Mo1284 WATS TESTING IMPROVES DETECTION OF INTESTINAL METAPLASIA IN PATIENTS WITH SYMPTOMATIC GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE AND VISIBLE COLUMNAR MUCOSA OF ≥1 CM IN LENGTH IN THE ESOPHAGUS

Wide area transepithelial sample biopsy with three-dimensional computer-assisted analysis (WATS, CDx Diagnostics, Suffern, NY) uses brush sampling to evaluate histologic features of a wide area of mucosa.
