Tethered capsule en face optical coherence tomography for imaging Barrett's esophagus in unsedated patients [PDF]
Detection of Barrett's esophagus (BE) at points of care outside the endoscopy suite may improve screening access and reduce esophageal adenocarcinoma mortality. Tethered capsule optical coherence tomography (OCT) can volumetrically image esophageal mucosa and detect BE in unsedated patients.

Learning Visual Representations with Optimum-Path Forest and its Applications to Barrett's Esophagus and Adenocarcinoma Diagnosis [PDF]
In this work, we introduce the unsupervised Optimum-Path Forest (OPF) classifier for learning visual dictionaries in the context of Barrett's esophagus (BE) and automatic adenocarcinoma diagnosis. The proposed approach was validated in two datasets (MICCAI 2015 and Augsburg) using three different feature extractors (SIFT, SURF, and the not yet applied ...

SmartArm: Suturing Feasibility of a Surgical Robotic System on a Neonatal Chest Model [PDF]
Commercially available surgical-robot technology currently addresses many surgical scenarios for adult patients. This same technology cannot be used to the benefit of neonate patients given the considerably smaller workspace. Medically relevant procedures regarding neonate patients include minimally invasive surgery to repair congenital esophagus ...

The global prevalence of Barrett’s esophagus: A systematic review of the published literature
Background Determining the prevalence of Barrett’s esophagus is important for defining screening strategies. We aimed to synthesize the available data, determine Barrett’s esophagus prevalence, and assess variability.

MRI-MECH: Mechanics-informed MRI to estimate esophageal health [PDF]
Dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a popular medical imaging technique to generate image sequences of the flow of a contrast material inside tissues and organs. However, its application to imaging bolus movement through the esophagus has only been demonstrated in few feasibility studies and is relatively unexplored.
