Imaging checks on biopsy samples during routine scopes
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses special optical imaging during routine upper or lower endoscopy to look at biopsy tissue and compare what the images show with standard lab microscope results. It may help improve how doctors spot abnormal tissue during procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a routine upper scope (esophagogastroduodenoscopy) and/or a routine colon scope (colonoscopy).
- Your procedure is an elective (planned) one.
- You must be able to have the study’s extra imaging done during the scope.
- Your medical team at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) endoscopy unit must consider you eligible based on their usual safety standards.

This study checks how well the LUM Imaging System can detect cancers of the esophagus, colon, or pancreas during the time you are preparing for surgery. It’s mainly meant to see if the scan works safely and clearly for doctors to find cancer areas.
This study uses pictures taken during routine bowel scope (endoscopy) to build and test a computer system for training and research in inflammatory bowel disease. It may help doctors and trainees interpret scope images more consistently over time.
This trial looks at using a special light-based method (optical biopsy) to examine small growths on the lining of the abdomen during colorectal cancer surgery. It may help doctors better assess these peritoneal nodules while you are already having an operation.
This study looks at how well a computer “AI” system can help doctors spot stomach and bowel abnormalities during endoscopy (camera tests of the gut). If you’re having a gastroscopy or colonoscopy for symptoms or follow-up care, this could improve how findings are recognized.
This trial tests a new dye that lights up blood vessels in the gut during an endoscopy, using a special camera. It may help doctors see abnormal areas more clearly.
This trial uses images and videos from routine capsule endoscopy procedures to develop better ways to diagnose conditions. If you're already scheduled for a capsule endoscopy, you can help by allowing your images to be used for research.
