Gastrointestinal optical coherence tomography: clinical applications, limitations, and research priorities.
Optical coherence tomography provides the highest resolution available of any of the technologies currently used in endoscopic imaging. There are several potential clinical applications for optical coherence tomography, particularly with precancerous conditions of the gastrointestinal tract. The future of optical coherence tomography is discussed.
