Abstract
A device for cancer screening and triage using an optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging system integrated with optical imaging probe is provided. Endoscopic OCT images are generated using the OCT system having a helical probe. The images are further analyzed to generate a depth resolved intensity OCT signal to classify the region of tissue into variable grades of dysplasia to guide the physician's biopsy or resection.
