Advances in confocal laser endomicroscopy for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases

2009

Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) is a novel technique enabling in vivo microscopy of the human gastrointestinal mucosa. Cellular details even below the tissue surface can be visualized at high resolution during ongoing endoscopy.This review summarizes the current clinical data on the use of CLE in different disease states and discusses a perspective for future clinical and scientific application of CLE.Review on published literature and meeting abstracts.Confocal laser endomicroscopy covers a growing field of indications in both upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy and beyond. It has been shown to reliably predict the presence of neoplastic lesions and inflammatory changes of the g…
