Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a real-time optical imaging technique that is similar
in principle to ultrasonography, but employs light instead of sound waves and allows depth …

Colon cancer prevention currently relies on colonoscopy using white light to detect and
remove polyps, but small and flat polyps are difficult to detect and frequently missed when …

Multimodality imaging is an essential aspect of endoscopic surveillance for the detection of
neoplastic lesions, such as dysplasia or intramucosal cancer, because it improves the …

Esophageal adenocarcinoma is rising rapidly in incidence and usually develops from
Barrett's esophagus, a precursor condition commonly found in patients with chronic acid …

Endoscopy is a clinical gold standard to exam the interior of a hollow organ or body cavity.
For the first of time, this study presents the design and construction of a fluorescent …

OBJECTIVES Current surgical procedures lack high-sensitivity intraoperative imaging
guidance, leading to undetected micro tumours. In vivo near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence …

Background Comparative effectiveness data pertaining to competing colorectal cancer
(CRC) screening tests do not exist but are necessary to guide clinical decision making and …

Molecular imaging is a novel field in gastroenterology that uses fluorescently labelled
probes to specifically highlight neoplastic lesions on the basis of their molecular signature …

The visual identification and demarcation of tumors and tumor margins remains challenging
due to the low optical contrast of cancer cells over surrounding tissues. Fluorescence …

Early detection of colorectal cancer (CRC) is crucial for effective treatment. Among CRC
screening techniques, optical colonoscopy is widely considered the gold standard …
