About this study

The Optical Coherence Tomography is a minimally-invasive diagnostic tool in both the office and operating room settings can identify sources of airway obstruction and effective surgical interventions. The researcher can use Optical Coherence Tomography to image tissues of the aero-digestive tract during surgical endoscopy in to the nose, oral cavity, larynx and ear in an outpatient clinic setting.

Read the detailed description

The Optical Coherence Tomography imaging system has low power non-laser broad band infrared light shine onto laryngeal, esophageal, tracheal, oral, nasal and ear tissue and does not involve input of significant amounts of energy and no temperature rise occurs.

The gradual development and acceptance of Optical Coherence Tomography as an imaging modality serves as an alternative to invasive tissue biopsy as a diagnostic measure. Imaging diagnosis, can implement and more convenient than tissue biopsy and can reduce procedural complications.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnostic tool (time frame: up to 4 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00544427, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
