Summary
The overall objective of this multicenter trial is to determine whether the use of a
low-cost, high-resolution microendoscope during diagnostic upper endoscopy can improve the
efficiency and accuracy of endoscopic screening for esophageal squamous cell neoplasia. This
is a multicenter clinical trial of a novel technology, a miniaturized, lower cost (< $3, 500)
microscope device which can be used during upper endoscopy to image the gastrointestinal
epithelium. This high-resolution microendoscope (HRME) was developed by our collaborators at
RICE University and provides >1000X magnified images of the esophageal mucosa.
