Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods are provided for examination and removal of polyps. Using methods and systems of the present disclosure, one can determine whether a polyp is benign or cancerous in situ.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: introducing at least one media comprising at least one thermally responsive polymer into tissue comprising submucosa of a polyp; measuring a response to an external stimuli in the tissue, the external stimuli being an air puff; and deducing a state of health of the tissue by measuring the response to the air puff with a tonometer. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the media further comprises saline. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the media comprises at least one thermoreversible polymer. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein deducing the state of health of the tissue comprises determining whether or not the polyp is cancerous. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein deducing the state of health of the tissue comprises deducing the state of health in real time.
