Confocal endomicroscopy offers virtual in vivo histology during endoscopy. This technique aids in diagnosing conditions like colorectal cancer and Barrett's esophagus.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Endoscopic Imaging

Background:

  • In vivo fluorescence endomicroscopy provides real-time, high-resolution imaging of the mucosal layer.
  • This advanced diagnostic tool allows for virtual histology during endoscopic procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current data on the technique and clinical applications of confocal endomicroscopy.
  • To summarize the established and emerging indications for this technology.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on in vivo fluorescence endomicroscopy.
  • Analysis of clinical data regarding the use of confocal endomicroscopy in various gastrointestinal conditions.

Main Results:

  • Confocal endomicroscopy enables virtual in vivo histology of the gastrointestinal mucosa.
