Full-Field Optical Coherence Tomography (FFOCT) for Evaluation of Bronchoscopic Small Biopsy Specimens


Sponsor

Johns Hopkins University

Enrollment

20 participants

Start Date

Dec 9, 2021

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This study sets out to register imaging of small biopsy specimens obtained during bronchoscopy using full-field optical coherence tomography against standard histologic evaluation.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a new imaging technology called full-field optical coherence tomography (FFOCT) — which creates very detailed, microscopic images of tissue without processing it — to evaluate small tissue samples taken during bronchoscopy (a procedure to view the airways) for lung diagnosis or staging. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 years of age or older - You are undergoing a bronchoscopy procedure as part of your standard medical care for lung diagnosis or staging - Small biopsy samples are being collected during your bronchoscopy (by standard needle or biopsy techniques) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have a standard contraindication to bronchoscopy (e.g., bleeding disorders, blood thinners, severe respiratory failure, medical instability) - You are pregnant Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
