. The main goal is to check the quality and performance of the imaging system during a 5-7 minute imaging session. The current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study involving 20 participants (10 healthy, 10 with Barrett's Esophagus). It is a pilot study, meaning it's an initial test of the new imaging system.
- What's involved
- You would undergo imaging of your esophagus with the OFDI capsule, which involves the capsule being guided down your esophagus while images are acquired in real time.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary endpoint is measured at 5-7 minutes of imaging, suggesting a short follow-up period during the imaging session itself.

What this trial measures
- Assessment of quality and performance of Compact Imaging System (CIS)5-7 Minutes of imaging
Images obtained from the CIS will be assessed for quality and compared to images acquired from the previous imaging system
