The goal of this research is to follow Barrett's Esophagus patients for 3 years using the
tethered capsule endomicroscopy device with distal scanning and a compact imaging system in a
multi-site clinical study.

endomicroscopy imaging and will be performed at 5 different clinical centers in the US,
namely: Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH),(MA), Mayo Clinic Jacksonville (FL), Mayo Clinic
Rochester (MN), Columbia University Medical Center (NY), Kansas City VA Medical Center (MO).
MGH will be the coordinating center of this multicenter study. Dr G. Tearney will serve as
study Sponsor Investigator.
