Pilot Study to Image the Esophagus Using a SECM Probe
The study is being done to test the feasibility and tolerability of a SECM imaging probe in
patients with Barrett's Esophagus (BE).
Subjects will undergo SECM probe imaging while they are under conscious sedation. Spiral SECM
imaging will be performed continuously over a pre-determined length. Patients will later be
asked for their feedback.

asked for their feedback.
Subjects with a previous diagnosis of Barrett's Esophagus will be recruited in the study and
undergo SECM probe imaging while using conscious sedation, pulse oximetry and blood pressure
monitoring. The probe will be inserted the predetermined required distance in the esophagus
using a guide wire.
Once the SECM imaging probe is in place, spiral SECM image data will be continuously
collected over a pre-determined length (approximately 5cm).
