Detectable Esophageal Early Increase in Blood Supply (EIBS) in Patients With Barrett's Esophagus
The purpose of this study is to determine if early Barrett's specialized intestinal
metaplasia can be detected by measuring early increased blood supply of the esophageal
tissue, with 4 Dimensional Elastic Light-Scattering Fingerprinting, (4D-ELF) technology in
real time.
