description

The modern colonoscopist faces two problems: identifying all relevant lesions and then making an appropriate risk assessment of the detected lesions. The latter is crucial for determining patient outcome. A feasibility study suggests that a new endomicroscopy technology could greatly improve the detection and assessment of neoplastic colorectal lesions.
