Measuring the Spectrum of Tissues During Endoscopy

NCT00996619 | Unknown

• 1 other identifier: SHEBA-7285-09-AO-CTIL
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 100
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

Lesions, polyps and other abnormalities in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract have a different composition compared to the normal mucose. The investigators plan to gather spectroscopic information from these features. Characterizing their unique spectrums, may help to enhance the detection and identification of these objects during endoscopy.

Conditions

Colon Carcinoma; Colonic Polyps; Intestinal Polyps

Study Arms (1)

People undergoing GI tract endoscopy

Procedure: An optical fiber, inside the work channel of an endoscope, is added to the endoscopic examination

Interventions

An optical fiber, inside the work channel of an endoscope, is added to the endoscopic examination PROCEDURE

An optical fiber, inside the work channel of an endoscope, connected to a spectroscope, enables measuring the spectrum of objects "seen" by the endoscope

Also known as: The brand of the optical fiber is not relevant

People undergoing GI tract endoscopy
