For a demonstration of the NvisionVLE® Imaging System at DDW 2015, please visit the NinePoint Medical team in booth #2611.
The NvisionVLE® Imaging System is indicated for use as an imaging tool in the evaluation of human tissue microstructure, including esophageal tissue microstructure, by providing two-dimensional, cross-sectional, real-time depth visualization. The safety and effectiveness of this device for diagnostic analysis (i.e. differentiating normal versus specific abnormalities) in any tissue microstructure or specific disease has not been evaluated.
About Digestive Disease Week
Digestive Disease Week® (DDW®) is the largest international gathering of physicians, researchers and academics in the fields of gastroenterology, hepatology, endoscopy and gastrointestinal surgery. Jointly sponsored by the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD), the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Institute, the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) and the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract (SSAT). More information can be found at http://www.ddw.org.
About The NvisionVLE™ Imaging System
NinePoint Medical’s proprietary NvisionVLE® Imaging System enables physicians and pathologists to endoscopically view cross-sectional images of the esophagus with 7 micron resolution and up to 3mm deep, in real-time. This advanced form of optical coherence tomography (OCT), also known as VLE (volumetric laser endomicroscopy), can be used to aid clinical decision-making relative to biopsy placement or treatment planning.
NinePoint Medical licensed this advanced OCT technology in 2010 from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), where it was developed at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine.
The FDA-cleared NvisionVLE® Imaging System is indicated for use as an imaging tool in the evaluation of human tissue microstructure, including esophageal tissue microstructure, by providing two-dimensional, cross-sectional, real-time depth visualization. The safety and effectiveness of this device for diagnostic analysis (i.e. differentiating normal versus specific abnormalities) in any tissue microstructure or specific disease has not been evaluated.
