Study Summary

The specific aim of this study is to determine the feasibility of marking target pathologic locations identified on Optical Frequency Domain Imaging (OFDI) datasets using superficial cautery marks of the esophagus that are visible by endoscopy for subsequent guidance of biopsy.

Primary Outcome

Determination of the feasibility to mark targeted pathologic locations identified through OFDI imaging using superficial cautery marks.Verification by endoscopy and utilization of the marks for biopsy guidance.Images will be analyzed and compared to biopsies of the correlated marked tissue.
