Optical Coherence Tomography can be used to address some limitations of colonoscopy. The interferometric spectral information was used to create multiple, narrow-band, images, at different wavelengths, which were combined to create a “spectral score” for each pixel. This approach improved the visual evaluation of the images as well as the automatic classification of the images (82% accuracy).
