In-vivo detection of pre-cancerous changes in Barrett's esophagus using elastic scattering spectroscopy (ESS)

We present the results of a clinical study using ESS to detect dysplasia in the esophagus. We focus on the use of novel statistical techniques and the clinical benefits this technique provides.
