About the NvisionVLE® Imaging System
The NvisionVLE Imaging System provides a unique and clinically valuable new perspective of esophageal disease: The ability to image within the wall of the esophagus. By providing a high-resolution, real-time scan of the esophagus using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) – a technology similar to ultrasound but using infrared light rather than sound waves - the system enables physicians to view structures not evident with conventional imaging, and potentially identify disease that would have otherwise been missed. This groundbreaking technology can provide for improved physician diagnosis and more effective treatment. The NvisionVLE® Imaging System has been cleared by the FDA and is commercially available in the U.S. For more information, please go to www.ninepointmedical.com.
