Scanning fiber endoscopy with highly flexible, 1 mm catheterscopes for wide-field, full-color imaging2010 •
In modern endoscopy, wide field of view and full color are considered necessary for navigating inside the body, inspecting tissue for disease and guiding interventions such as biopsy or surgery. Current flexible endoscope technologies suffer from reduced resolution when device diameter shrinks. Endoscopic procedures today, using coherent fiber-bundle technology on the scale of 1 mm, are performed with such poor image quality that the clinician's vision meets the criteria for legal blindness. Here, we review a new and versatile scanning fiber-imaging technology and describe its implementation for ultrathin and flexible endoscopy. This scanning fiber endoscope (SFE) or catheterscope enables high-quality, laser-based, video imaging for ultrathin clinical applications, while also providing new options for in vivo biological research of subsurface tissue and high resolution fluorescence imaging.

Advanced endoscopic imaging for Barrett's Esophagus: current options and future directions2012 •
Barrett's esophagus is the precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma, one of the most rapidly increasing cancers in the United States. Given the poor prognosis of late-stage adenocarcinoma, endoscopic surveillance is recommended for subjects with Barrett's esophagus to detect early neoplasia. Current guidelines recommend "random" four-quadrant biopsies taken every 1-2 cm throughout the Barrett's segment. However, this only samples a minority of epithelium and has been shown to miss areas of endoscopically- inapparent neoplasia (high grade dysplasia or cancer). Recent efforts have focused on developing novel diagnostic imaging technologies to detect the subtle epithelial changes associated with dysplasia and neoplasia in Barrett's esophagus. Some of these modalities serve as "red flag" technologies designed to detect areas of abnormality within large surface areas. Other technologies serve to characterize areas of visible abnormality, offering a highe...

Telepathology and optical biopsy2009 •
The ability to obtain information about the structure of tissue without taking a sample for pathology has opened the way for new diagnostic techniques. The present paper reviews all currently available techniques capable of producing an optical biopsy, with or without morphological images. Most of these techniques are carried out by physicians who are not specialized in pathology and therefore not trained to interpret the results as a pathologist would. In these cases, the use of telepathology or distant consultation techniques is essential.
