    • Comprehensive confocal endomicroscopy of the esophagus in vivo 

      Kang, Dongkyun; Schlachter, Simon C.; Carruth, Robert W.; Kim, Minkyu; Wu, Tao; Tabatabaei, Nima; Vacas-Jacques, Paulino; Shishkov, Milen; Woods, Kevin; Sauk, Jenny S.; Leung, John; Nishioka, Norman S.; Tearney, Guillermo J. (© Georg Thieme Verlag KG, 2014)
      Background and study aims: Biopsy sampling error can be a problem for the diagnosis of certain gastrointestinal tract diseases. Spectrally-encoded confocal microscopy (SECM) is a high-speed reflectance confocal microscopy ...

    • Comprehensive Microscopy of the Esophagus in Human Patients with Optical Frequency Domain Imaging 

      Suter, Melissa; Vakoc, Benjamin; Yachimski, Patrick S.; Shishkov, Milen Stefanov; Lauwers, Gregory Y.; Mino-Kenudson, Mari; Bouma, Brett; Nishioka, Norman Shizuaki; Tearney, Guillermo James (Elsevier BV, 2008)
      Background: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a cross-sectional, high-resolution imaging modality that has been shown to accurately differentiate esophageal specialized intestinal metaplasia (SIM) from gastric cardia ...

    • Flexible transbronchial optical frequency domain imaging smart needle for biopsy guidance 

      Tan, K.M.; Shishkov, Milen Stefanov; Chee, A.; Applegate, M. B.; Bouma, Brett; Suter, Melissa (Optical Society of America, 2012)
      Transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) is a procedure routinely performed to diagnose peripheral pulmonary lesions. However, TBNA is associated with a low diagnostic yield due to inappropriate needle placement. We have ...

    • Identifying Intestinal Metaplasia at the Squamocolumnar Junction by Using Optical Coherence Tomography 

      Evans, John A.; Bouma, Brett; Bressner, Jason; Shishkov, Milen Stefanov; Lauwers, Gregory Y.; Mino-Kenudson, Mari; Nishioka, Norman Shizuaki; Tearney, Guillermo James (Elsevier BV, 2007)
      Background: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an optical imaging method that produces high-resolution cross-sectional images of the esophagus. The accuracy of OCT for differentiating tissue types at the squamocolumnar ...
