Clinical Trial Summary
The Optical Coherence Tomography is a minimally-invasive diagnostic tool in both the office
and operating room settings can identify sources of airway obstruction and effective surgical
interventions. The researcher can use Optical Coherence Tomography to image tissues of the
aero-digestive tract during surgical endoscopy in to the nose, oral cavity, larynx and ear in
an outpatient clinic setting.
Description:
The Optical Coherence Tomography imaging system has low power non-laser broad band infrared
light shine onto laryngeal, esophageal, tracheal, oral, nasal and ear tissue and does not
involve input of significant amounts of energy and no temperature rise occurs.
The gradual development and acceptance of Optical Coherence Tomography as an imaging modality
serves as an alternative to invasive tissue biopsy as a diagnostic measure. Imaging
diagnosis, can implement and more convenient than tissue biopsy and can reduce procedural
complications.
