What is it about?
The inability to precisely measure the area of a lesion can impair the study of its natural history and response to therapy. This is especially true in case of gastrointestinal lesions, where a standard imaging technique is endoscopy and an unaided visual interpretation of the size of the lesion is difficult. This study presents a novel technique that provides precise measurement of 2-dimensional lesions in cylinder-like organs.

Why is it important?
Transforming an image in certain ways can help understand if therapies are working. It can reduce the number of invasive tests and help suggest alternative treatments
