Summary

This study is testing a new imaging technology that can look at tissue samples from the stomach and intestines without destroying them. The goal is to see if this tool can help doctors detect diseases like inflammation or cancer more quickly and accurately. About 200 adults scheduled for routine endoscopy or colonoscopy will take part. The approach is still in early development and does not directly treat any disease.
