Abstract
OCT-based tethered capsule endomicroscopy (TCE) is an emerging tool for unsedated Barrett’s Esophagus (BE) screening. Cancer progression risk is best determined by acquiring and analyzing a BE tissue sample. We report a TCE device with a biopsy channel capable of extracting tissue samples in an unsedated platform. We show in swine studies (n=2) the biopsy capsule can locate simulated targets and visualize the extraction of biopsies. Owing to its capacity to be utilized in patients without requiring sedation, this new technology could be useful for screening for BE subjects who have an elevated risk of developing cancer.
