The overall objective of this study is to determine whether high-resolution imaging of the
esophagus during routine diagnostic upper endoscopy can assist clinicians in detecting and
discriminating dysplastic (precancerous) areas. This high-resolution microendoscope (HRME)
was developed by our collaborators at Rice University and provides > 1000x magnified images
of the esophageal mucosa. The purpose of this study is to determine whether this device can
be used to enhance the diagnostic accuracy of routine endoscopic screening for squamous cell
cancer of the esophagus.
