The hypothesis is that the addition of a transparent cap to the end of the endoscope will
increase the detection and diagnostic yield of visible lesions in Barrett's esophagus. Thus,
the goal of this tandem design trial is to compare the diagnostic yield (DY) of cap assisted
endoscopy with that of conventional endoscopy using high definition-white light endoscopy
(HD-WLE) and narrow band imaging (NBI) in patients with Barrett's esophagus.
