Sponsors and Collaborators:	Kansas City Veteran Affairs Medical Center Medical University of South Carolina Academisch Medisch Centrum - Universiteit van Amsterdam (AMC-UvA)
Information provided by:	Kansas City Veteran Affairs Medical Center
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00576498

Purpose

Primary Aim: In patients with endoscopically suspected BE, compared to standard endoscopy, novel techniques (NBI and AFI) with target biopsies will

Detect more patients with intestinal metaplasia
Detect more areas of high grade dysplasia
Require fewer biopsies and a shorter time for procedure completion

Secondary Aim:

Compare the yield of high-grade dysplasia(HGD)using NBI/AFI versus standard endoscopy with biopsy.
Compare the number of biopsies and procedure times for NBI/AFI versus standard endoscopy with biopsy.
Compare the inter-observer variability in classifying different mucosal and vascular patterns observed by NBI/AFI using kappa statistics.

1: Experimental Narrow Band Imaging- Patients will be evaluated with a standard magnification endoscope (Olympus GIF Q240Z, 115x) using a NBI light source. Autofluorescence Imaging- Patients will be evaluated using a prototype autofluorescence endoscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan; excitation 395-475 nm, fluorescence detection 490-625 nm, red reflectance 600-620 nm and green reflectance 540-560 nm)	Other: NBI-AFI imaging Narrow Band Imaging- Patients will be evaluated with a standard magnification endoscope (Olympus GIF Q240Z, 115x) using a NBI light source.Target biopsies with standard biopsy forceps will be obtained from the different visualized patterns in separate jars. Autofluorescence Imaging- Patients will be evaluated using a prototype autofluorescence endoscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan; excitation 395-475 nm, fluorescence detection 490-625 nm, red reflectance 600-620 nm and green reflectance 540-560 nm).In this system, normal squamous and non-dysplastic BE appears green while the dysplastic areas appear magenta/purplish. Targeted biopsies will be obtained from the areas with abnormal fluorescence.
