Background: Both optical coherence tomography (OCT) and catheter probe EUS (CPEUS) are candidates for high-resolution imaging of the GI wall, but their potential roles in this clinical context have not been investigated. Methods: OCT and CPEUS were used to image normal-appearing portions of the GI tract at the same sites. CPEUS was performed with a 20-MHz or a new 30-MHz catheter probe. Results: Forty-four histologically confirmed normal sites in 27 patients were evaluated. With OCT, mucosa and muscularis mucosa were clearly seen at all sites. Except for stomach, OCT demonstrated the submucosa in all sites. OCT penetration ranged from 0.7 to 0.9 mm. Microscopic structures such as esophageal glands, intestinal villi, colonic crypts, and blood vessels were easily identified. CPEUS penetration ranged from 10 mm to 20 mm, and 5 to 7 distinct layers were discernible. However, both mucosa and submucosa were seen as thin layers without microscopic detail. Conclusion: OCT resolution is superior to high-frequency CPEUS, but depth of penetration is limited to mucosa and submucosa. OCT images the major structural components of the mucosa and submucosa whereas CPEUS does not. Potentially, OCT and high-frequency CPEUS may be complementary for clinical imaging.
