The goal of this research is to test a distal scanning capsule and a compact redesigned version of the OFDI imaging system in healthy and BE participants to assess ease of use, safety and feasibility in preparation for its use in a multicenter clinical trial.
Ten healthy participants and ten participants with a previous diagnosis of Barrett's Esophagus (BE) will be enrolled in the study. The capsule is attached to a string-like tether which allows the operator to control as well as navigate the capsule as it progresses down the esophagus using peristalsis. Images of the esophagus will be acquired in real time to be analyzed later.
