Gastrointestinal Applications of Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy
Confocal laser endomicroscopy presents a novel method of real-time in vivo histological analysis of tissue that can be easily performed during endoscopy. This review goes over the fundamental principle of the technology and presents its various gastrointestinal applications. With particular focus on dynamic imaging, this review outlines the diagnostic potential of this technology.
متن کاملConfocal Endomicroscopy
Confocal endomicroscopy is a recently developed endoscopic technology that allows for histological analysis of tissue in vivo. Conventional endoscopy involves identifying lesions grossly followed by biopsy for histological analysis. Confocal endomicroscopy allows for the performance of real time biopsy during endoscopy by observation of the mucosal layer of the gastrointestinal tract at the cel...

متن کاملConfocal Laser Endomicroscopy
Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) is a newly developed endoscopic technique that enables imaging of the mucosal layer during endoscopy at a subcellular level of resolution. The method can therefore be used for the assessment of changes in vascular architecture, connective tissue, and cellular components in the mucosa, enabling endoscopists to collect real-time in vivo histological images or "...
متن کاملTracheobronchial Amyloidosis and Confocal Endomicroscopy
Tracheobronchial amyloidosis is one of many causes of endobronchial stenosis and nodularity, the concrete diagnosis of which currently requires the finding of apple-green birefringence from endobronchial biopsies. Bronchoscopic probe-based confocal endomicroscopy (pCLE) is a novel optical biopsy technique which provides real-time images of the lattice structure of the bronchial basement memRece...
