Endoscopic Subsurface Optical Imaging for Cancer Detection

The purpose of this pilot study is to develop the methodology for an innovative subsurface imaging technology that was designed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. It will allow the non-invasive analysis and imaging of tissues and chemical distributions in the body at an imaging depth of up to 1 centimeter with spatial resolution on the order of 1 mm.

About this study

This is a pilot, feasibility study to determine if the subsurface imaging technology warrants advancement to a larger clinical trial.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

Patient must be scheduled for a bladder procedure (TURBT or Cystectomy) at the University of California Davis Medical Center.

Exclusion criteria

Non bladder surgical procedures at University of California Davis Medical Center.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

Accuracy of the subsurface laser to determine cancer cells versus normal cells when viewed endoscopically during a surgical procedure.

Time frame: 1 year

Does the subsurface laser allow enough light to visually assess the cells. Logical metric of either "Yes" or "No".
