Prospective Study for Evaluating Colon Polyp Histology With in Vivo Probe Based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy

Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) is another novel imaging tool for enabling histopathologic diagnosis in vivo during endoscopy. Specially designed confocal endoscopes have the confocal laser microscope integrated to the distal tip of the conventional endoscope. This provide images at a cellular level that have been shown to have a high sensitivity, specificity and accuracy
