Official title
Study for Imaging the Lower Gastrointestinal Tract Using a Colonoscopy-Compatible OCT Probe
Overview
The goal of this study is to use a colonoscope compatible device capable of taking images of the lower gastrointestinal tract. The main question it aims to answer is: Is the colonoscope compatible optical coherence tomography probe (CC-OCT probe) an effective device to use to take images of the gut? During the participant's standard of care colonoscopy, the CC-OCT probe will be inserted into the colonoscope. The CC-OCT probe will then collect images of the participant's gastrointestinal tract in real time.
Interventions
- Device Feasibility of using a CC-OCT probe to image the GI tract
250 participants will be enrolled in this study. All consented participants will receive the same intervention.
