Article Synopsis
- Study aimed to assess the safety and feasibility of a new biopsy guidance method using volumetric laser endomicroscopy (VLE) for patients with Barrett's esophagus.
- The study involved 22 participants at Massachusetts General Hospital, with real-time marking of biopsy sites in 10 participants, showing no adverse events and effective visibility of laser marks.
- Results indicated high accuracy in diagnosing tissue near the marks, with VLE achieving 93%-100% accuracy compared to traditional methods, although findings are based on a single-center approach and a small sample size.
