| Abstract Scope |
Light scattered by tissue carries abundant information about cellular morphology, which can be used to evaluate disease status. Angle-resolved low coherence interferometry (a/LCI) is an optical biopsy technique that measures angularly scattered light to determine depth-dependent nuclear size, a sensitive biomarker for precancer. A/LCI’s efficacy for detecting dysplasia has been demonstrated with high sensitivity/specificity using various animal models and ex vivo human tissue. Presented here are the latest developments, including an in vivo clinical study of patients with Barrett’s esophagus and the next generation 2D angular scattering measurement system. |
