Summary

This study is testing a small, swallowable imaging capsule to see if it can help doctors better examine the esophagus and mark suspicious areas in people with Barrett's Esophagus. Participants will swallow the capsule, which takes detailed pictures, before their standard endoscopy procedure. Researchers will compare the capsule's images and markings to those from the traditional procedure to see if the capsule is accurate and practical.
