… Because biopsies are taken at random from within a section of Barretts esophagus,
detection of pre-cancerous changes is relatively poor [4]. Elastic scattering spectroscopy (ESS),
also known as diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, is a novel technique for minimally invasive
optical diagnosis of tissue pathology [5]. It … This paper presents preliminary data using this
technology to diagnose dysplasia or cancer within Barretts esophagus. …
Abstract
We present the results of a clinical study using ESS to detect dysplasia in the esophagus. We focus on the use of novel statistical techniques and the clinical benefits this technique provides.
